Children Left in Trevor.
The extent Of the tragedy was prob
ably diminished by the fact that three
children who-had been members of the
birthday party were left at Trevor to
! spend few days with friends there
before returning to Chicago. Two of
these would have been in the death car
hi / they also returned to Chicago and
possibly the death toll would have been
more than it was. The children were
Bernice Maus, aged ID, and Herman
Maus, aged II, children of the victim
of the accident, and Catherine Lauer,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Lauer.
The Maus children were brought to
Kenosha this morning and told of the
death of their mother. The remains of
