A Little Girl Named Annie Scott Fatally Burned [...] 

  Suffolk, Va., April 3. - (Special) - [...] 

  LITTLE GIRL FATALLY BURNED. - Mr. James Scott, of Southampton county, 
recently sent his son Arthur to burn the grass from a piece of land. 
The boy was accompanied by his five-year old sister Annie, who ventured 
too near the blaze, and her clothing was ignited.  The efforts of the 
children to extinguish the flames were futile, and the little girl 
received injuries which terminated in her death after eight hours of 
torture.
