and burned within.
One report Is to the effect that tht
woman of the house or some childrsr
must have poured kerosene on tn,
coal In the stove in order to hurry
along the fire, and that in doing SC
there was an explosion.
Is 10 very strange that such a thins
as the perishing of five people in sucf
a small shack should be possible il
such short time. as it was scarcely
five feet from the stove to the dool
or window, and the interior of the
shack shows very little signs of mucf
fire inside.
All the victims when discovered
were dressed. with the exception ol
two little girls who were minus theil
shoes and stockings.
The victims presented a most re.
pulsive sight when removed to thu
undertaking parlors, where the bod.
les are now lying ready for burial
the hands and faces of each being
burned and blistered out of all rec.
ognition. and few of even the sternel
sex could bear the sight.
Inquest Opened.
The inquest into the affair was be-
gun this afternoon before Coroner
Isbister. Fire Chief Heath told o.

all with the exception of Alex Reid
being dead at the time of discovery
The firemen told of their part in the
rescue and each one corroborated the

of William Delaney and a man giving
the name of Ludwig is looked upon
by the officials of Ward county as
the initial step in the breaking up of
a small gang of horse thieves that

men are charged with being implicat-

Suspicion o. Foul Play
In Saskatoon. TRAGEDY
MEDICAL EXAMINATION DETERMINE THE
-BELlEF REID ACTED A

Saskatoon, Jan. 17.-Events in con-
nection with the fatal fire, in which
Mrs. Henderson, her two children and
two children belonging to Alex Reid,
a neighbor, lost their lives, are trans
piring thick and fast, and sensational
rumors are afloat in connection with
the affair which may or may not be
substantiated by the post mortem ex-
animation upon the bodies which is
now being conducted.
Foul Play Suspected.
From the nature of the proceedings
it is quite apparent that foul play of
some kind is suspected, though what
ground there is for such an assump-
tion is shown solely by the fact that
medical examination Of the bodies
has been ordered, course which Is
most unusual where death results
presumably from burns or suff0cation.
The fact that the evidence. at the
inquest yesterday was most conflict
ing, however, made an examination
almost imperative. though It 10 just
possible that when it is made 1t will
be shown that there were no grounds
for the same, and that death was
caused wholly from fire or suffocation.
Medical men are busy on the bodies
at the present time, but the inquest
will not be resumed until three o'clock
this afternoon.
Alex Reid IL Dead.
The sixth victim of the terrible af-
fair passed away this morning when
Alex. Reid. the man who risked his
own life for those of his children and
neighbor's, passed away about s
o'clock at the city hospital. Reid's
death has caused genuine regret. for
it was fslt on all sides that his self
sacrificing attempts to save the others
stamped him as hero. Reid was taxi
en- to the hospital about II o'clock
yesterday morning, in an uncon-
scious condition, but regained his
senses for some time, during which
time he made a gallant fight for his
life. Yesterday afternoon he again
sank into a stupor and remained that
way until life took flight this morn
ing.
Must Have Been Explosion.
From stories told by Henderson
and others who were on the spot soon
after the fire started, IL would seem
that there must have been u terrific
explosion inside the little shack to
have wrought such deadly havoc in
