SHOCKING TRAGEDY.
FIVE WOMEN AND FOUR MEN BURNT. FIRE IN LOFT. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Sept. 21. A shocking tragedy occurred on a farm at Dundonald, in Ayrshire. A party of men and women engaged as potato gatherers slept in a partitioned loft over a barn. A fire broke out at one o’clock in the morning. The occupants of the loft made a frenzied search for a small ladder way, the only means of escape, but smoke obscured the outlet, with the result that five women and four men were incinerated.
