climbed up and took some parlor matches
and went outside to light them and hear
them crack. Mrs. W. Ill. Smith saw him
lighting them and started TO take them
from him, but at that time her own baby
awoke and she stopped 10 take IL up;
minute later she heard the little fellow
outside scream and looking out, saw him
enveloped in flames. She ran to him and
wound her apron around him and, as she
supposed, put out the fire; she then ran
for his mother who was only a few, steps
away; when they returned the child's
waist was again a sheet of flames, Mrs APP
plebee seized pail of water and threw IL
on him and then tore off his clothing, the
skin coming off in many places. DIR. Tom
kins soon arrived and all was done for his
relief that loving hands could do, but the
little sufferer passed to that Realm whore
''fiames meier devour, or waves o'er-how"
at two o'clock Wednesday morning. A
sorrowing community extend TO Mr.. and
Mrs. Applebee their heartfelt sympathy i'm
this affection that has saddened their home.

There are strong evidences that panther
is hiding in the woods near the Phillips
Bros farm, just west of the village. While
no one has seen the animal, from the con-
dition in which it left the carcass OF a calf,

ly that the creature is no dog, bear, or
other familiar animal. Several hunters
from the village have been trying TO get
track of the panther but with no success
as yet.
