TRAGEDY ON A FARM
TWO CHILDREN ARE BURNED
10 DEATH.
The Home of a Farmer Destroyed
by Fire md Two OF His Cht:aren
Lose Their Livcs-The Father and
Mother Badly Injured.

Grand Forks, n. D., July 3l.-Par-
t~iculars just received of the burning OF
the house of j. III. Langevin, a farmer
living near Olga, a few days ago, show
it to have been a tie, rible tragedy. Mr..
started the kitchen fire with kerosene,
after which he hung the can on a nail
in the wall just behind end over the
stove. He then went to the well for a
pail of water. While drawing the water
he was startled by a noise st the house,
and looking around saw that the kitchen
was full of smoke. Hurrying back he
found that the oil can had fallen on the
stove and broken. The oil ran over the
stove and room and instantly the room
was a mass of flames. Mrs. Langeyin
and the children were sleeping up stairs.
The Mortified father rushed up through
the flames and awoke them. He told his
wife to drop the children from the win
dow and he would catch them first and
then herself, as il was not safe for them
to come down the stairway. Going to
the window outside he found one OF the
children which the frantic mother had
already dropped to the ground, but no
signs of the others. Mr.. Langevin man
aged in some way to reach the window
from the outside when he found his wife
had tainted with another of the children
in her arms. He dropped both from the
window and hen turned to find the two
other children, but they were not up
stairs, and had evidently gone down the
stairway into the burning kitchen. He
faced the flames down stairs until he
was forced to retreat, and jumped from
the upper window. As the heat of the
fire died away willing hands began the
work of rescuing the bodies of the fated
ones. When the task was accomplished
the bodies were found to be so badly
burned as not to be recognized. Mr.. and
Mrs. Langevin are lying at the point of
death, but there is thought to be n pos
sibility of their recovery.
