PERISHED IN FIRE

FARMER’S THREE CHILDREN. Vancouver, Dec. 9. Awakened by smoke, James Nesbitt, an Edmonton district fafmer, and his wife had just time to soize their two babies and riish from the blazing farmhouse. The flames prevented them from dashing in again to rescue their four older children, a girl and three boys, who perished. Neighbours who saw the fire also arrived too late to give any assistance, and Mrs. Nesbitt was seriduesly frostbitten on the hands and feet before she could be carried to shelter. »The Canadian prairies are experiencing a fierce winter. The thermometer has dropped to 35 degrees below zero in the city of Winnipeg, and similar fearful temperatures have been recorded at Edmonton and Calgary.
