  A little son being missed from the home of William Huey, at 
Allensville near Lewistown, Friday night, Mrs. Huey and Miss Grace Rudy 
took a lighted lantern and started to the barn in search. They ascended 
to the oats now a short distance from the granary and hay mow 
adjoining, a deep narrow opening being between.  Miss Rudy, not 
noticing it, fell to the bottom and the lantern exploded, starting a 
blaze at once.  The unfortunate girl called for help, but there was no 
possible way of rescue.  Mrs. Huey, almost frantic, was compelled to 
flee to save herself.  The girl was burned beyond recognition and the 
barn with its contents destroyed.  When a wagon was being removed from 
the shed to save it the boy was found asleep in the bed.  Miss Rudy was 
20 years old.
