A terrible accident occurred last week at the Edmister homestead south of Nez 
Perce, whihc resulted in the death by fire of the two-year-old son of the 
family.  No one witnessed the occurrence.  Mr. and Mrs. Edmister were working 
in the garden about fifty yards from the house when they noticed smoke issuing 
from the doors and windowns.  They hastened to the house when, to their horror, 
they beheld their baby boy lying on the floor dead, with his body almost burned 
to a crisp.  Smoe clothing hanging on the wall was also in flames.  There in no 
clue as to how the child caught fire but it is believed that it obtained 
matches and set fire to its clothing.
