HE FATAL FIRE AT LANDSBOROUGH
The police authorities in Brisbane have received a report relative to the burning tragedy at Landsborough on Monday, whereby Mrs Burgess lost her life and her husband, who was brought to Brisbane, died from the burns he received. Constable Smith reported that he had interviewed Burgess, who was burnt on the legs and hands. Burgess said that he and his wife went to bed about 10 pm, but could not sleep. His wife got up and struck a ma in order to get a drink. She then returned to bed, but almost immediately flames broke out. Burgess called to his wife as he ran through the flames. That was all he could say. The constable visited the scene of the fire, and found that the house had been totally destroyed, even the dogs which were chained at the back having perished. He recovered certain charred remains, which were buried. An inquiry will be held at an early date.
