Two Fatalities at Sumner.
Sumner, July 10.-—The 8 year old daughter of a farmer named Clowse, in attempting to light a bunch of hay, caught the fire in her dress and was enveloped in flames before she became aware of it. In her fright and agony she plunged into the creek near by, but her body was so badly burned the flesh fell from the limbs. She will not recover.
