Death Of the Children.

Shortly after Z o'clock on Tues
day evening, November 81. George
and Frances Kryder and Preston
hughes were left playing on the
toor IN the parlor. The Kryder
children were those Of Mrs. Hughes
oy a former marriage. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hughes left the children
playing thus practically every
night for few moments. and
nothing was ever thought of any
danger, as they always played to-
gether on the floor. On the fatal
night the three were playing hide
and seek, the baby hiding behind a
window curtain at one side of the
room, while George and Frances

window, where he was literally

burning oil being between Frances
and the baby she evidently tried to
reach him first. but being unable
to do that, she tried to throw the
burning lamp out of her way. Her
clothing was ignitcd. and she ran
screaming To the porch. where
