Baby Badly Burned

A ten-month-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Mahlon Cochanor who lived on the Stebbins farm south of town was seriously burned about the face and arms Thursday night while playing on the floor of the kitchen.

The mother was absent from the room at the time and dos not know how the fire caught in the child's clothing. It is supposed that eh other children were playing with fire and by accident set fire to the baby's clothing.
