Lumberton, May 8—Fire of undetermined origin took a fearful toll Thursday morning when a tenant house on Wesley Herring’s farm, about five miles east of Fairmont, was destroyed and three negro children burned to death. Details of the fire could not be learned yesterday but from Fairmont it was reported that the parents of the children had left them in the house alone and were in a tobacco field at work when the flames were discovered.
