GIRL DIES OF BURNS
East Dover Child and Brother
Had Fire Under Arch
Screams Attracted Fathers Attention
Mora Trevarrow Sister of Lillian
Trevarrow of Rice's Restaurant.

Nora Trevarrow, o. daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs William Trevarrow, was so badly
burned Tuesday forenoon while at play
near her fathers sugar house in East
Dover that she died about o clock
Wednesday evening.
While Mr.. Trevarrow was boiling sap on
his farm on Adams hill, which is over the
line in Newfane, the little girl and a
brother, who is a small boy started fire
under a small stone arch which the chill
dren had built, and the girls clothing
caught fire.
Screams by the children were heard by
Mr.. Trevarrow, who rushed out of his
sugar house to find the child enveloped in
flames. Her clothing was nearly burned
off when her father reached her.
DR.. l.. b. Gordon of Williamsville was
summoned, and he found the girl to be in
very serious condition. From the first it
was realized that her recovery was a mat
ter of much doubt.

and was one of family of eight children.
There are four sisters and three brothers
living. The oldest sister is the wife of
Walter Morse of Townshend. Another
sister is Miss Lillian Trevarrow, who is

Going fishing tomorrow? If so 60 duly
and truly prepared. The equipment, first
of all, includes license to fish in this
year 1915, and a second essential is a six
inch measure. Good men have been
mulcted and have had their names printed
in the black book simply because they
had one to three trout more than 512
inches but less than six inches in length
The chances are that but few fish will be
caught on the opening day, but with few
warm days conditions will change rapidly
and within another week the fishing ought
to be in prime condition. The brooks
were filled with an abundance of water
during the summer and fall months of
1915, and the conditions for trout through
the winter have been ideal The little
fishing that has been done in the nearby
streams in New Hampshire since April l
indicates that trout have increased rapidly
and have made good growth in the past
few months. Visitors to the Gulf brook
in Chesterfield reported that almost all OF
the trout that have taken the bait have
been above the six-inch measurement.

According to William Willard Howard,
secretary of the Albanian relief commit
tee, 100000 human beings in Albania have
starved to death in the last Is months and
100000 more are likely to die before nor
NAL conditions are restored in that coun'
try. This is not, however, result of the
war, but is due to famine caused by fail
ure of the crops and to an epidemic OF
typhus. The war has retarded the relief
work to some extent but as the Alba
mans are not participating in the Balkan
conflict their present misery has little CON
nection with the war itself. There will be
an appeal for American sympathy and aid,
because in the present circumstances the
United States is about the only country
to which the suffering Albanians can look
for immediate relief.
