Mary Russell, the 6-year old daughter of Roy Russell, a farmer living 13 miles from Guthrie Center, was so badly burned while playing near a bonfire that she is not expected to live. Mary was watching a straw stack being burned when her clothes caught fire. They rolled her on the ground, but before they were extinguished two-thirds of her body was charred. Her father put her in an automobile and in a record-breaking run took her to Guthrie Center for medical treatment.
