GENERAL PERSHING'S
WIFE AND CHILDREN
MEET DEATH IN FIRE
ONE son is SAVED - HOUSE Is
TOTALLY DESTROYED BY
FLAMES.

SAN FRANCISCO, Ag. 27.-Mrs,
John ]. Pershing, wife Of Brigader.
General Pershlng of the United
States army and her three daughters,
Helen, 8, Ann 6, and Margaret 3,
were burned to death early today
when fire destroyed their residence
at the Preside. Warren Pershing
3, was rescued by soldiers. General
Pershing is in command Of troops on
the Mexican border.
The residence was a wooden struc-
ture and was a mass OF flames before
being discovered, A general alarm
was responded to by all the troops OF
the post. but 1t was too late to more
than rescue the boy.
The bodies Of Mrs. Pershing and
her daughters we're found in a front
bedroom. So rapidly did the fire
sweep the building that the four vic
tins were killed as they slept. The
victims were not badly charred, how
ever Officers Of the post believe
they we're suffocated before the fire
reached the room.
Mrs. Pershing was a daughter Of
Senator Warrens Of Wyoming She
married Pershing' at Cheyenne in
1905.
The origin Of the fire probably will
never be known as the house was
completely destroyed. Major Whit
ney. the commanding officer of the
post. will order an investigation
