Mrs. G. Il. WILSON with her two children
joined her husband at Buena Vista, Colo
RADIO, last fall. Colonel Wilson had his
family pleasantly settled in a comfortable
cottage. While attending an evening en-
tertainment recently, the house took fire
and with all its contents was consumed.
The bursting of an oil lamp is thought to
have caused the disaster, Very fortunately
the children were at a neighbor's, or a ma
terial misfortune might have been also a
tragic event. In the great fires in this viii
lage in 1875 Colonel Wilson's business was
burned out and in the last fire his family
lost heavily by the destruction of the resi-
Wilson, with whom the latter had her
home. Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson's many friends
will truly sympathize with them in this
new calamity and pray that the fire fiend
may never again molest their household di-
