Mr. R., together with some harness of Mr. Hunt's, were destroyed with the

Mr. Emery Lowe's two youngest girls, Effie and Pearl, are suffering from the
effects of poison, caused by eating seeds of jimson (stramonium) weed. The
facts became known to the family last Saturday at the supper hour, where the
doctor was at once called. He applied the force pump and about 200 seeds
were taken from each one of the children's stomachs. If the facts had not
been known at once the little ones would have been dead before the next
morning. It seems that the children opened the pods and ate the seeds, not
knowing they were poison. The physicians who attended the patients, and
those who assisted them, labored with the children all night, and the happy
result is, their lives will be saved.
