BURNING HOUSE TAKES LIVES OF THREE SMALL CHILDREN
Fire, thought to have been caused by a defective stove pipe, completely destroyed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Miller and caused the deaths of their three small children, Jackolee, 3, Violet Lou, 2, and Pearl, 16 months, Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock.
The house, which was completely enveloped in flames by the time the fire department arrived, was located south of Thirteenth street, between Second and Third avenues east, outside of the city limits.
Mrs. Miller stated she had left the children apparently asleep and had gone to visit a near neighbor, when the fire, which was noticed by other neighbors, occurred.
The fire had gained such headway by the time the department arrived that entrance into the small building was impossible. Mrs. Miller reported to officers that although the stove pipe was defective and had come apart at times, there was only a small fire in the heater when she left home.
Her husband, who is employed at Olney was away at the time of the tragedy and a member of the sheriff's force went to notify him of the fire and death of his children.
Mrs. Miller collapsed when told of the death of the children, and is under a doctor's care.
Coroner Harry Campbell, Fire Chief Paul Casey, and State Fire Warden J. W. Carney are making an investigation of the fire.
