CHILDREN TIED IN BED; BURNED BY MOTHER.

Nelsonvffle, 0., Juljy 29.—Several hours before authorities were to remove them to the Athens county home today, seven children, ranging in age from six months to ten years, were found with their mother, Mrs. Tony Stavisar, burned to death or asphyxiated in their home at Kimberly, a small mining town near here. The children were tied to their beds and coail oil had been springled over the room. It is supposed that worry over the separation caused the mother to destroy herself and the children.
