heard the calls and hurried there,
finding Mr. Williams in the yard
trying to get out of his burning

Mr. Williams and rushed on .into the
flaming building to save the women

and children were rescued from the'

but Mrs. Williams rushed back into
the flames thinking one of her cbitd*

received what the physician thinks
will prove to be fatal bums. Short- j
