Mrs. Joe Adams Badly Scalded.

Mrs. Joseph Adams, residing south of town, was badly scalded Sunday morning. She was carrying a bucket of scalding water to the back yard to use in scalding a chicken, and tell down as she stepped from the porch. The water struck her lower limbs, scalding the left one quite seriously from the hip ' downward, and also scalding the right limb but less severely. A physician was at once called. Mrs. Adams will be laid up for several weeks.
