MOTHER, TWO SONS
BURNED TO DEATH
IN MONDAY BLAZE
Mrs. F. Nj. StrOnach and Sons,
George and Gordon, Die in
Flaming House
BROTHER DIES TUESDAY
Tragedy at Delhi Is the Worst
in Redwood County in
Recent Years

Probably the greatest tragedy in
recent years in the history of Red
wood county occurred early last Mon
day morning when four people lost
their lives in fire at the Francis
Stronach farm, about one mile south
of Delhi. The dead are Mrs. Francis
Stronach, her two sons, George, IL,
and Gordon, 10 and William Stron-
ach, a brother of Francis. The
mother and two sons were burned to.
death at the fire and William receiv-
ed severe burns and died at the Red
wood Falls hospital early Tuesday
morning.
The fire was discovered by Mr..
Stronach at about 800 a. M, Monday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stronach and the
youngest child, Marjory Ann, aged 3,
were in bed in a sleeping room on
the first floor of the home when the
blaze was first noticed. The fire was
apparently confined to the kitchen in
wood box and the wall above the
box.
Upon discovery of the fire Mr.. and
Mrs. Stronach wrapped the youngest
child, with whom they were sleeping,
in blanket and took it outside.
From there they both rushed in to
awaken and try to save the others in
the upper part of the flaming house.
Mr.. Stronach never saw his wife
after they both went in the house.
He was unable to reach the two old
er children, George and Gordon, who
were burned to death in their bed.
/ Upon being driven back to the first
floor by the flames, Mr.. Stronach
stumbled over the bodies of his broth
er, William, and son, Calvin, age six.
He smashed window and threw the
bodies out and made his escape
throl IN the same window.
WiIliam evidently awakened by
the smoke, arose and grabbed young
Calvin and started down the stairs
where they were both overcome by
smoke before being discovered " Mr..
Stronach.
After seeing that there was no
chance to save the others in the burn
ing house, Mr.. Stronach placed the
two children who had been saved, and
his brother in his auto and took. them
to his neighbor, Mr.. Neil McKay's,
where they were all taken to the
Redwood Falls hospital.

LOCALS TO BATTLE
RANGE CHAMPIONS
IN INITIAL CONTEST
Powerful Range Team to Meet
Redwood Falls High Quint
at Tournament
TEAM LEAVES TO-DAY
Many Redwood Fans to Attend
Opening Contest at Field
House Thursday p. NJ.

Redwood Falls high school basket
ball team, entrant from Region and
one of the eight teams competing for
the state championship, will meet
meet Chisholm tomorrow afternoon
at four o'clock at the University
Fieldhouse in the second game of the
tournament. Moorhead and Wells
will clash at three o'clock in the
opener while the evenings schedule
will bring Red Wing and Appleton
together with Columbia Heights and
Mechanic Arts playing. the night-cap.
The 1880 edition of the Red and
White will be the first basketball
team to appear in state high school
basketball tournament and, while not
ranked as a favorite, is a club that
must be reckOned with before award
ing any championship consideration.
Coach Stockton has guided his charg-
es through the season without de-
feat in the district in either the re-
gular schedule or the district tourna-
ment in addition to defeating two
other tournament winners in the re-
gional. Two games have been lost
during the season, both of these go
ing to Willmar by identical scores,
2O-19. While Willmar was not vic
torious in it's region, Columbia
Heights, the winner, was forced to
the limit to win by two points.
Stockton will likely select his
starters from Ward Cuff, Don Laid
law, Gordon Bravinder, Gil Johnson,
Tom Finn and Tom Arnett with
Wyman Corbett and Johnny Finn
ready to go at any time. These six
men give Stockton variety of often
sive men with defense that should
measure with the best of them.
Chisholm, Redwood's first day OPP
pcnent, comes to the tourney with an
impressive record and has been tout
ed by Twin City sports writers as
being one of the favorites along with
Red Wing and Moorhead, the latter
being the defending champion. The
Range has not been represented by a
strong contender during the past few
years and this years aggregation is
receiving unusual publicity as a title
possibility. Stockton's squad offers a
direct contrast in the amount of pub
licity and consideration received in as
much as his team has been going
quitely on it way bowling over all
opposition and gradually approaching
a stage of development which Region
6 fans believe might give it dark

Shooting Pheasant is
Costly to Echo Hunter

Someone mentioned some time ago
that shooting pheasants out of sea-

Mr.. Iverson was arrested by Game
Warden J. Albert Johnson yesterday
and taken before Judge J. I. Gill of
Echo, where he received fine of
$4,000 and $3.50 costs, besides having
his gun confiscated, for shooting one
