THIRD WOMAN IS REPORTED TO BE DYING.
Mrs. Henry Uthe and Daughter Darlene Are Victims.
Mrs. Henry Uthe, 25, and her daughter Darlene, five, are dead, and Mrs. Uthe's mother-in-law, Mrs. John Uthe, 53, is near death as a result of burns they received early Saturday afternoon when lard which they were rendering in the kitchen of the farm home of Henry Uthe near Kieler, Wis., boiled over on an open flame and exploded.
Another daughter of Mrs. Henry Uthe, Elaine, seven, received what appeared to be minor burns about the hands and arms.
Husband Invalid.
The accident occurred about 15 minutes after the husband and father of the two fatally burned had returned to his home from Mercy hospital where he had been confined by a serious illness. He took the four victims of the accident to the hospital from which he had been discharged but a short time before.
The two older women had been engaged in rendering the lard when Mr. Uthe returned from the hospital. After he had been welcomed home by his mother, wife, and children, he had gone to a bedroom in the home to rest while the women, accompanied by the two children, had returned to the kitchen. Shortly after, Mr. Uthe heard their screams and rushing into the kitchen, found the clothing of his mother, wife, and older daughter a mass of flames.
Lard Ignites.
He found that the lard had boiled over and that the hot grease when it struck the flames and hot stove had sent masses of flaming fluid in every direction. As it struck the four people in the kitchen it ignited their clothing. Uthe managed to extinguish the flames on the clothing of the older girl before she had been badly burned, but found himself helpless in combatting the flames which quickly burned off the clothing of his wife, mother, and younger daughter, and left their bodies a solid mass of burns.
Wrapping them in blankets, sheets, and other cloths, he placed them in his automobile and rushed them to the hospital there. Physicians notified of the accident were waiting to give them first aid, but the first examination revealed the three victims to be so badly burned that no hope was held for their recovery. The child was the first to die, death coming late in the afternoon. A few hours later, her mother died. Following the death of the younger Mrs. Uthe, it was stated that no hope was held for the recovery of the older woman.
When the child died, the body was taken to the Haudenshield funeral home, and it was announced the funeral would be held Sunday morning from the family home one-quarter of a mile north of Kieler to the Immaculate Conception Catholic church at Kieler, where services would be conducted at 10 o'clock. After members of the family had made arrangements for the funeral of the child, word was received that the mother was also taken to the Haudenshield mortuary, but at a late hour Saturday night burial arrangements had not been made.
The flaming lard ignited the interior of the kitchen and considerable damage was caused to the home before it was extinguished.

The two women and the child died from burns received Saturday afternoon when a large pot of lard which was being rendered in the kitchen of the Uthe home near Kieler boiled over, ignited on the hot stove and filled the kitchen with flames. Another of Mrs. Henry Uthe's daughters, Elaine, seven, received minor burns.
The accident, which resulted in three deaths, occurred a short time after Henry Uthe had returned home from Mercy hospital, where he had been seriously ill for some time.
