II YEAR OLD GIRL
MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH.

Miss Gracey Huey, step-daugh.
ter Of Uncle" Jeems Long A
well known farmer of the upper
bottom, met a tragic and painful
death late Friday evening, when
she was burned to death by
flames which she is supposed to
have deliberately applied to her
clothing. Gracey was about IL
years old and feeble minded. The
parents necessarily kept close
watch on the child to prevent her
doing herself an injury.
About A o'clock Friday after.
noon, during the approach of a
bad looking storm, Gracey was
missed by her mother. Another
child was sent to make a search
for Gracey and found her at a
considerable distance from the
home in a corn field, clothing a.
blaze and crying in agony. The
child ran for assistance. Mr..
Long hurried TO the unfortunate
girl and tore from her body, as
best he could, the burning cloth
ing-but too late. The deadly
blaze had done its work and left
the body a mass of tortured
flesh. She was carried TO the
house and suffered untold agony
until 7 o'clock, when death re-
lieved her Before a phone could
be reached to call a physician,
the storm struck and cut off com
munication, and it was necessary
to send man on horseback the
six miles. The physician arrived
too late. Gracey's soul went out
on the wings of the storm, and
the close of the day found the
weary body at peace.
As there was no open fire a.
bout the place, it is presumed the
child must have gotten hold OF
some matches in an unguarded mo-
ment, and not realizing the aw-
full consequences, set fire TO her
dress. A couple of years ago she
drank the contents of an iodine
bottle and came near losing her
life as result. Since then, harS.
Long has kept close watch on
her unfortunate daughter to pre-
vent her from meeting with ac-.
cidents.
The venerable and bereaved
parents have the sympathy of
their many friends in this sad
hour.
