Three Young Girls Die
In Ranch Challenge Fire

Three young girls died in a fire Saturday night at Ranch Challenge, northeast of Wickenburg on Constellation Road.

They were in a girls dorm, one of the buildings maintained by the Hallelujah People who formerly had their own settlement in Stanton.

Dead in the blaze were Esther Voner and Adarah Robertson, both two years old, and Amanda White, 8.

A fourth girl was burned in the fire, which broke out while adults in the group were in a meeting in a nearby building.

Some of the adults were able to rescue some of the children in the dorm.

It was reported the group has no electricity in use yet, and light is by lanterns and candles.
