ACCIDENT--A most painful and fatal accident occurred on Friday of last week, to the daughter of Mrs. H. B. Hatch living a few miles south of
this place on the Quasqueton road. The little girl, about 10 years old, was playing with other children setting fire to the dry grass,when her clothes took fire and before they could be extinguished, she was so badly burnt that it resulted in death the next morning.
