Evelyn Barr, the three-year-old daughter of H. W. Barr, of Wasa, died at the Cottage Hospital last Satur­day within three hours after she ar­rived, having been hurried in after being accidentally burned while at the farm about twenty-five miles from Cranbrook. When she arrived at the hospital and the doctor was summon­ed it was found that she was very seriously burned. The accident is supposed to have been caused from playing with matches. Funeral ser­vices were held at the Barr residence at Wasa on the Sabbath morning and were conducted by Mr. J. A. Walker, M.A., of Fort Steele. Mr. Barr has the sympathy of a large circle of Cranbrook friends, who sincerely sympathize with him in his sad loss.
