The 2-year-old son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Clifford Bailey who reside on South
Second street. was painfully burned
Thursday noon when he fell into a
large pan of hot starch which had been
placed outdoors to cool by his mother.
The child was playing around the
house and in running past the pan Of
hot starch fell into it. The fact that
he wore thick clothing it is thought
prevented burns, that might have en-
dangered the child's life. He is Sc
verely burned about the face and arms
but it is thought that he will get along
nicely and that no serious results will
be had.
