Child's Burns Proved Fatal

Hyattsville, Md., Oct. 28. Katherine, the five-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John WALSH, of Railroad Avenue, this town, died Tuesday from the effects of burns received while playing around a fire in the back yard of her parents' residence. The children had made a fire of leaves and were playing near it when a sudden gust of wind fanned the flames toward Katherine, igniting her clothes. Her injuries proved fatal in a few hours.
