Last Wednesday morning about 10
O'Clock, Mrs. Milt. Dicken, who lives
about Il miles north OF here, met with
very serious and painful accident,
which may yet prove fatal. 1t appears
that Mrs. Dicken was engaged in pre-
pairing a chicken for dinner, and in or
der to ciean it thoroughly she uncovered
the stove to let the flames Of fire SINCE
the hair and small feathers from the
chicken. While leaning over the stove
her apron took fire. and in short time
her entire clothing was III flames. She
cried for help, and very fortunately her
husband was in the house in an adjoin-
Ing room, and he ran to her assistance
only To find that there we're 10 facilities
nj hand with which to put out the fierce
flames which were consuming his wife
He then quickly carried her to the next
room and wrapped about her some ned
clothes, and thus eXtingi.ished the fire;
but Mr.. Dickens arms wee so badly
burned from the elbows down. rs to
cause the skin and flesh to puff out to
twice their natural size, and render him
helpless, for a time at least. Mrs. Dick
Ell was horribly burned about the arms,
head. abdomen and limbs. and suffered
intense pain Willie being conveyed 20
this city, with her husband, in neigh
boris carriage. DIR. Lockwood gave
them medical attention, and has hopes
of their recovery. After the wounds
of the woman were dressed she assumed
, a cheerful spirit, ard remarked that as
she felt very hungry something to eat
would be acceptable. she evidently has
great deal of courage, TO bear up so
well under such very distressing clrcum-
stances.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dicken are now at the
residence of Jas. 3. Ely, IN this city,
where kind friends are ministering 10
their comfort.
