THREE CHILDREN DIE
In Fire Which Destroys Home OF
Michael Carney at The Kinsey
Ranch 6 Miles East of Ekalaka.

One of the saddest and most
shocking accidents that has oc.
Cured in this vicinity for many
years happened Tuesday af.
ternoon about two O'Clock at the
}. u. Kinsey ranch, six miles
east OF town, when the log house
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. M.
Carney, near the Kinsey house,
caught fire and burned to the
ground, and the three little chill
dren Of the couple persisted in
the flames. The fire was first
noticed by Mrs Carney, who ca
me out of the Kinsey residence
and saw the smoke coming
through the roof. J. D. Kinsey,
who has; s;been seriously i'll for Sc
veral days, jumped up from his
sick bed and made his way to the
burning structure, carrying pail
OF water. When he found that
the fire could not be stopped, he
entered the building and ATTEMPT
ed to find the little ones. He
got as far as the bed, where he
supposed they had been playing,
but could not find them there.
He was driven out by the heat
and smoke. DeLoss Hall had in
the meantime arrived from the
Hall & Snow mill, and he also
attempted to find the children,
but was unsuccessful, or account
of the heat and smoke. Both
men were slightly burned. Moth
ing could be done to stop the pro-
gress of the flames, and the
house burnt completely down.
1t is supposed that the oldest
child. who was four years old,
put more wood in the stove after
his mother left who had gone to
the kinsey home for a few mo-
ments, and that the over-heated
s1ove pipe started the fire. At
the time Of the accident Mr.. Car
ney was in Ekalaka having re-
turned with DR.. Colvin who had

ter Of activities during the CON-

was decided to proceed with the
work of improving the race

training can begin. Enough ad-
ditional stock will be sold to in

race meetings in the future as
they have been in the past.
