A Horrible Death.
On last Sunday morning one of
the most horrible and saddest
dentils occured in this town. It
was the death of little Hazt
Christine Coliior, the seven
months old baby of Mr. and Mrs
D. Collier. The mother had
placed the little tot on a pallet in
her room about 7:30 in the morn-
ing and had gone into the kitchen
to prepare breakfast, and only
two little girls were wTith her in
the house at the time. She had
only been in the kitchen a few
minutes when she sent one of the
little girls back to look after the
baby. On entering the room she
did not see jt on the floor any-
where, so she looked under the
bed but it was not there, glanc-
ing at tire life place there the lit-
tle baby lay with one side of its
face and its hands burned to a
crisp. It had crawled to the
tire place and its clothes were ig-
nited and burned it to death in
these few minutes. The mother
was almost distracted and in a
frantic manner to rescue the
child she received a severe burn
on the hand.
The father, who works with
the bridge crew on the H. E. &
W. T. was in Corrigan and was
unable'to reach home until that
afternoon. Friends called at the
home and did all they could to
console the grief stricken moth-
er. The corpse was carried to
Leggett Monday for burial,
