Boy Burned Mt the stake.

EAST LIVERPOOL, Oct. 4.-The 6-year-
old son of Andrew Vandine was burned
at the stake Wednesday by five com
panions and SO badly injured that he
cannot recover. His torturers were

the performance and ran to the boys
rescue, but his clothes had taken fire
and he was badly burned and the physi-
clans say it is impossible for him to
live. A Wild West show exhibited here
about a month ago and since that time

alley and tied him to stake After
firing toy pistols at him until he was
half dead with terror they piled shay
ings around him and then set fire to
them in true Indian style.

this city alone.
