INFANT CHILDREN
PERISH In FIRE
Little Tots Had Crawled Under the Bed
to Escape the Smoke and Flames
of Burning Home.

Marshall, Tex.-One of the most aw
full accidents that has ever occurred
in the city of Marshall, occurred today
when the two infant children Of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Murphy were burned
to death when fire of unknown origin
destroyed the Murphy home. The par
ents had left the little ones at home
and had stepped over to the neighbors
and were totally unaware that the
house was in flames until their atten-
tion was called to it by the fire alarm.
The house was totally destroyed by the
fire despite heroic efforts of a rescue
party and the city fremen to put out
the confagration. Many unsuccessful
attempts were made to extricate the
children from the burning building but
each time the rescue party was driven
back by the terrific heat Of the flames.
The little tots had crawled under the
bed when the flames got too hot for
them and it was there that their char
red bodies were found. The two we're
lying side by side, snugel95 close up
to each other.

said he had heard nothing of it, but
that as yet Vaughn had not appeared
as he agreed to to have the cross
complaint drawn up.
The rumors Of reconciliation
emanated from Chicago and declared
that it had been brought about by
Mrs. Anna Davern of the juvenile
court and Attorney Leonora z. Meder,
friends Of Mrs Vaughn.
"Their boy, Little Hippo had much
to do with getting them together" said
Mrs. Davern. "He cried and said he
didn't want his mother to go away.
The child has been sick. Big jim his
wife and boy have been living under
the same roof, in their pretty bunga-
low, for three nights, but always there
has been a chaperone present. We
left them alone and happy in the love
they really bear each other" said

LEWIS, DECIDES
GIVE UP RIGHTS
Orlen A. Lewis Filed With
County Clerk Statement
ReIinquishing Rights.
BOARD IN QUANDARY

Orlen A. Lewis, who was chosen at
the election a week ago Tuesday to be
county surveyor Of Kenosha county for
the next two years and whose right to
hold the Office was under fire before
the county board on Tuesday, slamm ed
the door on the investigation into his
qualifications late Tuesday afternoon
when he walked into the Office of the
county clerk and filed formal relin-
quishment of any and all rights he
might have had under the official can
vass of the votes cast at the election.
In his formal announcement that he
was through with the fight, Mr.. Lewis
said:
Kenosha, Wis, Nov. 9, 1920
To the Kenosha Board of Supervisors
and whoever it may concern:
l herewith relinquish my rights to
the office of surveyor of Kenosha coun-
ty accorded me by the election of No
vember 2, 1920. Respectfully,
Orlen A. Lewis.
Brings New Complication.
The REIMBURSEMENT of the office
probably closes the incident of Mr.
Lewis participation as political
leader in Kenosha county for the pres
ent, but some of the members of the
county board We're considerably in
doubt as to just what would happen in
the future. The fact that Mr. Lewis
had relinquished his right does not
,,ooa.ror;I,- J;co,,oI;fxr HIM for A. oe
fee and it is not believed that he could
formally resign" from the Office until
after he had qualified and certificate
Of election had been issued to him.
The county canvassing board had re-
ferred the matter of, the certification
of election to the county board. In re-
linquishing his rights, Mr.. Lewis has
not made any admission that he was
not a resident of the county at the
time of his election, but he has admit
ted that he could not swear to the fact
that he had been continuously a resi-
dent Of the county for year before
the primary election.
Board Not After Lewis.
1t was shown clearly that the mem
bers Of the board were not "after Lew
is" and there was never any sugges-
tion Of the possibility of criminal
prosecution on account of the fact that
he had participated in the primary OF
the election with questionable resi-
denee. These men believe that Mr.
Lewis believes himself that his resi-
dence was established here before the
election was held.
The fact that Mr. Lewis was in a
business which caused him to go to
several parts Of the country during the
year and half preceding the election
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1920-11-11

may have given him the right to elect
a residence and Mr.. Lewis said that he
had elected Kenosha as his residence.
O'Brien May Get Office.
1t is not certain that the "relinquish-
ment of the rights" of Lewis opens the
way for the county canvassing board
to name William O'Brien, the Demo-
cratic candidate, as the surveyor. This
is matter for attorneys to decide, but
if they should decide that Lewis has
given up the Office and that O'Brien is
not entitled to it under the vote than
it would be matter for election by
the county board. It is probable that
at such an election Surveyor O'Brien
would be named to succeed himself.
