A SAD AFFAIR.
The Little Daughter of MT, and
 Mrs. Johnson Burned to Death.

WI S0iltiSO' tiSN NV - SSssN''
 The hand of affiiction has been laid heavily on the home of Mir. and Mrs. Johnson, resid ing in Pritchard'. addition. Tuesday afternoon about three o'clock the clothing of their little eighteen months old daughter caught fire, and the injuries were so great that the sufferings of the little one ceas- ed at 10 o'clock Wednesday night. Although the little body was parched and bleed ing from the touch of the cruel flames, its sweet spirit, un scathed, and as pure as the saints, has found peaceful rest.
 Mir. Johnson was not at home, being at Westville we under stand. There was no one ln the house at the time except an older child of some four year S. Both the children were sleep ing when Mrs. Johnson stepped down to a neighbors, only a short distance away. She says she was gone only about five minutes, and on returning saw the child standing in the wind ow wrapped in flames. It had on heavy woolen clothing, all of which was burned from its body. The flesh on the child from its knees up was burned and dropped of in many places. Physicians were summoned, and they saw at glance that nothing could be done to save it. Opiates were administered to ease it's suffering as much as possible. No one knows how the clothing became ignit- ed, as there was but little fire in the stoye. The probabili ties are the child secured a match in some manner and in playing with it its clothing caught fire.
 As THE NEwR goes to press Thursday afternoon no arrange ments have been made for the funeral, waiting to near from Mir. Johnson.
 Mir. Johnson and family came here several months ago from Green County, Missouri, he be ing a son of Uncle Jake John son. The parents have the heartfelt sympathy of the en tire community.
 LATER. = The funeral was from the South Methodist church yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
