Last Monday morning while Mrs. Wm. Bauer was busy doing the family washing her little thirteen months old child in some manner pulled the plug from the washing machine. The hot water from the machine spurted over the child, scalding it quite badly. A physician was immediately called and the little one cared for and at last reports it was getting along as well as could be expected.
