The four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Williamson was frightfully burned last Thursday, her clothes taking fire while the mother was absent from the house. Mrs. Williamson, says she was absent from the house but a moment when she heard the child's cries and returned in time to save her from a horrible death as one side of the child's body was burned to a crisp, and Dr. Russ, who was called pronounced the patient to be in a critical condition.
