LITTLE GIRL
BURNS TO DEATH
CLARISSA LARSEN MEETS MUST Elk.
CIRCULATING DEATH.
Clothing Catches Afire and Literally Burns
From Her Body While She Rushes to
the Neishbors for Help

One of the most pitiable cases of
suffering and death ever known in
DEBORAH fell to the lou of little
Clarissa Larsen, the nine year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Lar
sen, who live on the fat near the
Bernatz stone mill, on Sunday.
Mr.. Larsen has been in Dakota for
some time working, and the mother
has worked at anything she could find
to do about town to assist in caring
for the family of several small chill
dren. On Sunday she had an oppor-
tunity TO earn something by assisting
in serving dinner at Luther College,
and left the little ones at home, in
care of Clarissa.
Clarissa was getting something to
eat for the children, and reached over
the heating stove to get coffee pot
which was on top of it. her apron
catching fire from the front of the
stove The flames Immediately en-
veloped her, and all ablaze she rushed
ont into the street and towards the
home of Thos. Gilman, then turning
and running toward f. j. Ness.
Hearing her cries Mr. Gilman rushed
to her and tore off her clothing as
best he could, burning both hands
terribly in his effort to save the little
girl. Her hair caught fire twice and
he succeeded in putting it out, but
she had on heavy underclothing which
was baked into her flesh, and before
he could get her clothes all off she
was fatally burned Mrs. Ness rushed
ont with a pail of water and threw it
over her. and they finally succeeded
in putting out the flames.
Mr.. Gilman tenderly wrapped her
in sheet and carried her into the
home of her grandmother, Mrs.
Thompson, and DIR. Dapbcey was
called, and gave her every possible
care. but he at once pronounced her
injuries fatal The flesh was literally
baked, so that it cracked upon touch
ing it.
She was conscious all day Sunday
and Monday until evening, and after
repeating the Lords Prayer to her
pastor became unconscious only about
fifteen minutes before she died.
The heartfelt sympathies of all are
extended TO the grief stricken family
in their sad bereavement.
The funeral services will probabl.,
be held tomorrow Thursday morning
from the home and the First Lutheran
church, with inter1nent in tile Nor
wegian cemetery.

John Jewell a Football Star.

John Jewell is ''some punkins''
among the football enthusiasts at the
Iowa state university, judging from
the following item from the Des
Moines Register and Leader:
"Jewell, one of the lightest men on
the Iowa line squad. did the best
playing of the day, showing the work
of the fierce light man in comparison
with weight and strength combined
with slowness. Evidently John j. is
right there as usual. For lucky
player. yes. and plucky too, he has
them all faded. Jewell made the only
touchdown of the day and his chances
OF making the team are now OF rosy
hue.''
