Child Dead-Mother Injured.
Denison, Tex., Aug. 5-Thursday evening while the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Willard of 831 West Texas street was playing with a toy stove, her clothing caught fire and she was so severely burned she died this morning. The mother who was very ill with typhoid fever, made a heroic effort to save the child's life, was severely burned herself and is in a very critical condition to-day.
