CHILD FALLS INTO FIREPLACE
 AND SUSTAINS HORRIBLE BURNS
Little Daughter or Dr. Rodman Falls Into Fire Sustaining Burns That Result
 In Her Death

Mesho, the little daughter of Dr. T. N. Rodman, fell into the fireplace at the family resi- dence here this morning about 9 o'clock and was horribly burned.
 The little face was horribly burned and the flesh of it's en- tire body burned almost to a crisp. When physicians arrived immediately after the deplor- able accident, it was at first thought that death would re- suit in a few minutes, but the little tot fingered until about 1 o'clock when it's spirit took it's flight.
 The other children had gone to school and the little tot was playing about the fireplace while the housekeeper was busy with her duties about the house. The child walked too close to the fireplace and lost it's balance and fell into the fire. It's face and hands were horribly burned, all the hair burned off it's head and the entire body burned almost to crisp.
 The little tot was about three years old, a bright and lovable little girl, and has been the idol of the home, especially since the death of her mother, which occurred a few months ago. The deplorable accident is a distinct shock to the en- tire town and is deeply regret ted by all.

BOLD DAYLIGHT BANK
 ROBBERY ATRAVENDEN
After Compelling Cashier to Hand Over Money, Bold Rob-
 bers Make Their Getaway

Ravenden, Dec. 19.-Two unmasked men entered the Bank of Ravenden at 1::30 o'clock this afternoon, held up the cashier and two patrons at the point of revolvers andmade their escape with approximate ly $1,500 in cash. A half hour later they had entered the dense woods near the town, in Lawrence county, and it is be- lieved tonight that they have an excellent chance to escape. Officers in nearby towns are on the lookout for them. The bank is fully protected by in- surance.
 Due to the presence of the mind of the cashier of the bank N. R. Moore, the bandits left $2,000 in the safe.
 The two men entered the bank casually, and aroused no suspicion. One of them laid a check on the counter, asking Moore if he could cash it. Moore turned aside for a mo- ment, and as he did so the two men drew guns, with which they covered Moore and two customers, Ora Wells and Jas. Hill. The latter they lined up against the wall, while they rifled the cash drawer and forced Moore to give them the money in the safe. Moore took out the money in the cash box, which, with that in the drawer, amounted to between $1,200 and $1,500, and gave it to them. In the bottom of the safe covered with empty bags and a piece of carpet, was $2,000, which Moore left undisturbed. The money secured by the rob- bers was in currency, gold and silver. The exact amount can be determined only by care full checking up.
 The robbery consummated, the bandits told Moore, Wells and Hill to go into another room of the bank building, and there they forced them to lie upon their faces while they left the bank. As soon as he heard the door close behind the two men, Moore arose and hurried ly organized a pursuing party, which included himself, c. w. Milford, Ernest Ball, John l.. Baird and Frank Bragg. The five men armed themselves and started in pursuit of the rob- bers, who had walked out of the town in sight of many peo- pie. The trail led half mile

east of town, then north into the thick woods of the hills, where all trace of the bandits was lost. The sheriff was call ed,- and all towns in the district notified. No posse kept up the search during the night, as the wild nature of the country would render such search fu- tile. Bloodhounds could not be obtained.
 Moore says he would be able to identify the two men. They were of about the same size and appearance. Each was about 40 pounds in weight. five feet, nine inches tall. and about 30 or 35 years old. They wore dark blue coats, corduroy trousers, black soft hats, black shoes, and were clean-shaven. They were seen in town during the day, loafing about the cot ton gin.
 The Bank of Ravenden is a state institution, capitalized at S1O,O00. The president is T. J. Sharum of Walnut Ridge.
