FEAR FOUL PLAY in
new SALEM CASE

New Salem Journal; The Emil
John home, located on farm about
five miles northeast OF New Salem.
was burned to the ground last evening
between and 9 o'clock, and the 10
year-old son, Richard John, was burn
ed to death IN the fire.
The son, Richard, was home alone
at the time of the fire and there seems
to be no way OF telling Just how the
fire started or how the boy came to
meet death in this horrible manner,
and under such unaceountable cir
cumstances. The team was put In
the barn, not embarrassed. 1t is said
that he intended to return to town
that night and attend a dance The
fire was first noticed by Emil Wade
and William John, near neighbors,
and they rushed to the farm, arriving
before IL started to flame but the
house was so full of smoke that they
were unable to get into IT. and in a
few minutes 1t was a mass Of flames.
Charles F. kellogg was out auto driv-
ing In that direction and noticing the
fire rushed out there as fast as pos
sibles but 1t was q mass of flames
when he reached there. AS soon as
the frame of the house was burned
down an effort was made to remove
the body as it lay In q room near
the coal bin. where there was a terri
bly, hot IRE, and Charles f. kellogg
and others were able to make up a
contrivance and remove Ii from the
hot Goals. He lay face down In about
the middle Of the room, half way
between the door and the bed, as II
he had been asleep on the bed and
made an effort to get out and became
suffocated from the dense heavy
smoke that had formed In the house
while he was asleep. The body was
terribly burned, the limbs and back
cf the head being entirely gone.
It will never be known why the boy
went home before the show and lost
his life as he did, but it Is the general
opinion that he was not feeling well
