TRINIDAD BALLEsTERoS DEAD
The Little Girl for Whom a Relief Fund Was Forced on Republican.


 Trinidad Ballesteros. the nfteen-year- old girl who sWasi SO badly burned q week ago last Monday night, died yes terday at noon notwithstanding there had been q growing hope of her recov- cry. At the time of the accident the attending physician, pr. Stroud, did not believe that she could recover, the destruction of the skin surface had been SO great. The accident happened in the course of the lighting of a fire. the flame having been communicated to her apron, and before it could be extinguished the clothing had been burnt off of her and her limbs and body to the neck were scared. The face escaped the marks of the fire.
 When she had survived a day or two there began to be a hope that she might get well, and the longer she lived that hope grew, for the danger of death from the destruction of the skin surface was growing more remote day by day. There was though never a time when she was believed to be out of danger of blood poisoning.
 A few days after the accident The

 These contributions amounted night before last to $38.25. Four others were received yesterday before noon. Two Of the donors were Edith Rees and H. w. Ryder, who gave $1 each. One mar called at the office and left S5. He re- quested that his name be no. published. He was a stranger.
 The last contribution of the day was as follows:
