Prompt Work This Morning- Saved the Life of Elwood, Son of Benjamin Bach-man Bach-man Jr. This morning at about 10 o'clock Mrs. Benjamin Bachman Jr., and those who happened to be about the residence were treated to a mighty scare, and it is a wonder that little 2-year old Elwood is now alive. Mrs. Bachman was over at T. E. Thurman's residence calling for a few moments. She had left her son play ing in the house. The hired girl was up stairs at work. Looking across frum Mrs. Thurman's Mrs. Bachman saw her darling boy running back and forth, his clothes all ablaze. The child's screams brought the girl to his rescue before his mother could reach him, who tore the boy's clothes from him. In doing so the girl burned her hands badly. The child was badly burned on the right leg and some about the abdomen. A doctor was called, who, after examination, exam-ination, stated that although very painful, pain-ful, the burn is not at all dangerous. In eome unaccountable manner the child in his play found some matches. |
