Scalded to Death.
Lawler Dispatch:—A most destressing accident occured at the home of W. H. Downing west of town last Thursday. The three-year-old son of Mr. Downing while playing, accidently upset a kettle of boiling hot brine upon himself, scalding so severely that he died Friday morning after enduring most intense suffering.
