TRAGEDY IN SISTER COUNTY

On Tuesday of last week, Mrs. W.
r. Brooks, miles west and 21s miles
south of Haxtun started to light fire
in the kitchen stove with kerosens.
There was an explosion and the inter-
ior of the house became q furnace
The daughter Villa was reading at
table in the same room but near the
door. The boy Crystal was just out
side the door and when the explosion
occurred he grasped pail of water
and threw its contents on his sister.
He then helped her out of doors and
she ran around the house. The father
and older son were near and as soon
as they could reach her they tore the
burning clothes from her body and
did everything possible to extinguish
the fire that was burning its way to
her vital organs. The youngest boy
made an attempt to go to the rescue
of his mother but was prevented by
the others as he could not have lived
five seconds in the burning room. The
mother was burned beyond recogni-
ton. The daughter was brought to
the Haxtun hospital and died there
Thursday morning after suffering in
tense pain throughout the day previ-
Gus
The family had just returned from
Sterling and at Fleming had stopped
and purchased kerosene, so the faith
er thought, but now it is not known
whether it was kerosene or gasoline
1t is presumed that the force of the
explosion stunned the mother SO COM
pletely that her death was painless.
There was no board floor in the room
but sheet of linoleum had been laid
down in the temporary quarters and
this acted as a reservoir for the COM
bustible' and assisted in making the
fire intense. The family were hav-
ing new house built and were living
in a part of the granary till it could
be completed. The father and sons
are prostrated.
The funerals were private owing to
the conditions of, the remains. The
bereaved ones have the keen sympathy
of friends and neighbors and in fact

ESCAPED Italian
PRISONERS REACH
AMERICAN LINES
FugitiveS From Hun Camp
Make Way Through German
and Yank Fire After Tunnel
ing Under Prison Wall.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. "a.
tBy the Associated Press. 1.-TWO ItaI-
ian soldiers who escaped from a Ger
man prison camp, reached the American
lines after having been under she'll fire
for three days and nights. They passed
through the fire Of both the American
and German guns as they came south
ward. The Italians had had nothing to
eat but raw potatoes for five days.
The soldiers escaped from the build
ing where they slept by digging a tun-
mel under the wall. They worked on
the tunnel for a week IN the hours in
which they were supposed to sleep.
There we're four in the party which es-
capped from the camp but only two
have reached the American lines.
The Italians were captured near
Rheims on July Is. and since then
have been working behind the lines.
One Of the two men speaks English
and spent 10 years In the United
States.
The food provided to their prisoners
by the Germans, he says, Is scanty.
The Italian was struck with a club for
not working harder when he was almost
exhausted from lack of sufficient food.
He said he had seen a number Of other
Italians beaten with clubs and struck
with rifle butts by German soldiers.
When they escaped from the prison
camp they had neither food nor COM
pass and steered their course by the
flashes Of the guns During the first
two days they dug potatoes but had no
food after that until they came into
the American lines. Both the Italians
had made previous attempts to escape,
and as a result they were confined for
IL days on a diet OF bread and water.
The escaped prisoners said that the
hest sight they ever saw vas the smil-
ing Yankee machine gunner who gave
than, whita hread After heIny takan
to headquarters the Italians had more
bread and meat and sugar. They also
had cigarettes for their first smoke
since they were captured.

GLASS IN FOOD

The frequent and widespread pub
licatIon of statements concerning the
presence of ground glass in foOdstuffs
has led the Committee on Public Infor-
nation to inquire into the authenticity
of these reports. 1t has been advised
by the Food Administration that thor
ough Investigations Of more than 200
of the cases has disclosed only one in
stance in which ground glass was
found in the foodstuffs inspected.
The case in which glass was found
occurred at Fort Smith, Arkansas. A
baker in that town had had trouble
with his employees, one of whom, desir-
ing to destroy his employers business,
had filled with glass a loaf of bread
which was to be delivered to an or
phanage When the bread was served
to the inmates of the institution sew
eral Of them suffered decorations of
their lips. No more serious injuries
resulted.
