Four-year-old Herbert Wallace, left alone in House. Ignites His Clothes - Leaps Into Water Trough.
Hornell, Dec 5 (Special)-While trying to light a fire in a pan in his home in Arkport yesterday, Herbert Wallace, four years of age, was fatally burned. He died last night. The boy was left alone in the house at the time and as soon as the fire caught in his clothes, he ran out of the house and jumped into a water trough. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wallace.
