Child Badly Burned.

A 4 year child of Beach Peterson, in the northeast part of town, was very badly burned, this morning. Its clothing was set on fire by another child playing with a match. It was burned over the breast and left arm. Dr. Moore, who is treating the child says the burns are. extensive and very severe but that it is too soon to say if they are likely to prove very dangerous or not.
