CENTER LINCOLNVILLE.

One of the saddest tragedies ever known
here was the fire Saturday, June 9Th, at y
a. m. which destroyed the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. Carl Mathews. 1t was a new
BUNGALOW having been built nearly two
wears and which had been newly painted
inside and out. The cause of the tire is
supposed to have been an overheated
chimney, Mrs. Mathews went to call
her husband, as he was working at
neighbors not far from their home, and
on their return the house was IN flames.
The little four-year-old daughter seeing
the flames took her little sister, aged two,
by the hand and led her from the house,
while the little eight-months-old baby,
Ora Howe, lay on the bed as the mother
had left her. Their deepest sorrow is in
her loss. The father made heroic efforts
to save her. First going through the
burning door, he rushed to the cradle and
brought it out, the scene was most pa
thetic when he found it was empty. The
mother cried that she was on the bed and
he then broke through a window but to
no avail, only coming forth with cut and
burning hands. Many came to the rescue,
but were powerless to help, Everything
was lost except the clothes which they
wore, The remains of the baby was
found and taken to the village where
PRAYER service was held; Mrs. Bessie
Wentworth speaking words of comfort.
The sympathy of all is extended the be-
reaved parents in their great sorrow.
