What Mother Found When She Returned
Home from Visit.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 5.-Two lit
tie children were burned to death at
their home in Sheffield yesterday after
noon. They were Maggie Stitziel, aged
5 years, and Henry Stitziel, aged 3
years. The father was at work when
the accident occurred. The mother
had been at home all day, and left the
house shortly after 5o'clock to run over
to a eighbor's home for a few minutes.
She left the children playing in the
kitchen, and closed the door tightly
behind her. When she returned
twenty minutes later she noticed
smoke issuing from the cracks in the
house, and upon opening the door she
found the interior of the kitchen to be
a mass of flame. The children were
hidden by the smoke. Mrs. Stitziel
screamed, and several of the neigh bors,
attracted by her cries, gathered and
extinguished the flames.
When the smoke cleared away the
charred bodies of the children, burned
beyond recognition, were lying upon
the charred floor. There was not, in
either case, the sem blance of human
form. The arms and limbs were
burned off close to the trunks and the
heads charred and blackened. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but it
is supposed to have started in a defect
