Little Kate Holman, six year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Holman of Mason City, died at the City hospital after her clothing had been entirely burned from her body, when she dared little girl companions to jump in a bonfire behind a drug store. Jumping the fire, her dress caught fire and she ran screaming across a vacant lot, the other little girls running home.
