Boy AmpHtateS Sisters Hand.
w. Il. NIILTON, Agent

While playing around the wood
pile one day last week, the little
3-year-old daughter of Mr.. j. f.
Zombro, one of our best farmers,
had two fingers on her right hand
completely severed by an axe in the
hands of her 6-year-old brother.
DIR. j. f. Harris was hurriedly
summoned and rendered the neceS-
sary surgical attention, and the
little girl is now rapidly recover
ing, although she will be manned
for life.
1t was entirely an accident, as
the little boy was trying to split a
block which his sister was holding,
but the grief of the little boy was
pitiful in the extreme, and he re-
fused to eat anything for two days
while the little girl suffered.

Fatally Burned While Insane.

Mrs. Lizzie Tumblin, wife of
Walter Tumblin. and mother OF
several small children, who has
been mentally deranged at times
for the past few years, was horribly
burned in the County Jail yester-
day afternoon.
Mrs. Tumblin had been twice
sent to the Eastern Hospital at
StauntoD, and each time had been
released on parole as improving.
She was sent 10 StauntOn the second
time last June, and had returned
from Staunton on Friday of last
week, and was apparently in
good condition. On Sunday she
became violent and was brought to
Berryville for safety. In the Jail
she was violent. and was placed in
a cell so that she would not iniure
herself.
Yesterday afternoon an odor of
smoke was noticed in the Jail.
and investigation disclosed the fac,
that Mrs Tumhlin had pulled a
quantity OF straw out uf her mat
treSS, and. placing the straw upon
the floor. had partially diSrobcd.
sat down in the straw and set it
a6re.
\" matches are allowed within
reach of the prisoners. and it is
supposed that she had the matches
concealed about her person when
She was taken 90 the Jail on Sunday.
A. showing the trend of her mind
she remarked 20 DIR. Harris. the
jail physician, on Monday morn
ing. that she was being Kept in the
jail because she had burned her
body.
Her body was burned almost to
a crisp. and her sufferings were
most pitifuI, although she did not
realize her danger on account of
her state of mind.
1t Is one of the most pitiful and
touching cases that has ever come
under orr observation
An attendant from the Eastern
Hospital arrived here last night
and returned To Staunton on the
3.l3 train this morning with Mrs.
Tumblin. They expected to reach
Stanton about { a. m.
While her condition is thought
To be critical, on account of the
burns, she was buoyed up by the
stimulantS and sedatives which had
been administered after being burn
ed, and it is not thought that the
reaction from the shock will be
observed before this afternoon.
The fact that there Is no facilities
IN the Jail here for treating the
sick was an important factor in
allowing the hospital attendant tc
take her away.
