Two Children ot Fred Bolleger Are
toasted Alive.
Spokane Review,
1 lame and smoke nave sent two
young seals into eternity.
About 10 o'clock last night an
alarm of fire was sounded from
Shantytown and a moment latei the
sky was illuminated with lurid
light. The firemen were out
promptly, but when thev discover
ed that the fire was in Shantytown
they bad about concluded not to gc
on account of there being no water
in that district. When Chief
Witherspoon arrived at tbe engine-
bouse he ordered No. 1 hose com
pany to proceed to the fire, which
it did. The ping at tbe corner ol
.Bernard and Third streets was
found frozen and it was fully
twenty minutes before a stream
could begotten on tbe flames.
The burnt house was owned and
occupied by Fred Bolleger. It
was a one story, plain board shanty
containing three rooms.
Bolleger had left the house some
time before the fire and gone to a
neighboring stcre. Shortly after
ward Mrs. Bolleger went to find
him. While she was absent the
fire broke out and the hcuse was a
mass of flames before they could
reach it. Their children, named
Charles and Josephine, aged 3
years and 18 months, respectively,
were burned to death.
"I saw the flames on the roof,"
said Mrs. Noble, who lives across
the way from the Bolleger house,
"and ran over to see if I could be
of any help. I opened the door,
but could not go in the bouse as it
was full of smoke. I called and
my heart sunk within une when I
heard the awtui screams of the
help'ess little oaes.
"The draught through the open
door caused the Hums to break out
all over he house, it seemed to
me. The Bollegcrs came running
from the store aod the vocr father
made a frantic effort to save his
children, but could not gut into
the house for the heat and smoke.
"He acted like a wild man in li s
grief and threw himself in trie
snow and sobbed and moaned.
Mrs. Bolleger seemed to have more
control over herself, but cried
hysterically. Everything the poor
people had their home their chil
dren all burned."
When the hosts cart reached the
scene tbe roof bad fallen and was
burning fiercely in the mass of
ruins. A great crowd had gath
ered and 6tood abcat ihe fire tnl k
ing excitedly abcut tbe frightful
death ot the innocents.
When a stream of water had
finally come it was ji'ayed on the
s not where the children 'fere suo
posed to be and the fire w;is quick
y extinguished.
In the DO'theast corner of the
house npoa the burnt maurcss.
'imid the ruins of tne desolated
home lay tin? Indy ol the !i:tle b'y
and close to his side were the
charred remains of the little sister.
Tbe bodies lay in a cramped
pcsitiou giving aa idea ot the
trightfui writhing, and agony sut
fered before death was extinc .
Part of the little boy's head was
burned off exosing the brain as it
lay cooked in tbe lower part of
tbe skull.
The sight was sickening, and
the smell of burnt flesh dreadful,
aad many turned away in horror
from the heartrending spectacle.
Later the coroner arrived and
ordered tbe bodies to be removed
to the morgue. Kind neigh Dors
took tbe homeless parents in and
cared for them.
The cause of tbe fire is a mystery
some of the neighbors contending
that it was occasioned from the
explosion of a lamp, which Mrs.
Bolleger says she lighted oa the
kitchen table. The theory of Mrs.
Noble, wbo was te first on the
ground, is that the fire originated
from the stovepipe, which ran
through the ceiling and roof. The
idea seen'.s to be borne oat by the
fact that tbe fire burned the roof
off first.

A muider is reported to have
been committed some way ou
W'ynaeJ, in which a monkev detec
ted the murderers. It appears that
a iuggler with his wife, a goat and
two monkeys were attacked by two
Moplahs, who killed all except the
male monkey, who escaped, and
buried the bodies in the jungle.
The male monkey took its station
upon a big tree, watched every
thing and when a constable passed
by the animal made after him, laid
bold on the man's leg and dragged
him to the place where tbe bodies
were buried. The bodies were ex
humed, after which the monkey
showed the way to a but which tbe
murderers had entered. Not find
ing them, the animal took the con
stable in another direction and sud
denly ran at full speed and seized a
Moulin, who was going to bathe,
near a tank, by the neck and wait
ed till the constable arrived. This
led to the detection of the murder
ers, wbo have been brought to Cal
