o'clock Monday afternoon. Mrs Dare had
put her two small children to bed early in
Che afternoon, and had gone to the home of
a neighbor on an errand. In few mo-
ments she saw smoke coming from win
dow of her home and just reached it as the
children ran from the house. Harry, the
Oldest child, boy Of FIVE, was completely
enveloped in flames, and before they could
be extingnished he was SO badly burned
that his recovery is thought to be doubtful.
The younger child escaped uninjured. The
firemen responded promptly, but the FIRE
had made such Roadway before it was dis
covered, shat little could be done, and the
interior was completely destroyed. The
child is thought to have been playing with
matches, which set the bed clothing afre,
and in It's fright was unable to give an
alarm. Something short Of miracle saved
ST. Bridget's Roman Catholic Church, which
stands next TO the house.
