The 8-year-old son of Peter Como
way, of near Collins Mill. George
town. was burned to death Thursday
afternoon in a fire that destroyed
the barn and seriously menaced the
house. 1t is supposed that the boy
went into the barn and set the hay
on fire as he had been punished
several times for playing with
matches. There was no one home
but a 12-year-old sister, who dis
covered the fire. Neighbors were
called but nothing could be saved.
After the barn was burned, the girl
remembered that her brother had
gone into it to play and searchers
among the ruins found his body.
