NELLIE GRAY

       Another victim has been added to the fire fiend.  Little Nellie Gray was curling her hair with curling irons when her dress caught fire in some way, and she ran screaming into the yard.  Her mother ran after her and caught her in the yard and extinguished the flames, but not before the little girl was so badly burned that she died.  The mother's clothing caught fire and she was severly burned in extinguishing the flames.  The little girl's father is a physician at Rogers.
