Mother and Four Small
Children Perish In Fire
Small Home in Outskirts Of Clo-
quet, Scene of Tragedy-Bod-
les Found Near Door

/ Cloquet, Jan. 17-Within few
feet of the door which led to open
air and life, Mrs. Solem and three
of her four children were overcome
by smoke and gas and were burn
ed to death in their little home on
the outskirts of the city this morn
/ ing. The fourth, babe of three,
died in her bed in which she was
peacefully sleeping when the
flames swept through the three
room house.
The dead:
Mrs. Chris Solem, 27; Albert
Solem, Z; Clarence Solem, 6; Car
oil Solem, 4 and Betty Solem, 8.
The fire wiped out the entire
family with the exception of the
husband and father, an employee
of the C. and w. Refrigerator COM

company.

She was partly dressed as were the

of the fire in the absence of a
living witness may never be fully
known.
The fire department summoned
by a call from a neighbours boy
who discovered smoke coming from
the place, arrived at the three room
cottage on the Upper Scanlon
road, nearly half a mile from the
city limits TO find the nearest fire

made rescue impossible.

make the advice hypocritical. Here
