It came from the north and has played havoc with the wires in many places. So many operators being away from their posts for Christmas makes reports from many points impossible, but the Western Union in a general way declares the storm to be very n severe. | room. TERRIELE ACCIDENT. Little Mona Ruble Burned to Death. One of the most heart-rending ac cidents which ever occurred in our county was the burning of little Mona, the five-year old daughter of Mr and Mrs. Geo. W. Ruble. Last Thursday morning Mrs. Ruble went | upstrairs and left the little girl and ja little boy playing in the front The boy stepped oat doors and returning almost immediately discovered the girl's clothing on fire. The children began screaming and Mrs. Ruble hastened down stairs to her daughter's assistance but be fore she could extinguish the flames the child was so badly burned that she could not tell how the accident occurred. It is supposed that she endeavored to get something from the mautle and her clothing took fire from the open grate. Dr. Boulware was summoned but the burns were too severe for medical skill and she died that evening at 8 o'clock A strauge fatality seemed tc fol low this little girl through her short life. When but two years of age she fell from a buggy and broke her leg. Last spring she was in a cart with her mother and fell through the bottom and was dragged for half a mile by the runaway horse. For months her life was despaired of, but she had fully recovered when this last and fatal accident occurred. Little Mona was in her sixth year; possessed of a sweet disposi tion.and was the idol of her parents, who have the sympathy of all good people in their terrible afiliction. It is said that Mrs. Ruble had made a doll nearly as large as Mona, which was meant for her Christmas surprise. The doll was buried in the coffin with the little girl.
