Special TO The World.
SHAMROCK. Okla, Dec. s.--Two
children. a boy months old. and a
girl years old. were burned to death
here early today when the home of
Harry Fisk was destroyed by fire.
Fisk's wife was probably fatally
burned.
The Fisk home was located at the
rear of a business building. Fisk,
who is superintendent Of the light and
power house here, was out of the
city when the fire was discovered
Mrs. Fisk was found lying across
the sill OF a window. 1t is believed
she struggled to rescue her children,
but was overcome before she could
get out of the house.
The fire was caused by an overhead
ed gas stove and broke out at 4
o'clock this morning. Mrs. Fisk and
the two children were asleep when
the blaze started and they were near
ly overcome before they were aroused.
BY the time that Mrs. Fisk was awake
to the situation the fire cut off escape
thru tho door Of the room and she
was Just able TO reach the window
before she was overcome.
The house was all ablaze before the
alarm was turned in and within TWEEN
ty minutes the tragedy was enacted
and the charred building and bodies
remained as evidence of the havoc
wrought by the fire. The house was
located near the rear end OF a furni-
ture store and the blaze readily spread
to the adjoining building. Greater
damage was prevented by citizens
who formed a bucket brigade and
with the local fire department ex-
tinguished the blaze.
