And icebergs kiss the sky!

Horrible Death of a Little Child

Mr.. and Mrs. Luther Gutshalls
little girl, Emma, aged seven years,
met the awful fate of burning to
death at their home Oh Jackson's
river, last Sunday morning. Mr..
Gutshall, was in West Virginia at
the time Of the sad occurrence, and
his wife and grandmother left the
child in the house at nine o'clock
Sunday morning to attend to some
duties short distance fr m
the house, and had been absent but
few moments when they heard
distressing screams. The mother
hurried to the house from which
she had not been absent over five
minutes, to find her daughter,
whom she had left so short a time
before happily engaged IN youth
full pleasures, enveIoped in a flame
of fire. The fire could not be ex-
tinguished until it had burned ali
the clothing from the body, leav-
ing it charred mass which could
not be recognized as the bright
little girl of moment before. At
ter a few hours of most terrible suf.
fering death came, and suffering
was no more.
1t is thought that the little girl
was playing near the open fireplace
in which was considerable fire Of
dry wood, and her dress came in
contact with the flames
