It befalls our lot to chronicle one of the saddest and most heart rendering mishaps that ever occurred in this community. Yesterday afternoon at about half past four o'clock, in the absence of her father and. mother, Mr.

and 'Mrs. G. W. Winkle, Miss Katie Winkle, aged about thirteen years, a twin sister to Miss Dollie Winkel, kindled a fire, in the kitchen stove. 'J She told the folks that at first the fire didn't burn, bnt only smoked a little, so she put some coal oil in an oyster' can and carefully poured it in the stove, after which she.

retired from the room and in a little while came back and, lifted the stove lid to to see if the fire was burning. She then turned -her back to the stove, when all at once a big puff of fire and smoke forced its way from the stove and set her clothes on fire. She, being all alone, of course couldn't help herself to any advantage, although she did attempt to pour on some water that was near by, but failing in that, she ran across the road to the residence of Mr. Ayers, "at which place a young man put cut the fire and carried her over home. All of her clothes were completely burned.

Her body was also very badly burned, especially on the back. After the arrival of Dr. Sippy. she rested easy, until about 7 o'clock this morning, at which time death came as a result of this terrible misfortune. The funeral will be held at the Church of Christ in this city tomorrow morning' at 11 o'clock.

The bereaved family and "relatives have the utmost sympathy of the entire com munity in this, their he ur of affliction. Belle Plainc Defender. SKIRTS justice, attorney, etc. When it, was found that he could, not be1 arraigned until this morning, Mr. McLain went back and told the jail officials to put Kowirig up stairs, as they would have to keep him all night.

Rowing had been in the cell about half an hour when his cell was opened and: the orisoner had -disappeared. A hole was noticed in the floor and the pris oner was 'discovered underneath. He had broken the rotten boards on the floor of the- cell with a stove poker and then crawling underneath to the wall had almost dug his way out when discovered. He had torn away the inside woodwork and had a hole through the brick wall almost large enough to crawl through. Ten min utes more and he would have been outside.

The woodwork in the lower part of the old jail building is rotten and a prisoner can dig his way out with but very little exertion, as a prison this part of the jail is about as good as a barn with ttie uoor open.
