Four Carter farm children are dead

open a window and threw the other
children out Of the room into the snow,
and then went around TO n door 70

snow and ~extinguished the flames.
The family, most of them in terrible
agony from burns. walked a quarter OF
a mile to a school, where a Miss wei

teacher then walked three miles to n
home of the Lagbaugh family, freezing
cured and taken to the home Of Ralph

home at the time of the tragedy. He
was working on a bridge building job

all the while unaware of the death OF
the four children and the serious con-
dition of the other members OF his
