DIES WHILE RES
CU|NC HER PUPILS
Wyoming Rural Teacher Succumbs
To Burns.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 21.-Bertha
Rheinhart, school teacher, died
yesterday from burns received in res
cuing her pupils from a prairie fire.
Miss Rheinhart taught a country
school near Horse Creek. Thursday
a cloud of smoke, pierced with
tongues of flame, heralded the ap-
proach Of the fire. The teacher real
lied that the blaze, driven by a high
wind, was rushing straight for the
school house.
Sending the children to a rocky
hill nearby. Miss Rheinhart went out
to fight the flames in frontier fashion
by burning off strip of prairie in
front of the main fire. She succeed
ed thus in diverting the blaze from
the school house. In the meantime,
however, several of the children had
left the hill and run out into the
path of the fire. While running to
rescue them Miss Rheinhart was
caught and received burns which
caused her death. The fire then
swerved from it's course just in time
to spare the children.
