TIME TABLE Markdale Won Debate Five Children Burned Father Dies in Huspltal VALIANT ATTEMPT AT RESCUE FAILS WHEN STAIRWAY COLLAPSES A terrible tragedy occurred a few mlies west of the American Sault last week which touches Flesherton, from the fact that the father of the family, which was all but annihilated when their house burned, was a nephew of Postmaster W. W. Trimble of Flesherton. Following is the de- spatch announcing the disaster: Five children were burned to death while their father received bums from which he may not recover, in a fire which totally destroyed the homes of Harry Trimble and L. G. Coleman at Rudyard, Mich., at 3.30 o'clock Thurs- day morning of last week. Only one of the six children in the Trimble family, Bernice, aged 18 months, v/as saved. The others, all under 10 years of age, perished â€" three of them going to their deaths when the burn- ing stairs collapsed as the father, aged 32 years, tried to bring them to Mrs. David Harraw I Dieil in Owen Seaml Trains leave Flesherton Station as â-  4 t follows- i" -^ debate was held in the United '""y- Going South Going North Church here Wednesday evening of T^e dead children «e: Margaret g.00 «.m 11^2 a.ni las* week between Markdale and In-j ^"«"«' *««^ ^° y"'"' Marjory, aged 41Q p„_ ««o __â-  iatioee Youni?
