Burned To Death. 
Little Cora Privett Dead as the Result of Burns.
Frank P. SINGER and another neighbor were in the city Monday morning for a
burial casket for the burial of a child who had been burned to death last
Sunday, on the county line between Harper and Sumber counties. From them we
glean the following:
A farmer named James PRIVETT, who lives just across the line in Sumner county,
had lost a wrench or farm tool of some sort in the grass near his resident last
Sunday, and in an effort to find it, set fire to the grass. After having put out
the fire, as he thought, and gone to the barn, Mr. Privett was attracted to the
screams of his little four year old daughter who was runing toward him with her
clothing on fire. Being at some distance form the child the father could not
reach her in time to prevent the fatal results. The accident happened about noon
and the little girl died at 10 o'clock the same evening. She was buried last
Tuesday in the Singer cemetery after appropriate services at the school house
conducted by Rev. Stevenson.
