The danger and pain seemed to craze the girl, for she ran upstairs and out of doors to a neighbours, followed by MT Ferry, who with the assistance of Mrs Wilbur roll her in the wet grass, which effect ually extinguished the flames, but not until the clothing was nearly burned off and the body one mass of burns. In putting out the fire Bailey Ferry was seriously burned on the hands and arms and it is feared that he inhaled some of the flames, for Sunday he had severe fits of vomiting.
