About 12:30 today out on L. B. (Little Berry) Green's place, near Hochheim, the clothing of Minnie, the sweet little 3-year-old daughter of Mr. Zeak (Ezekiel) Ables, caught fire and the little girl was so badly burned that she is likely dead ere this writing. She was standing in front of a fireplace with her back to the fire, when a puff of wind blew her dress into a flame and nearly all her clothing was burned off before the flames were extinguished. Dr.Jones, went out to render what assistance he could, but not yet returned. (Postscript) Minnie, the little daughter of Mr. Zeak Ables, who was badly burned out near Hochheim yesterday died of her injuries a few hours after the accident. The sufferings of the poor little unfortunate were beyond description, and it was a merciful act of Providence that her young spirit was taken back to the Father who gave it.
