East Pittston Girl Burned
So Badly will Die
Matches and Kerosene Gan
Thought 10 Be Responsible.
With Clothes AbIaze Child Runs
Screaming to Mother in Dooryard.

Bertha Goss, the 3-year-o daugh-
ter Of Peter Goss, farmer living
on the Mast road, East Pittston, was
so horribly burned Tuesday night
about $50 that it is not believed the
little girl can possibly live until morn
ing. Every yistige Of the .child's
clothes except her shoes and stockings
We're burned from her ana the body
above the knees and the little face
were frightfully burned.
The father was in the barn milking
at the time the accident occurred and
the mother had just stepped into the
yard to take in some clothes. Mrs.
Goss had been in the yard but few
moments when She was Mortified to
soc little Bertha come running to her
screaming as loud as she could with
her childish voice and her clothes COM
plctcly enveloped in flames, Hearing
the cries Mr.. GoSs rushed from the
barn and the frantic father and mother
after hard struggle succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames.
Before they could put the fire out
the clothing of the child had been re-
duced to a few charred rags and the
blackened and blistered body Of the
little girl could hardly be recognized
DR.. Odiornc was called ana did all in
his power to relieve the sufferings of
the little one. But many of the burns
are deep and some of them near vital
parts and it is not thought that the
child can possibly survive
A II O'Clock last night the child was
still alive. although the physician in
attendance stated that he saw no pos
sible hope for her recovery. She was
given mcdincine during the night of
nature to deaden the intense pain of
the burns and keep her from suffer-
ing 1t is thought that the girl set
firt to herself by splitting kerosene and
dropping a lighted match upon it, and
places of kerosene We're found, and
several burned matches. about the
kitchen floor. where the child had been
at play before she rushed out of doors
with her clothing on fire.
