FEARFUL TRAGEDY.
FAMILY ASPHYXIATED. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Ottawa, January 16. At Yorkton, Saskatchewan, on the eve of celebrating their golden wedding, Mr. and Mrs. McNicholl were found dead and with them the bodies of their six grand-children, and also of their daughter-in-law, who had been asphyxiated in their home on the prairies. Snow and ice had choked- the stovepipe, and all the inmates had been killed by coal gas.
The husband was absent in Winnipeg, arranging for the wedding celebration of his parents.
