MOTHER AND SON ARE
BOTH BADLY SCALDED

Huntington, w. Va, Aug. &C.
| While doing her family washing for
the week yesterday, Mrs. G.. M. Bail

ed boiler Of scalding water on her
self and her ten-year-old son, Carl,
the result being that both were hor-
r1bly scalded. While their injuries
are serious, there is thought to be
no danger Of fatalities.
Mrs. Bailey was engaged in re-
moving clothes which had been boil
ed from boiler on the kitchen
stove. AS she removed the various
articles from the kettle she clapped
them in the pan which was sitting on
the end Of the kettle itself. Finally
the weight Of the pan became so
great that it tipped the kettle out
OF which the Scalding water poured
nDon her and the little fellow, who
was playing about her feet. The
clothes from the pan also fell on
them and their pressure caused the
scalddng water to burn more deep1v
than It would otherwise have done.
Mrs. Bailey was burned about the
arms and lower limbs, while the boy
was burned from his knees down
ward SO severely that the skin fell
away from his flesh.
DR.. Ira Clay Hicks was summoned
and attended the injuries Of Mrs.
Bailey and her son. The boy is ex~
Dccted to recover quickly, but it is
feared that his mother will not be
restored to health for some time.
