When the mother returned she was unaware of any fire until she opened the front door, when. flames leaped out upon her. She rushed inside, calling, "Danny, Danny!' but no answer came and the flames drove the terror-strick. en mother out the door, her face being slightly burned. John McClean, Lloyd Fox, James Brown, neighbors, made heroic ef- forts to rescue the unfortunate children, McClean smashed the win- dow mear the bed, where the chil- dren were thought to be, but the flames leaped out through the win- dow and forced him to retreat. Fox made frantic efforts to enter the house from the opposite side, but the interior was a seething mass of flames. The house was totally de- stroyed, The flames leaping high and lighting up the village.
