In desperate struggle against over

for fresh air and life for her three little
children and herself early Sunday morn
ing III a fire at her home, until exhausted
and blinded, she sank to the floor and
sutfocated with her children lying dead
around her

scious condition by Assistant Chief
Michael Harden and John Herbst watch
man at the Phster x NogcI tunnery, and
now are at the Emergency hospital.
Father Frustrated by Grief.
The death of every member of his
family except himself and his son was
made known to Kruger at the hospital
on Sunday, the news being broken as
gently as possible. 1t is feared that the
shock of the death Of his wife and babies
may hinder his recovery.
The tWo-st0ry frame building was seen
to be on fire at 2:3O Sunday morning by
W atchman Herman Hagen of the neigh
boring tannery. He sent in an alarm and
battered down the doors to save the fam
lily. Time and again he tried to gain the
upper floors to reach the sleeping woman
and her babies, but each time the thick
smoke from burning tar kept him back
tInatly Hagen became unconscious from
the smoke and was rescued by the fire
men.
The department answered the call after
some delay in reaching the place because
OF its lnaccessibility. 1t was necessary
to proceed to Grand avenue and Thr-
teenth street, cross the bridge and then
double back to the burning building. Fire
boat No. % also answered the alarm.
Find Two Close Together.
Assistant Chief Harden and Chief
Clancy had charge of the apparatus.
Harden rushed into the building accom-
panied by John Herbst Waterman, and
they rescued Kruger and his son Ed
ward. They were lying close together
evidently overcome ii an effort to reach
the door
1t would have been impossible for the
department to rescue the mother and
children" said Chief Clancy Il think
they were dead before we arrived. for
the smoke and gas were awful at first
The woman was unable even to reach
two windows a short distance from her
bed where she might have reached an ex-
tension roof. No human beeing could
live in such smoke"
