After Mr. Zidirieh had gone to work
his wife took the co;il basket and went
out on the railroad tracks, to pick, up
coal, as was her custom, leaving' the
three children in the house. Soon after
Adam CJ nicer, an old man who hap
pened to be passing, heard screams
from the house and saw smoke coming
from the burning building. He at
tempted to force open the door but
failed. With his bare fist he smashed
out the window and crawled into the

seething mass of flames.
Chokingly the aged man stumbled
through the eaiokc and flames to the
bed where the helpless babies lay.

his way out of the bouse, deposited his
wnthintr. burden on the ground and
returned to tho burning house. He
made two more trips, rescuing all of
the children.

and was dead before an amhulanco
arrived. The two older girls were
rushed to a hospital, where efforts arc
being made to save their lives.
When Mrs. Zidirich returned from
the tracks and learned of tho terrible
disaster, her mind gave way under its
burden of grief. She is being detained
to prevent her doing violence to herself.
