Sheary, succumbed to terrible burns at the Lewistown Hospital Sunday after suffering great agony, Saturday while working about a gas stove, the girl’s apron ignited, and realizing her danger, she ran outdoors where a stiff breeze fanned the flames. Two-thirds of her body was seriously burned before John Eisenhauer and Milton Ruble extinguished the flames by rolling the girl in a carpet.
