What might have been a fatal cat-
astrophe was averted by mere -luck,
when little Annie Cox, daughter of
Mrs. Cox, Albert St. was struck and
run over by an automobile on Main
St. on Thursday last about 5.30 p.m.
It was while the people were return-
ing from the fire at the station, that
Annie ran out from between two cars
that were standing at the curb. She
was struck by a Ford car driven by
Wilfred Mack and was carried for a
short distance, the car passing: over
her but fortunately the wheels did
not touch her. She was immediately
rushed to Dr. Graham's office and
later taken to' her home. it was
found she was badly bruised about
with a' large glum 'o.

• creeping be-
neati the door which. leads into the
sunirner 'kitchen. On opening the
door he was confronted with a seeth-
ing mass of flames, which swept
into the living kitchen by a wind
blowing in that direction. Return-
ing upstairs lie awakened the various
members of the family and with some
of them he started down stairs, the
stairs opening into the kitchen. Es-
cape through the kitchen door was
cut off and Alt. Stanlake, his adopted
daughter Beatrice, and his son Harry
aged 15 attempted to get out of the
front door. This refused : to ` yield
as it had been closed up during the
'winter, and Mr. Stanlake turned to
one of the windows which he broke
' and hurried the children through
It was too late to return. Mrs. Stan -
lake had remained to gather up the
baby and possibly :the younger child-
ren when her chance of escape was
cut off. ' Albert also made a start
for safety but returned.' upstairs and
lost his chance of escape. The boy
and the girl who escaped were some-
what • burned while the father was
slightly burned, cut by glass and was
almost overcome by suffocation.
The glare of the fire- could he seen
fot'miles and • man$-•;were;soon'.upon;,
the scene but were powerless to help.
The house was engulfed in flames
and so intense was the heat that they
could not get 'within many feet of it.
within a couple of hours, the frame
house which had stood for over forty
years and which was one of the land-
marks on the Lake Road; was a
smouldering mass of ruins. The tall
brick chimney stood erect but before
the searchers commenced their grim
task of finding' the bodies, it was
toppled over.
The origin of the fire is a mystery. ;
A. sznud e had been lit y in the
g - early
evening for the purpose,, of driving
away the .mosquitoes. This, how
ever, was away from where the fire
originated, and had,,b,een put out by
water before the, family retired.
The. home was comfortably 'furn-
ished and equipped with. furnace,
bath, outfit and other conveniences.
A Victrola wlircii had often enter-
tained
the -family and a piano were
destroyed along with the rest of the
furniture.
The remains of four of the bodies
were taken out early Saturday morn-
ing while the embers were still hot
and the fire smouldering:. The moth-
er had her 'babe clasped. in here arms
while near, her were the other three'
children and: it looked 'as it .she had
gathered them about her, Men with
pails threw water upon the de'bitig
but the water supply l was'•`limited.
All day long the searchers worked..
The watering was cart va sent out from
Exeter in the afternoon. This made
the work of the searchers less dim
cult and towards evening the remains
of the other two were found.
Coroner Dr. I-yndna+an was on the
scene • early and took charge of the
survivors and directed the activities.
All , day : long autos visited - the
scene. Thiswas repeated on Sunday
when .:visitors cane for miles and
kept up until the shades of evening
hid the snrroundiaigs.
On' Sunday the funeral was held,
and never was such a crowd gathered
at a funeral in the Listory of Exeter,
The service was held in the Opera
House over the undertaking rooms
of M, E. Gardiner, The tragedy had
cast a gloom over the entire commun-
ity.
ommun-ity. and the sympathy of everyone
went out to the bereaved. The • ball
was filled while many mord retrained.
outisde, At the cemetery a large
ei'owd had assembled. The o charred
remains of the six,who had met
death together, were buried together
in a single coffin. Beautiful floral
