Alone in the House When
Her Dress Caught From
Fireplace.

The wife of Jim Long, a colored
farm hand living on Mr.. Lee divers
farm, near Pembroke, was burned
to death Monday afternoon. Long
was at work in the neighborhood
and his wife and baby were alone in
their house. The woman was in the
act of placing her baby in a chair
near the fireplace, when her dress
caught and she was instantly en-
veloped in flames. She seized the
child and ran out doors. Her
screams attracted some men who
were moving wheat from a granary
near by and they ran to her assis'
lance. The woman started back
into the house, but fell and was
placed on a bed and wrapped in
bedding. A physician was immed-
lately summoned and rendered all
the relief possible, but death re-
suited in a few hours. The baby
was not injured.
