He then went back for the baby who
was about one year old, and
when he got inside he found that the
two older children had followed him.
He again grabbed the two children and
this time placed them outside of the
gate.
Mr.. McKinstry then returned for the.
child. but found he could not enter the
burning building. He thinks the child
had already suffocated as he could
hear no sound except the fire. Mean
time someone had turned in an alarm
and the fire department responded and
used the chemical engine, but the
house was practically burned down.

originated from the explosion of the
lamp or that it was turned over. 1t

lis said to have had no chimney.
Coroner David Farley held an in
quest and found the facts to be about
as here given.
The house that was burned was in
sured. but not for enough to fully
cover the loss
