It se( ms that Mr. C. M. Ilatley,
better known, perhaps, as "Clem"
Ilatley, was at work at the time in

children both boys, one a baby
and the other about four years old
in charge of the housekeeper, a
Mrs. Smith, an aged woman who
has been with the family nearly

The house caught fire in some
manner, and, according to tho state

the children alone in the house.
When Mr. Ilatley reached his

with the baby, and they perished.
Judging from the position of the
body when found, the little fellow,

mass of flames, crawded beneath a
bed as a means of safety, while the
