BURNED TO DEATH.
BLAZE AT LUMBER CAMP. LOCOMOTIVE PLUNGES INTO FIRE. By Cable. — Press Association. — Copyright. NEW YORK, July 12. During a fire which destroyed a logging camp at Comly Mill, Tacoma, 17 men aboard a locomotive attempted to save a number of loaded lumber cars, but the locomotive left the undermined track, and plunged headlong into the fire.
Fourteen escaped, badly burned, but three were burnt to ashes.
A boy caught his foot under the overturned engine and was slowly roasted to death, his companions being too injured to assist him.
