A visit was made to the darkened
South Rock Island home this morn
ing by an ARGUS representative with
q view to ascertaining some of the
circumstances leading up to what is
now considered to have been foul

is located on a private road about a
mile south of Eighteenth avenue and

his father. who has been unable to

he would soon return and relieve
him OF the chores about the place.

money Saturday evening" continued
MIR. Kuschmann, land remarked
what a'great help it would be to me
in paying of some Of our debts. The
Sd Of last month he was 81 years old
and said: Freddie, you keep $25 Of
your wages for q birthday present
and bring home whatever amount
you feel disposed to- But he an
swered me just like he always did:
No. papa, l will not keep a cent. l
don't need the money; you do. Wait
till all your debts are paid; then it
will be time enough to commence
talking about me Keeping birthday
money Then he went away. Oh!
he was such good boy-and how
could anyone be so cruel as to kill
him." And the tears began to flow
from the broken-hearted fathers
eyes.

When he had somewhat rallied from the
effects of suffocation and heat Calabia
told the story of how he escaped and left
his wife behind without tremor, and
while he seemed to be still somewhat
dazed, he had clear conception of the
events of the night. Later he said that he
tried to carry his wife to the window, but

out.

fire under control after IA short time. The
cause of the fire, which originated in the
hallway of the first floor, is unknown. The
