C, Heber C. and Edward j also my sons L. H. Stewart andU. V. Stewart, who perished in the flames, although there was a guard on at the time, which failed to know anything about it until the cry of tire by myself, at which time two rooms were in alight of flame. Seven boys were sleeping in the back room, two of whom escaped through the flames, there being no other opening open-ing to the room. My wife rushed in through the flames to waken her children, chil-dren, and perished before there was any chance of rescue, although there was an opening made in the back part of the house within five minutes from the time we awoke ; but all had per-i per-i -bed by the pxplosion of the coal oil, vhieh was in the room with them. E. II. Stout aud Alonzo Stewart were the two who made their escape before getting get-ting badly hurt ; they are out of danger at present, the latter only slightly burnt. The origin of the fire is a mystery to all. |
