BURNS
TO Death

Pennington, Mar. THE six
year-old child of Frank Grotto. an
cmploye Of the Georges Creek Coal
& Iron company, was burned to
death yesterday afternoon within a
few yards Of her parents home. The
little one secured few matches with
which she set fire to some dry grass
which soon enyeloped her in flames
from which she made frantic efforts
to escape before she succumbed to
the terrible pain.
DR.. Smith was Immediately sum
lnoned and did all in his power to
save the little ones life, but without
avail.
The entire community sympa-
thizes with the distracted parents
and many of them went to the house
and did what they could for the
family.
Grotto is said to be very deserv-
ing man and is well spoken Of by his
employers.
