Children Light Candle to

Home Is Burned
WHOLE FAMILY Is
LOST I'M FLAMES
Three Boarders Perish with
DeGerbo, His Wife and
Three Children.

NEW CASTLE; Penn, Dec "a
Eight persons lost their lives early to-
day in a fire destroying the home of
Guitena De Gerbo at Hissdale, nine
Gerbo, his wife, three children and
three men boarders.
The desire of the De Gerbo children
to see the Christmas tree that had
been prepared for them in the front
room of their little home is believed
to have been responsible for the fire.
Last evening the children were sent
to bed so their parents might pre-
pare the tree to make their Christmas
happier. After the tree was trimmed
DeGerbo called in several neighbors
to view it. The little ones were told
the room was being prepared for Santa
Claus visit and that they could not
enter it until Christmas morning. Late
last night the neighbors who visited
the DeGerbo home saw lights burning
in the Christmas tree room. Now it is
thought the children unable to restrain
their patience, slipped in to see the
tree after their parents had retired
and lighted one of the candles which
decorated it. The candle, the neigh
bors believe, burned down during the
iobf nd CT ri fpH
