LITTLE JOE HOFFMAN BURNED TO DEATH AT DRAGON
Just as we go to press, word comes over the Uintah wire that the home of Rolf Hoffman, water serviceman for the Uintah Railway at Dragon, had burned to the ground, with all its contents, and also burning to death his little four year old son. The charred remains of the boy was found between the house and the woodshed. He was all alone in the house at the time, and it is thought he must have got matches and set fire to the place. The parents are grief-stricken at the awful affair. The little fellow was the youngest out of a family of five. The mother was away from home at the time.
