Homedale lspecial)- COST tnt
lives OF three children here at an early
hour Monday morning and mother
love. expressing itself in a futile at
tempt to save the kiddies from the
flames will probably add Mrs. Donate
Uberuaga to the victims. Mrs. Uber-
uaga is at present at the Caldwell
Sanatarium under the care OF DR.. F.
NJ. Cole. She is burned badly from
head to foot and Monday hopes for
her recovery were small.
Details OF the cause of the fire are
meagre. Mrs. Uberuaga, in the absence
of her husband who is enroute home
from Cascade in Long Valley with a
span OF mules, had evidently arisen
aboys 4 O'Clock Monday morning.
built a fire in the cook stove in one
of two adjourning tents occupied by
the family. and went out to milk a
COW in a small corral near the tent
house.
investigation Monday fairly well
established this theory because of the
double fact that water for the Monday
wash was present in tub and that
milk in a pail and an unfinished COW
indicate Mrs. Uberauga was engaged
in milking the COW when the tents
caught fire. Wash day is regarded as
a logical explanation for the early
hour OF rising Mrs. Uberuaga, who
is Spanish. was unable Monday be-
cause of her inability to speak Eng
lish and her critical condition, to
throw additional light on the tragedy.
Screams from the half crazed wo-
man who evidently discovered the
house to be on fire to late to rescue
her children gave neighbors the first
imtimation that something was wrong.
The cries ceased. however. and it was
few minutes before they were re-
sumed and neighbors could locate the
fire.
Mrs. Uberuaga's clothes were al
most entirely burned from her body
In the fruitless effort to save her
children. All three of the tots, the
Oldest only five years OF age. were
sleeping in one bed and of the three,
only the five year old child apparent
ly made an effort to escape. This
little girl evidently was awakened by
the flames and in trying to escape
only managed to get off the bed.
Beneath the timber floor of the
rear tent used as a bedroom was an
excavation, supposedly used fora
cellar or small summer storage quart
ers. The eldest child's body broke
through the floor when the latter
burned away and was found Monday |
at the bottom of this pit. The other
two children. both girls aged one and
three years. were burned to death in
the bed upon which the were sleep
ing.
Fire is believed to have started |
rom the cook stove near the front |
Of the tent and close to the only en-
trance to the double tent home. Mrs.
Oberuaga had evidently bull, the fire |
and then gone to the corral to milk |
The COW. Just what caused the tents
10 ignite will probably never be
known.
