A Little Child’s Horrible Death.

CENTRALIA, Aug. 15.—Mary Wrentzel, daughter of Jacob Wrentzel, living near here, was fatally scalded this afternoon. Her mother went out to borrow something from a neighbor, leaving her child, which was but two years old, lying on the floor.

The mother is frantic with grief.
