A Little Child Terribly Scalded.

A sad accident occured in the northwest part of town, a little before 10 o’clock, this Monday morning. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Al Ramey pulled a tub of hot water over upon itself and was terribly scalded. The burns nearly cover the head, one side of the face, one shoulder and arm, and a large part of the obest and side. In all about one third of her body is burned over. Dr. English was called and dressed the burns and did wh"at could be done to relieve the little one’s terribla sufferings. It is too early yet to judge whether the child, will survive its injuries, but as a general rule burns so extensive are fatal. The child is about two years old.
