TWO MEN BURNT TO DEATH.
Fatal Fire at Broken Hill.
A fire, attended with fatal results, occurred at Broken Hill, early this morning. The Duke of Cornwall Hoiel, owned by MiBarney Horris, one of the oldest residents of Broken Hill, by some means caught tire, and his family had a narrow escape from being burnt to death. Two men, one a navvy working on the Silverton tramway, could not get out in time, and they were burnt to death. Fli*es are now of almost daily occurrence, and on account of the water being so scarce the townspeople are greatly alarmed. This makes the third person burnt to death during the last fortnight.
