Children Burned to Death

Mankato, May 26 [1893] — The house of Frank Manaige at St. Clair,

fifteen miles from this city, was burned yesterday, and two

of his children, a nine-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy,

were burned to a crisp, the remainder of the family having

narrowly escaped. One child was dropped out of a second-story

widow and saved, and Mrs. Manaige saved herself by jumping

from a second-story widow. She remained in the burning house

in search of her missing children until almost overcome by smoke,

and was forced to leave. The fire originated from a gasoline stove

which the older daughter was attempting to light.
