Doris Maude Curry, infant daughter of Mr. Thomas Joseph Curry, of Hope's Creek, near Oberon, who accidentally sustained injuries through burning, has succumbed. It appears that the deceas ed was left in the kitchen with her young brother, aged three years, whilst the mother was engaged outside feed ing fowls. Therewas an open fire in the Kitchen at which the child's' cloth- ing caught fire, after which the two children ran to the front door of the house, and by their cries attracted their mother's attention. Mrs. Curry ran to the assistance of tho child, took her in her arms and immediately wrapped a 'blanket round the child with the object of extinguishing the burning clothing. A realtive named George Roberts who was riding past at the time, was attracted by the cries and smoke issuing from the front door. He assisted the mother in rendering first aid, and subsequently conveyed the sad news to the child's father, who was engaged at Tillsbury — about four or five miles distant. The' father re turned with all haste, and upon seeing the condition of the child at once con veyed her in a sulky to Oberon, where she was rendered every possible atten tion by Dr. E. E. Griffiths .Upon' ar- rival at the doctor's surgery, the child was found to have extensive burns about the face, abdomen, and legs, and to be suffering very much from shock.
