Eldora Woman Terribly Burned.

One of the most terrible accidents
ever recorded at Eldora happened
Thursday evening to Mrs. Maggie
Frazer. living on the Carl Stielow
farm, three miles west of Eldora She
had placed a can of common floor
paint upon the kitchen stove and in
taking the heated can from the stove
the bottom became unsoldered, the
contents, mixed with gasoline, spread
all over her body and was terribly
burned and charred. She crawled to
a cot and there remained an hour un-
til help arrived, the husband being at
work in the field. So suddenly had
the unfortunate woman been burned,
her nerves were completely paralyzed.
A sister. law from Eldora Glanced
to arrive after the accident and hastily
summoned the husband and telephoned
for doctors, but they were unable to
render any assistance that would save
her life and she died at o. clock next
morning The doctors state that they
never have been called to attend so
pitiful and distressing case where
so great nerve and patience was dis
played.

Bow Under Horses Feet.

Morgan, the little son of Mrs. J. M.
Kemble, now visiting here from Glen
dive, Mont, came near meeting with
fatal mishap on Main street last
Saturday morning He was crossing
opposite the postoffice and stopped to
pick up a newspaper dropped by some
one, and started to retrace his steps.
when he ran squarely into the team
owned by the Pioneer meat market
and at that moment being driven down
town by Leo Tully. He fell directl y
under one horse. the animals hind
hoof being planted squarely on the
little hand and arm, but luckily with.
out much harm resulting. Bystanders
aver that the horse eased up on the
foot when he learned what was under
him. Some who saw the child's pre-
dicament say they turned sick at heart
and almost tainted as they expected to
see the boys life instantly kicked out.
1t was one of the most fortunate in
cidents imaginable and perhaps could
not again happen without more SER
ious consequences. No blame what
ever is attached to the driver Of the
team as no person could have avoided
the accident under the circumstances.
