MAYBURG'S FEARFUL HOLOCAUST
Four Men Cremated In Boarding House
Fire, Saturday Night. Scene
Beggars Description.
Four men were cremated In a fire which
destroyed a wood-chopper's boarding
house located near tbe chemical plant on
tbe opposite aide of tbe creek from the
town of May burg, Kingsley township,
tbia county, at an early hour Sunday
morning. Two others were badly burned
and have since been taken to the Kane
hospital. ' They are Michael Sbuster tbe
boarding bouse keeper, and his wile.
Mrs. Sbuster'a burns are thought to be of
a fatal nature, and her seven-days-old
babe way die from exposure. Tbe father
will recover. Tbe dead are:
An tone Smerdel aged 87;
Jake Meier, aged 22;
Antone Zortek,agfd 49;
Frank Zortek, aged 19.
There were thirty-eight men, live
women and two children sleeping lo the
bouse at tbe time of tbe fire all ol whom,
except those mentioned, made their es
cape witbout injury.
Tbe oause of Ibe fire Is supposed to
bave been from Ibe explosion of a lamp,
as bas been pretty well demonstrated up
on Investigation. It occurred between
one and two o'clock.
Tbe men were employed as wood chop
pers by tbe Tlonesta Valley Chemi"al
Co., and Ibe building wbicb was de
stroyed was 24 x60 feel, frame, two stor'es
bigb. It waa owned by tbe company but
bad been newly furnished only , two
mouths ago by Mike Snuster and Joe
Fabatz, wbo, with tbe assistance of their
wives, conducted Ibe boarding house, snd
bsd 41) boarders, wbo also roomed in the
camp.
Alter Mrs. Sbuster bad aroused tbe
camp she ran to her room to get ber
seven-day-old baby, and tbia heroic deed
will probabyl cost the woman ber life, aa
abe was badly burned over Ibe entire
body, while Ibe Infant, wbicb she bad
carefully wrapped in a blanket, escaped
witb only a slight burn on Ibe left band.
The woman, busbaud aud child were
taken to tbe KaneSnmmll hospital Mon
day morning, attended by a Kellettvllle
pbysicisn and tbe manager of tbe Chemi
cal company. Mra. Sbu-ter'a recovery is
doubtful, wbile ber husband, wbo bad
botb banda badly burned in trying to ex
tinguish ber burning clothing, will be
laid up lor some lime. Tbe little baby
may die of tbe exposure it was forced lo
encounter.
Those wbo escaped were clad only io
lightest clothing, and in their bare feel
were obliged lo walk over Ice and snow
to the company store a distance of half a
mile where Mr. Smith, lbs manager,
spent tbe balanoe of tbe nlgbt banding
out Blockings, shoes and clothing lo the
unfortunatea whose distress waa pitiable
indeed.
Besides the loss of clothing, furniture,
etc., over 1,6(M) In money was also de
stroyed, which represented tbe bard
earnings of most of tbe men wbo bad
given their money over to Mr. Sbuater to
keep for them, wbicb be bad accreted in
bis room. Mr, Sbuster also lost $200 of
bla own money, which now leavea him
penniless snd without clothing.
Tbe loss of tbe building and its con
tents Is estimated at about $2,000. All of
the men wbo were burned were Aus
triana. All of those In the building were
Austrians, and one of tbe men who lost
bis life bad a wife and four children liv
lng In Austria.
The bodies of the unfortunate victims
were removed from tbe still smouldering
embers only tbe trunka remaining and
taken to Sheffield on the Monday morn
ing train, where tbey were prepared for
burial, which waa made In the Catholic
cemetery in Warren.
The acenes about Ihe conflagration are
said to bave been frightful, men, women
and children, almost entirely nude were
frantically sorea i lng witb fright and
horror and it was witb greatest difficulty
that tbey were quieted and brought lo
tbelr senses by tbe neighbors, wbo lost
no lime in doing their utmost in alleviat
ing tbe distress of the victims and mak
ing thetn as comfortable as possible un
der tbe trying circumstances.
Tbe Kane Republican of Tuesday says:
"Mra. Mike Sbuster, wbo was fatally
burned In tbe fire tbat destroyed a wood
choppers' camp, al May burg, on Satur
day morning, and wbo waa brought to
the Kane Summit Hospital yesterday
morning, together with ber husband and
aeven-daya-old baby, cannot recover and
ber death ia looked for at any lime. It is
thought now ibal the baby will survive,
and Mr. Sbuster, wbo waa not seriously
burned, is getting along nicely."
Pampered Too Much.
"You are always worrying," r&
marked the baseball magnate.
"I have to be careful not to produce
anything too heavy," explained the
theatrical manager. "You know,
have to cater to the tired business
man."
"I don't let the tired business man
worry me. He roots with the others
when he gets to the ball park."
