BURNED To DEATH.
Shocking Fate of Little Son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Schertner
at Dixon.
DISCOVERED BY THE MOTHER
Who Had Gone to Home of Neighbor
to Sec Sick Child
There.

\ 4-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Emil Schertner. of Dixon. was burned
TO death yesterday. and the mother is
Frustrated as result of the tragic
death Physicians are now working
over the mother To revive her. Ii was
feared for while that she could not
recover.
The death occurred through an acct
dent which took place at the home
while the mother was visiting At
Ineighbor's house. Mrs. Schertner was
preparing breakfast at about o'clock
for the little child, who had slept late,
and left some meat frying on the gaso-
line stove while she made 4 short visit
10 a neigh5or's house to learn the con-
dition of a sick child.
Rescue Comes Too Late.
she returned in an instant and was
| terribly shocked upon opening the door
| of her house TO find her little boy try
ing To get out and screaming pitifully.
Her eyes met the scene. and upon the
spur of the moment she grasped the
child. whise clothing was afire. but it
was too late to save him. The little
one died very soon after the flames
were extinguished. The mother faint
cd and had it not been for the assist
ance of the neishbors she also might
| have burned TO death.
The fire which ignited the clothing of
the child spread and the woodwork and
some of the furniture i'll the kitchen of
the home was burned. The fire depart
ment responded quickly to a call and
saved the home from destruction.
Body Horribly Burned.
| When the little one was examined il
was found thar he flesh was terribly
burned and great pieces of it fell from
the little body when it was being
dressed. The sight was a pitiful one,
and the tragedy has created the deep
est sympathy for the family through
ont Dixon.
Ii is not known just how the child's
clothing caught afire. but il is suppos-
ed that the little fellow was playing
with some papers near the gasoline
stove on which the meat was cooking,
and the papers caught afire. and in try
ling to extinsuish the fire the little fell
lows clothing was ignited.

Strenuous Neighborhood.

Not long since the Standard,
to be in keeping with the spirit
OF general progress prevalent,
moved to new quarters down
town in the bank building, but
little did we dream OF the siren
uositv involved by adopting two
dentists and an attorney for
neighborS. The latter's orations
run through our mind and the
points of law are confused with
everything we try to write,
while the dentists furnish us
with excitement little short of
soul-stirring. From either side
OF us comes an occasional
screech; not the ordinary one,
but with a mingling OF pain and
horror. characteristic of the dem
tai chair. Il %penetrates our ear
drums and reverberates through
Jul whole nervous system, and
ends with a tingling sensation
III every nerve center from our.
head to our toes. Verify, the
poor Juror and the dental pa
tient have hard rows to hoe,
but it is also hard Tor a man
of many troubles to sit busily
by and listen to the noises that
gyrate round our new quarters

Baseball Game for July 30th.

Arrangements have been made
for a match game of baseball to
be played in this city a week
from tomorrow between the
OVerlandS of Reno and the local
tossers. Although a number of
Fallon's best players will be alb
sent on the occasion, a rafting
good game of ball will be had.
The locals played the Overlands
on their grounds at Reno several
weeks ago, and those who wit
messed the game say that the
Fallon BOYS were there with the
goods throughout the entire
game, and that had 1t not been
for one or two Unavoidable mis-
fortunes, Churchill would have
won the game. A purse of $50
has been raised by local business
men to defrav the expenses OF
the visiting team, and If is
planned to give them a royal
good time on this occasion, as it
will be their first visit to this
county, and it is hoped that a
series of games can be arranged
for.
A Grand ball viii be given a
week from tonight for the bene-
fit OF the visiting team. Good
music will be furnished and a
general good time is promised
those who attend.
