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 new being broken as
gently as possible. 1t is feared that the
shock of the death OF his wife and babies
may hinder his recovery.

Waterman 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.
Finally Hagen became unconscious from
the smoke and was rescued by the fire.

some delay in reaching the place because

double back to the burning building. Fire

they rescued Kruger and his son Ed

the door.
1T would have been impossible for the
department to rescue the mother and
children" said Chief Clancy. 81 think
