COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. AT 4
o'clock to-day the residence Of John H.
H!bbard, 1898 East Long street, was
discovered TO be on fire. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hibbard, their son Allen, aged five, and
baby Dorothy, Miss Fay Hibbard and
Mrs. Grace HIbbard Lee. sisters, OF
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, perished In the smoke
and their bodies were more or less de-
strOyed by fire.
Mr., Hibbnrd Is secretary of the Cen
tral Ohio Natural Gas and Fuel Com
nany, and Is connected by marriage
with the Deshlers. HuntInEtons and
others OF the wealthiest families OF
Columbus, -Four sons less than fifteen
years of age and the cClOred servant,
aged eighteen, and originally from Pa
latka, Fla, escaped by jumping from
second story windows. Natural gas
was used, but the fire evidently origin
ated from some defective construction
in the wood work.
Mrs. Lee was the wife Of son of the
editor OF the Barnesville Enterprise.
She and her sister were to have re-
turned home to-day. Mrs. Harry Lew
IL, a sister. resides in Chicago. The
other friends are In Ohio.
The Boys Escape.
The boys were early rIsers. They
were beginning TO stir IN their room.
Walter smelled something like cotton
burning. He opened their bed room
door; smoke rushing in the boys rushed
out. They broke for the head of the
front stairs. Smoke from the fire below
coming up the open Sttrwdy from tRe
reception room drove them back. They
fled through hall TO landing on the
back stairway. where four OF them
Jumped through window TO the
ground. Allen, six years old, could not,
Il would seem, climb up to the windoW
sill. The boys called TO him 10 jump,
but he ran back Into the hall and met
his father mother and the two house
guests, and four of them, the father
and the two guests and Allen, ran into
the room from which the servant had
Jumped to the ground. Mrs. Hibhard
evidently went back to the guest room
10 get her little girl from crib, as the
mother was found dead in the hall,
faced toward her child and not far
from It.
How They Perished.
Mr.. Hibbard. the two lady guests
and Allen died right under the win
dow from which the servant jumped.
They were either suftocated and un-
able TO lump by the time they got there.
or the ladies were afraid to jump, ana
Mr.. Hihbard gallnntly perished with
them while doing his utmost to save
The two ladies had bed clothing about
their heads as defense against the
smoke, showing that while all pertshed;
they seem to have made an uncontused
effort to escape. Had they believed the
boys were out OF the building the adults
might have jumped from their front
bed room windows, but the frantic cries
Of Allen in the hall no doubt leu tne
adults in that direction.
