 SUFFOLK,  VA.,  February  13.-(Spe- 
cial.)-A young daughter of Mr. M. A. 
Mumford, of Southampton county, was 
burned to death on her father's farm 
last Monday. 
 The hands had fires built in the field 
to warm by, and in some way the little 
one's dress became ignited.  She ran 
acrooss the field screaming for help, but 
before she could be overtaken, the flames 
had done their deadly work. 
 She was buried Tuesday afternoon.
