A Father sees Three Children Burned IN his
House-He Rides Naked Mile IN Freezing
Weather for Help.
The reside nee of Emanuel Helpman,
situated Oh section fourteen of the
township of Trowbridge, Allogan county,
in this Stat9, was entirely consumed
by fire on the night of the oath, with
three of his children-one boy and two
girls. Mr.. and Mrs Helpman barely
escaped with their other two children.
Mr.. Hclpman had worked hard all day
aud retired quite early. His family
soon followed leaving the stove red hot
and we'll filled. The fire must have
caught in the roof from the pipe, as
there was no chimney, and Mr.. II. was
awakened about midnight by the roof
falling in. The fire had then blocked
up the passage through the door, and
he Immediately aroused his wife, broke
open window, and pulled her aud two
of the childrca out, uone CT them hav-
ing anything on but their night clothes,
and even those being nearly burned off.
Ills otDer Doy came 10 tue WinuoW, auu
Mr.. II. had nearly succeeded 10 pulling
him out by the shirt when the gar.
ment which was badly burned, parted,
aud the boy fell back into the flames.
The cries Of the little sufferers were
heard for some time afterwards, but
they could not be saved. Mr.. Help.
ma o, then covered bis wife and rescued
children up 10 the hay iu the barn, and
rode q horse one mile to his nearest
neighbor for assistance. When he ar.
rived he was nearly frozen, that being
the coolest night Of the season, and he
wholly naked. He sank into state
of unconciousness as soon as he told
the story. The neighbors Immediately
rallied and furnished all the assistance
within their power Mr.. Ii. is in a
critical condition, being roasted aud
frozen in places. No calamity has ever
before cast such gloom over that CON-
munity, as this. Several hundred dol
lars have already been raised for the
family.
