BURNED TO DEATH.
Terrible Fate Of Three Little
Children at Pequaming
Tuesday.
THE HOUSE DESTROYED.
Mother Went Out to Milk the
Cow, Leaving the Children
Alone.

A terrible and heartrending mis-
fortune occurred at Pequaming
Tuesday morning, when three
small children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Michael Anderson were burned to
death, and the house and contents
also destroyed.
About three weeks ago Mr.. An
derson secured employment in the
copper country, his wife and four
children remaining at lPequaming
On the morning in question Mrs
Anderson arose about Z o'clock
started a fire in the stove and went
to the barn to milk the COW, leav-
ing the children in bed. She then
went to one of the neighbors to de-
liver some milk, and upon return
ing discovered her house on
fire. An alarm was at once
given, and the frantic mother
rushed to window of the bedroom
where her children were, and sue
ceeded in rescuing an infant child.
But Notwithstanding the most
strenuous efforts of number of
people who had assembled it was
impossible to rescue the three little
boys, aged 2, 3 and 5 years, and
they were burned to death.
The house and contents were
totally destroyed, and from among
the ruins were taken the charred
remains of the little children
The funerals were held from the
Pequaming Town Hall Thursday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, service be-
ing conducted by Rev. Tollonen, of
Ishpeming, and was largely at
tended by sympathizing friends.
The little caskets were covered with
beautiful floral offerings, contributed
by the children of Pequaming,
The parents are heart-broken
over the terrible affair, and
have the sincere sympathy of the
entire community.
1t is not known how the fire
originated, unless, perhaps, the
oldest child was playing around the
