Iowa Falls, Sept. 29.-Details were
received last evening of the cremation
of the Bird children, brief mention of
which was made in these dispatches
yesterday, and which proves to be one
of the saddest affairs in the history OF
this part Of the state in many years.
1t appears that Mr.. Charles N. Bird,
who is one of the best known farmers
in the eastern part of this county, had
gone to Robertson to check up some
lodge books and was not expected
home until a late he SO the family
retired at usual time and left lamp
burning in the X chen until Mr.. Birds
return. The supposition is that the
lamp either exploded, was overturned or
ignited some substance that fired the
low part Of the house anosresulted
in TIL, slotting out Of three yoursg lives.
The e1ox i daughter who Is about 10
years of age had not gone to sleep and
detected the smell Of smoke and awak-
ened her mother, who rushed to save
the other children. The hired man who
was sleeping iraA another part of the
house. was awakened about the same
time by the presence of smoke in his
room and started to alarm the family.
BY this time the entire lower floor was
mass of flame and smoke ana gases
filled the upper story where the family
slept. The eldest daughter succeeded
in rescuing two of the younger children
and the mother had started to help the
other three children down stairs but
mistook a closet door for one leading
to the stair way 1t is thought at this
time the mother and three children
were overcome by the flame and smoke
and sank to the floor. The hired man
reached the room and dragged Mrs.
Bird down stairs and returned hoping
to rescue the three children who were
lying unconscious in the fame wrap
ped room above. But when he reached
the top of the stairs he found 1t too
late and was driven back by sheet
of flame that rushed from the room In
which the Imprisoned children lay. The
mother crazed with grief sought to
climb the stairs and rescue her chill
dren, but was restrained by the hired
man who realized the futility Of such
step. Mrs. Bird was badly injured and
was unconscious nearly all day yester-
day, one of the children also being
Frustrated by the inhalation Of the
smoke and flame.
The home was totally destroyed and
the remains Of the three children aged
5, Z, and IL years were found In the
basement, charred beyond recogni-
ton.
The funeral will be held at Rober-
ston tomorrow, and interrnent will
take place here, the remains being in
tered in one casket.
