Last Sunday about 4 o'clock fire was discovered in the barn belonging to Father Horner, on his pasture lots, located near the creamery and occupied at present by William Ramey. Mr. Ramey was in the country and had his horses and double buggy with him, which were saved. A nice top buggy, beloning to Mr. R., together with some harness of Mr. Hunt's, were destroyed with the barn. The building was a total loss.
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.
