CHILDREN LOST IN
FIRE FOUND SAFE
(Coutipued From First Page)

from the nearest fire hydrant that
tiremen were powerless to combat
the flames All the available hose in
he town were used, but there was
not enough to reach the burning
structure.
BY peculiar stroke of fate a
large pond, known both as Garvin's
rcnd and the The Old Mill Pond"
stands within 100 feet OF the house
but there was no fire pumper and
before bucket brigade could be Or
ganized the house was destroyed
Nothing was left but the chimney
and the foundation walls. No fur
Eiture was saved and SO complete
was the destruction that there was
nothing worth salvaging afterwards.
Two kitchen ranges lying in the
debris in the cellar and few twist
ed rods, which one time formed
parts of metal beds, are the only
things left to attest to the fact that
the ruins represent former human
habtation.
The fire was spectacular. Blazing
embers were carried for hundreds
OF feet in all directions. The flames
spread to a hedge surrounding the
front dooryard and followed clear
around the hedge leaving a charred
mass of what was once foliage.
The hose truck on the way to the
fire sank to the hubs in the mud
soaked ruts and holes in the street,
and firemen were unable to extri-
cate it until another truck backed
in and towed it out after 4 a. m.
To add to the excitement. some
Of the neighboring women announc-
ed that two of the Lucowicz children
were missing and probably were
burned. A search was made but no
one had seen them. All day yes
terday firemen and volunteer help
ers kept up the search. pouring
buckets of water upon the ruins to
cool them and digging around in the
debris looking for the children's re-
mains.
Sunday night it was discovered
that the father and his wife, who is
i'll, were at Northampton, Mass.
while the two children who were
thought to have been burned, were
with relative in Hartford.
There was some live stock on the
LucowicZ property. two pigs, sew
eral geese and chickens and large
dog. The dog was not noticed dur
ing the fire but was found chained
to a kennel in the yard this morn
ing. The livestock was unframed.
Constables Walsh and r. V. Hal
loren Investigated the origin of the
fire today. Mr.. Walsh stated that
be had attempted to interview Mr..
Lucowicz last night but without
much success. The house and fur
niture were covered by $1,000 in
surance. The house undoubtedly
; was set on fire by someone, an in
surance man stated this morning,
after viewing the ruins.

the next morning because night

unknown. Chamberlin laughed and
said that he would get to his des-

heads at each other when Ream point

Ream during his testimony, but car
ried on a lively conversation with
their attorneys.
The two, in their first appearance
together in more than two years, said
they had "enjoyed the little vacation
