HEARD OVER KFCjD EAS 'THE SADDEST NEvrS '
from Fairbanks. Dec.at 8 A.M. Mrs.
JBudni-c& telephoned her hsuband. The
furnace was smoking- & setting their
ncuse on fire.He is in charge of the
freight office of the Gov’t RR & he
told her what to do over the phone &
then beat it for home as fast as he
could go.Only-to find the whole place
in flames,& not to f-ind either of his
wife or 5-yr-old boy. Nohe of those
trying to put out the fire had seen t
them either»So he rushed into -their
house to hunt.But the floor had coll
apsed into the basement & he couldnot
find anyone.He was burned in many pl
aces- & his arm was badly cut but he
didnot mind those things.After the
ruins’had begun to eooloff,many hrsv
later,the bones of his wife & their
only child were found in the basement
Kr.Budnick is still in the hospital
where he is still sick at the shock
of losing both his wife & little, son.
The Herald has not any words-to ex
press their sympathy for such a sor
row to Mr.Budnick.Everyone in Alaska
will surely sorrow with hiiji.
