l"lOLOCAUST_

BRINGS SADNESS

_'Toys Father and Mother whose Almost Entire

Family Perish in the FIames-The Wife , ' is in a Serious Condition as the Result

of a Dread Fatality.

Sr. Arms D_n L/I Pooaoi-ziui, April 18.--

(Speolal).-A terrible holocaust occurred here during t-he night by which seven children lost their lives and their mother is in serious danger.

Charles Boucher, a prosperous farmer

of the -third range retired to rest Inst night at his home where he lived with his wife and eight children.

Miss Marie Levesque, school teacher

also boards with the Boucher family.

About midnight Boucher was awaken-

ed by his children who seemed to be very much afraid.

lie arose quickly ami on leaving his

room found that the house was on fire and that he was cut ofl' from that portion where the children were sleeping bya wail of flames.

He shouted to awaken other members

of the household and his wife stricken

with terror at the sight- of the flames rushed from the house. '

Mntcrniil instinct, however, proved

stronger than fear and sho tried to reach her llttleones. Iler attempt; proved fruit- less and shd had her hnir entirely slnged.

The husband and father had after wak-

ing up the other members ofthe household run for help.

\Vhen he returned it \vus too late to

lend any aid to the children.

The eldest daughter Anna. Boucher who

was eighteen yearslof 'age might have secured her own safety but sliesuccumbcil in her effort to-bring her younger brothers and sisters to '

Father and niot-her as, well its the school

teacher and ,a two-year-old boy who had

been asleep in a room with lilspmcnts were the only inmates of the house who

escaped l.lio_ll_rtiiics.
