tenberg, who resided in Todd county
about seven miles from this place,
lost his house and all it's contents by
fire. Mr.. Altenberg was away at the
time, and there was no one on the

small children. Mrs. A. was at the
barn a short distance from the house,
when she discovered the fire and when
she got into the house she found it
enveloped in flames and the children
crouched down in corner, the clothes
Of some of them on fire. She was only
able to remove her little ones without
saving a single article of clothing or
furniture, leaving the family with lit
orally nothing. Some of the children
were severely though not dangerously
burned. The family were brought to
Sank Centre last week, and provided
by our good people with small house,
food, fuel and clothing sufficient to
make them comfortable. This same
family burned out at this place about
two years ago.
