Victim Of an Accident Suffers.


Mr.. j. A. Cross, residing on Wild

with the particulars of terrible acci-
dent that befell little Dorie James,
aged II years, and her 12-year-old sis

stricken family residing in the neigh
borhood of wild Horse creek.
The family reside in little shack
without floor or stove and a fire was
kindled upon the hard ground. In pass
ing the fire the dress of little Dorie
came in contact with the flames and
in an instant her ragged dress was a
mass OF flames. The younger sister,
Willie, called to her that she was on
fire and the terrified child bolted out
of the house and commenced to run
about the yard, thus tanning the
flames to a greater fury. Willie, the
younger sister, went to the rescue and

was severely burned about the head
and arms.
The mother, who was in the field
near by, fastened to the rescue and
threw a shawl about the charred body
of the child. Every particle of clothing
had been burned from the body ex
cept the neck of her dress.
There being no physician near the
little one was left to suffer the terri

The neighbors are doing what little
they can to relieve her sufferings bu

man from the start, withdrew and then
his vote went to Capt. Nelson, and the
