On Wednesday last. Miss Ida Barnes
of Sutton, P. O., who lives with A. W..
Brown. and Maggie johnson of this
place were shockingly burned by fire
from kerosene stove. Miss Barnes
was using the stove for ironing. and be-
ing called away for few moments, the
lamp in some manner took fire, making
the whole stove blaze. When she re-
turned she saw the FIRE and undertook to
throw the stove out of doors with tongs.
AS she threw it out, the flames not only
caught her own clothes on fire, but the
stove fell where it set the clothes of Miss
Johnson on fire, who happened just at
that time to be in front of the door.
Miss Barnes ran into the house, her
clothes sheet of fame, and thence into
the street. where she was seized and the
fire smothered. She was terribly burned
about the body and on the hands, and
has suffered extremely ever since, but
NAV recover. Miss Johnson was burned
nearly as badly as Miss Barnes, but will
