CHILD IS KILLED
 BY DRINKING LYE Ennis Baker Drank Fluid Last September by
 Mistake

Five months after drinking a quantity of concentrated I've, little Ennis oNeal Baker, aged years, died Thursday night at the home of her sister, Mrs. Bertha Taylor, 2211 Third avenue.
 The concoction causing her death was taken in September by mistake, while playing in the kitchen. The short life of the little girl has been full of trage- dies, which seldom come to one so young. Five years ago, February II, her mother was run over and instantly killed by a street car at Twentieth street and First avenue while the little girl was but a babe. Her father had died only shortly before.
 Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the home of her sister and interment was made in Beleview ceme- tery at Brighton at o'clock.

cred to cut the weeds on their lots.
