COad Babies Burned
With Powdered I've

A sad accident occurred Tuesday
morning when eleven months.old
Francis Coad. little son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ray Coad, was severely burn
ed by I've, probably used on him
by his little two-and a-haH- year
old brother William as he had
often seen his mother powder the
little fellow. Mrs. Coad found it
necessary during the morning to
be away for a few minutes, and to
be really sure that the babies
would be safe. she waited until
they walked from their maps, and
tied each in his little chair. When
she returned the sight caused her
to faint. As she revived, Wheeler
Boyd, agent for an insurance
company, was at the door, and.
hearing her screams for doctor.
he went into the Cribbis home and
called DR.. Fraser, who quickly
responded and soon had the little
fellows burns about his face and
neck and hands covered with a
cooling. healing salve. The injur.
ed portions of the skin have turn
ed very dark. but his extreme
youth makes it possible that scars
will not remain. He is a patient
little sufferer, seldom crying out,
though the pain must be intense.
Little Williams tongue and one
side of his face are burned. He
had loosed the band which held
him in his chair, climbed upon the
kitchen sink, and reached up into
medicine cabinet to get the can
of I've.
Mrs. Coad is very careful
mother, very proud of her little
boys. and the sincerest sympathy
of her friends and neighbors is ex-
tended her.
LATER
Little Francis Coad died Friday
evening at $50. The burns were
too severe for the little fellow to
recover.

Offenders
Brought TO Time

The office of the Opera House
was entered last Saturday night
and the contents of the cash box
amounting to s1O1.75 stolen. Sus-
picion soon fell upon two local
youths, Clyde Daily and George
Snyder, who were soon placed
under arrest by Deputy Sheriff
George Straub. Young Daily at
first stoutly denied the charge but
when pressure was brought to bear
he confessed and the cash was re-
covered. The boys had had no
time to squander it. The cash had
been hid by Daily's younger sister,
it is said.
At a preliminary examination
held before Judge Wilkins Tues
day Daily pleaded guilty and from
his own testimony it was shown
that he was the instigator of the
crime and had been the means OF
inducing the other boy to aid him
i'll the robbery. Daily's bond was
placed at $500, and being unable tc
produce the same he was taken tc
the county Jail Wednesday morn.
ing by the sheriff.
The Snyder boy was placed
under bonds of $3.50, but was re.
leased on his own recognizance
upon the promise of his mother
grandfather and uncle to present
him in court whenever called for
The affair is to be regretted by
everybody and it is hoped that the
boys can be corrected before they
travel too far on the road that is
wide but crooked.

H. L. Roberts collected $4,000;
