dren TO bed their parents went out.
to find on their return that the house
was full OF smoke. The father rushed
upstairs TO save his children but was
overcome by the smoke.
An unemployed laborer living next
door, named Ernest Quinton. heard
the parents screams and FASTENED to
thatr assistance. He put towel over
his mouth and went up stairs TO the
first floor bedroom. He found the win
dow and opened It; then. gropins

This one was also dead. He went up a
third time and entered bedroom on
the second floor. where he discovered
the third child, who also proved TO
be beyond all aid.
Quinton had raken lamp on his
first journey. but the smoke was 80
dense that 1t was extinguished. and
he brought all the children away by
cropping about on his hands and knees
on the floor In the darkness and chok-
ing smoke.
