girls and boy. Henry j. Adams and wife
were neighbors of the Ernspergers, and
their children were the same in number.
but two OF them were boys They resided
in Darke county, Ohio. at the time By mu-
tual agreement the two husbands traded
wives, the women being very well pleased
TO do So The children were equally divided,
the fathers choosing the and the
mothers the daughters. In 1917 Adams
moved TO this county and later to Miami
county. \ few years later the Ernsperger
family moved to Fulton county Being near
neighbors the two families still retained
the friendly relations as long as they lived.
After the death of the second Mrs. Ernsper-
ger, who had been Mrs. Adams, Miss Ern-
sperger, then a young lady living with her
mother. went back and kept house for her
father. While there she took typhoid fever.
Her mother, Mrs Adams, who had been

WORK OF AN INCENDIARY.
House Set on Fire and Mother and Babe
Burned TO Death.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 24-AIrs. Jen-
ME Irving Ross and her five-months-old
babe were burned to death in a fire which
occurred at the residence of her father a.
X. Irving, at o'clock this morning Mrs
Irving, the mother of Mrs. Ross, seventy
years of age, jumped from a back window
and received probably fatal injuries. Miss
Carrie Irving in jumping from a window
ruptured the tendons of her leg, and may
be a cripple for life. Mrs Ross had been
awakened a few moments before the fire
broke out by the crying of her babe She
opened the door leading into the hall and
a great wave of smoke poured into the
room. After that Miss Carrie Irving whom
Mrs. Ross aroused, has no clear recollection
of what happened. She never heard her
sister speak again. but thinks that she
picked up her babe and tried to make her
way out or the room and down stairs. Miss
Carrie Irving gathered up two children in
her charge and CROPPED her way TO the door
below. where her father, mother and two
brothers were sleeping. She aroused them
and the whole family made an effort to
reach the front door. which by that time
was a seething mass of flames. They were
driven back, but finally managed to reach
and open one of the rear windows, looking
into an area. The distance from the window
10 the ground was between eighteen and
twenty feet and all Of the party made that
jump
When the firemen came and succeeded in
breaking open the front door, pitiful sight
met their gaze. Mrs. Boss was lying dead
Clasped in her arms was the fiVe-months-
old babe. also dead 1t was evident from
the position of the bodies that Mrs. Ross
had succeeded in making her way down the
stairs but in the darkness and the smoke
had become confused and lost her way
The fire was plainly incendlary. 1t was de-
liberately planned and SO calculated as TO
preclude, as he thought, the possibility OF
any OF the family escaping when once the
flames had got under way. The Irving
home stands up high from the street and
the front door is reached by a long flight
of wooden steps IL was at these steps
