Wore About Robeson Holocaust
Tbe following item is a
tnd more detailed lepnrt of the burn.
mg of Center u Robeson . , s bouse . and ,
children near A bilene, Texas, a short
•ketch of which was published in a
recent issue of The JmFLBCtfTK.
To reproduce tbe diagram mentioned
would be both inaccurate and „
necessay.
Abilene was thrown into a
of excitement Wednesday morning
Caps for three *“" coffins 7 " for rr the dead 'r ,
children 0! V. A. Robeson. It was
stated by them that the residence of
Mr. C.A. Robeson was destroyed the
previous night by fire and that three
of bis children were burned to death
and another was in a precarious con
dition.
Judge Chandler and Constable
Millsap went out immediately to hold
tbe inquest but owing to the unset¬
tled condition caused by tbe accident
postponed the matter until a later
date.
The judge informed us, however,
ibat nothing remained of tbe uuforu
nate ones except the bodies and
heads; the limb* being virtually con
sumed by the flames.
From R. A Ayer* we got a plot of
the building and how the dead ones
met their death,
From this rough sketch it will he
•een that the building faced the north
and that the parents were sleeping
in the east room, while the - daugh¬
ters, three in number, were sleeping
in the west Voom and the boys, also
three in number, were sleeping in
the room immediately south of that
occupied by their sisters.
The kitchen atove was in the ex¬
treme south room as shown by the
plot and here is where the fire origi
nated. When the oldest boy awoke
the kitchen and dining loom were in
flames and the room occupied by
himself and brother* was rapidly
burning. He rushed into the room
in which his sister* slept and called
them and then went to his parent-’
room to wake them. A* soon as Mr.
Kobeson saw the trouble he rushed
into the room occupied by his
daughters but finding the oldest one,
Miss Mattie, not there started into
the boys’ room. When he reached
the door leading into this room he

Scott's Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with

This is the 111 st horrible accident
that has occurred in the annals of
Taylor county history and one that
the good citizens never want to see
repeated
Much sympathy is expressed foi
the stricken family
The funeral took place at the Caps
cemetery Wednesday afternoon and
the remains were attended to their
last resting place by almost every
person within a radius of a number
of miles of that thriving little village

useful remedies ever discovered for
