 We regret to learn of a very sad ac- cident which befell Miss Mary. daugh ter of MT. and Mrs. NJ. Davidson, of | Colt, on Tuesday. Her clothing caught on fire while she was attending to some household duties around the kitchen stove. and she ran screaming | into the yard and away from help. Her clothing was almost entirely burned oil of her, and she was frightfully burned. It is thought, however, that II there are no complications she will recover, though she is suffering greatly.
 The Times was in error last week in stating that Miss Jude Davis was to have left last Sunday for Arizona with her brother Arthur and family and also mistaken in stating that Ar thur would resume his duties with the railroad. We have learned since that Arthur resigned his position some time ago, when he became inter- ested in mining enterprise, and since then has devoted his time to tinanc- ing his mining company, and is meeting with much success. He will return to the mine.
