The Dalles Daily Chronicle, Monday, January 26, 1891, page 3 LOCAL BREVITIES J.G. Farley and Robert Mays are in Salem. A.A. Bonney shipped a carload of cattle to Clarnie (Oregon) yesterday. Miss Annie Williams has gone to Tacoma (Washington) to enter the Annie Wright seminary at that place. Mr. Charles Richmond was taken suddenly ill yesterday afternoon with a congestive chill. He is much better today and will be out again in a day or so. Messrs. S.J. LaFrance and Oscar Stranahan of Hood River (Oregon) are in the city, and so is nearly everybody else from that fruitful precinct. An alarm of fire last night was caused by a burning flue at Mr. Rowland's place on the corner of Fourth and Laughlin. There was no damage done. The trip down to the Cascades yesterday was a merry one, but on the way back M.T. Nolan opened a bundle of OREGONIANS and these absorbed the crowd. Messrs. Mosier and Davenport of Mosier (Oregon), both old timers who came here in the early fifties (1850s) are in the city today, and honored our sanctum with a visit. Mr. V.C. Brock of Sherman county Saturday evening turned over to County Treasurer Ruch seventeen Sherman county warrents representing in value the sum of $8,364,96 the amount owing to Wasco (county) according to the settlement agreed upon on the division of the country.

BURNED TO DEATH A sad occurrence was witnessed on Lower Trout on Thursday of last week at the residence of Mr. Linville, in which a little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Linville, about four years of age, lost her life. Mrs. Linville had left two children, aged about two and four years respectively, in the house while she was attending to some work outside the house. During her absence the smaller of the children was playing with a fire poker and with it ignited the clothes of the four-year-old girl, and before Mrs. Linville arrived and put out the flames the little girl was so badly burned that she died from her injuries the following day. The little girl suffered intense pain for twenty-four hours until death came to her relief. The remains were laid to rest at the Hay Creek cemetery on Sunday last.
