Deery of Truman, near Calamine,

neck and back, one week ago. She
and her little brother, four years of
age were in the house alone for few
minutes, and the cause of the fire is
unknown. There was one burner of
an oil stove burning and the only
thing that can explain the accident is
that the little brother secured a
burned match and lit it at the fame
OF the stove and it accidentally
caught the little girls dress afire.
DR.. Quinn was called and relieved
