Man and 40 Dogs Die as Imperial Kennel Burns Two men were burned, one critically, and 40 of the country's finest hunting dogs were destroyed Monday when fire swept a barn on the Wilson farm near Imperial during the annual field trials of the Coraopolis Beagle club. George GILBERT, the kennel master, believed to have been asleep in the hayloft, was taken to the Allegheny General hospital, where he died Tuesday morning. A carpenter working on the roof of the barn discovered the fire and rescued GILBERT, it was said. The other man injured was C. E. PORTER of Coraopolis, who suffered burns on the hand when he drove his car back from the blazing fire and then assisted in the rescue of 60 or more of the piteously yelping dogs caged in the barn. Dale SUTTON, owner of a New Haven, Ky., kennel, who had entered more than 50 dogs in the trials for himself and wealthy clients, was on of the first to reach the scene from the nearby farmhouse where all the exhibitors were lunching. He and his wife, Mrs. Irene SUTTON, and PORTER, turned loose as many dogs as they could reach before the heat of the flames drove them back. Firemen arrived from Imperial but were unable to save the barn because there was no water supply at hand. Among the wealthy fanciers whose dogs were killed in the blaze was the du Pont family of Delaware.
