A little girl OF Mr.. Van Ausdsle, living
two miles east of the city, near Lstn
Branch school house, was playing around
camp fire left by come emigranys, Friday
morning, when in some manner her cloth
ing caught fire. Her screams brought her
mother to her assistance, who, in endeavor-
ing TO save The child, burned her hand and
arms fearfully, and compelled ner to de-
sist. Another child then undertook to
help, and was also seriously burned. the
injuries inflicted upon the little one were
so serious that sfter lingering in great pain
and suffering until y o'clock Friday night,
she died.
The burns inflicted upon the mother are
very distressing, and 80 serious as to cause
the nails to drop from the fingers and the
flesh from the bones, and If she survives al

DANGERoUsLY BITTEN BY A SKUNK.

james Nolan, one of the mail carriers on
the Fl. Bascom route, was bitten by skunk
about two weeks ago. The skunk attacked
him while laying under his blankets it ate
a hole through his blankets before Nolan
awoke. When first discovered it was in
the act of nibbling at the clothes of the
sleeper, but upon being pushed gently
away, it seized the young man by the thigh
and bit him to euch an extent that the
blood oozed from his wound. Nolan Was
brought into the post hospital at Fort Ell
iiott, where medical attendance could be
had, and it is the opinion of experts thst
he is in danger of hydrophobia.
