An Awful Death.
While Playing in Field Her Clothes are
Set on Fire.
The three year. old daughter of Au-
gust KALI, who lives near the Vinegar
Works, was burned to death Thursday
afternoon. The KALI home is not Tar
from the Northwestern railroad track,
and during the afternoon the little girl
had been playing in field adjoining the
railroad right-of-way. The fire, which
the section men had set to the grass and
weeds on the railroad property, spread
late in the afternoon to the field where
the child was at play, and, being too
young to understand the danger she was
in, the baby continued to play in the
neighborhood until her clothes caught
fire. The scene which followed must
have been terrible one. When help
| arrived, the child had been so badly
burned that medical aid was altogether
unavailing. In fact the attending ply
slcian, DR.. Stricken, had never seen a
case so pitiful. The entire body was
burned, not merely blistered, as is usu-
ally the case, but literally roasted to
the bone. The burning occurred at about
four O'Clock. At seven the same even
ing the little one Was dead. H.,
Coroner Rothenburg came down from
Springfield Saturday morning to look
into the case. He visited the place where
the child's clothes caught fire and OK.
pressed the opinion that it must have
been close up to the railroad fence. He
did not deem an inquest necessary, mas
much as the cause of death was appar.
emf and the question of blame, if any
blame is to be attached to the railroad
company, was rather one for the courts
than the coroner, to determine.
