Doris, the fre-year-old daughter of
James Fl. Shea, was seriously burned
when her clothing caught fire Wednes-
day afternoon. The physician who was
hurriedly summoned, found the long,
deep burns of a serious nature, yet
there is a chance of recovery.
The chiId's mother was badly burned
IN pulling off the burning clothing from
the little girl When the child's screams
brought the mother her clothing was all
ablaze.
The alarm of fire on the big whistle
at 6.35 Wednesday evening called out
the department for a blaze in the Joe
Gowaki house on Soule street. TIE fire
| was in the kitchen and when discovered
| a carpet near the stove was ablaze. The
| cry of fire caused an alarm to be turn
! ed in from Wilbur's store, next door.
| The carpet was thrown from the win
dow and the fremen were not needed.
