ELLAVILLE, Dec. Miss Lou
Use Collins, daughter of fMr. and
Mrs. s. c. Collins, had the misfortune
of being severely burned by having
her clothing ignite while standing
with her back to the fire in the sit
ting room at her home here last
Friday morning. Miss Collins be-
came frightened and ran into the
back yard where her mother caught
her and forced her under a nearby
faucet, turning the water on to ex-
tinguish the flames that almost en-
veloped her.
A physician was hastily summoned,
and pronounced the burns not neces-
sarily fatal, though very painful.
Mrs. Collins hands and face were
badly burned also.
