for the timely arrival OF help the
young lady would have been fatally
burned; however she was burned
badly about the back and chest. but
not dangerously so.
Uncle Sim Weaver OF warrens

last week while sitting on the banks
Of Red river. where some parties
were fishing.
Il Is said that Uncle Sim went to
sleep while sitting by the fire. and
by some means his clothing caught

eNtinguished he was severely burned
on the leg. thigh and lower parts OF
his body.
His injuries. while quite painful.
are not very serious.

and started TO lead them out.
The thief did not calculate on Kel.
| Ily's faithful little dog giving him
away. and when Mr.. Kelly heard the
dog barking 50 violently he knew
/ something was up. so he went immo.
diately to the dogs rescue.
The thief evidently heard the
watchman coming and dropped the
halters Of the horses and ran out ano

Mr. Kelly shot al him a couple OF
times. but the night was dark. AMI
