A three-year-old child of Sumner Cater,
who lives in the westerly part of the town,
was very badly burned one day last week.
Its mother stepped out for few moments
when she heard scream and starting for
the house met the child with its clothes on
fire. She first tried to smother the fire
with her own clothing, then tried to get the
child's clothes off and finally had to get
pail of water and throw it on before the
flames were extingnished. The child was
badly burned about the back and sides and
is in critical condition with recovery
doubtful.
