sumed Edward Ives house, two miles
from Ralfour, at l p. m. Saturday and
burned to death two babes, one two

ana COWS were making for them. Mrs.
Ives too the children to a window
and told them to stay there and watch
her drive the COWS away. 1t was while

out.
A passing farmer saw the blaze and
pulled the elder child out Of the win
dow. but not until its clothing was
nearly burned off.
It's condition was such that the
youngest babe was not thought of.
The wind was blowing a gale. A Rus
sian labOrer was watering stock at
the barn near the house and did not
G the fire until the house was en-
veloped in flames. He then ran about
crying over the loss of a shotgun
which was in the building.
Mr.. Ives was formerly foreman of
one Of tie big valley farms near Far
go. His family consisted Of his wife
and five children. three OF whom were
at school at the time Of the fire.
