Saturday evening and perhaps not

many people wonder where so many
people come from Stockmen often
meet with one another here that they
would have to go twice the distance
to find at their respective ranches
and by thus making the trip to this
city they kill two birds with one
stone

rebuilt the mill and are now making

Little Gracie Hersheys Clothing Catches
Fire and She is Fatally Burned Before

Last Saturday afternoon about 5
oclock little Gracie aged 3 years 1
month and 10 days daughter of Mr
and Mrs George Hershey while plaj
in with her sister Mary about five
years of age and another little ffirl
set her dress on fire with some
matches which they had in some man
ner procured and as there was no
jrrown person near at hand at the
time the little girl was very badly
burned before her screams aroused
the mother and the neighboring
women who ran to her assistance as
quickty as they couJd the mother
dashing a pail of -water onto the child
and others assisted by tearing and
cutting the remaining fragments of
clothing off from her but the fire
had sc seriousVy burned the little girl
that medical assistance and the care
ful and watchful nursing was of no
xvail except to relieve the terrible
suffering and agony as best they
could and at five minutes before 11

oclock p m she passed quietly away
Mr Hershey being at Woodlake was
wired immediately after the child
was burned and came up on the mid
night passenger but arrived too late
to see his daughter alive Mrs Her
shey bore up with wonderful endur
ance until further help to the little
one was passed and when she- recog
nized that the dear one breathed no
more lost consciousness and so re
mained until Monday The funeral
took place Sunday afternoon services
being conducted at the house by Rev
Oastler A large number of friends
assembled to pay their last tribute to
the departed one Mr and Mrs
Hershey and Grandfather Hershey
have the sympathy of everyone in
their sad bereavement
Words fail to describe the sorrow
that the family feels over the death
of little Grace and more especially
because of the manner of the afflic
tion as they lost their only son four
years ago by his falling into a tub of
hot water and by the death of another
child a little over oneyear ago by
sickness their sorrow is made unus
ually great
