FOUR BURNED TO DEATH.

Lose Their Lives.

Mrs. George Cramer and Three Children
Lose Their Lives.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. So -Four
miles west of Brainerd, Mimi. Friday
four persons were burned to death.
George Cramer's house caught fire
and his wife and three children were
cremated. The husband was away,
but saw the fire and found the
burned bodies. The bodies lay in the
cellar together, burned beyond recog-
nition. Cramer is nearly crazed with
grief. The only theory now advanced
is that the house took fire under the
floor, that Mrs. Cramer was outside,
and on discovering it rushed in to save
the children and all fell to the cellar.
The woman was 26 years old. The
children were aged 4 and years and
the baby month.
