CHILD FATALLY BURNED
Son of Dr. B. B. Allder of Cane Hill Died of Burns
George, the 22-month-old son of Dr. and Mrs. B. B. Allder of Cane Hill, was so badly burned on Monday afternoon, November 24th, that death came at two o'clock Tuesday morning.
The child had been playing in an upstair bedroom when he cried out as if in pain. His aunt, Miss Etta Allder, who was in the house at the time, ran to the room and saw him wrapped in flames. Miss Allder smothered the fire with bed clothing as soon as possible. It seemed that the child had placed a chair near the dressed, had found a match on a dresser, and had climbed down and succeeded in striking it and his clothing caught fire. The clothes were burned so badly that they were easily torn from his body, and the injuries were so severe that death came to relieve him in about ten hours.
Mrs. Allder, the mother, was out of the house at the time.
The heartbroken parents and other relatives have the deepest sympathy of all who have heard of the sad accident. - Stockton Republican.
