Sad Accident to a Child.

The four-year-old daughter of C. A. Hildebrand, proprietor of the Commercial Hotel, was severely burned Sunday evening about 6:30 and died three or four hours later. She was playing alone in the parlor, presumably with matches and paper, when suddenly the child began to scream so that it attracted the attention of the father. He rushed into the room, caught the child up in his arms, all aflame, and rushed frantically about with it hardly realizing what to do. His hands were burned in the operation.
