SWALLOWED POISOX.
A Llttlo Boy Takes HoiiRh on Kals-lla
Will Recover.
The little 7-year-old child of Mr. and
Mrs. William Hollenback. of No. 24
Copeland avenue, had a mostt narrow
scape from being poisoned by eatlnff
a cake on which was a large quantlty
ct n-Uffh on rats.
On arising In the morning the lltt'e
fellow was hungry, and as breakfast
was not ready, went to the pantry tu
find something. There was some cake
tlire, and to thi he tu-lped himself.
After eating this he took another piece,
which had the poison on It.
Soon p.!tr the family sat down to
breakfast, but Harry said he was not
fivling very good, and did not want
anything to eat. He said that he had
eaten sime cake, but his mother did
net think that had taken nil Ills appe
tite. On being further questioned the
rh'ld told where he l.;id foui.d thi
rake, and the mother was horrified to
find that he had eaten cake on which
there was vouch or. rats. No:liln ei'i
e press the r-irlble anxiety and fright
which she suffered, but did not los
h-r rrcsence of mind. Sending for .
physician, till he arrived she did all
that was possible. A home-made
emetic was administered and this did
the work before the doctor arrived.
Pr. A. Nlles responded to the call,
and. on his arrival, at once set about
relieving the pain which the child was
suffering. What the result would be
was awaited with great anxiety, but
the symptoms finally turned in the
right " direction and the child pro
nounced out of danger.
HOLD CHICKEN THIEVES.
Many Fancy Fowls Taken by a Midnight
Prowler.
After having kept quiet for some lit
tle time the chicken thieves who have
been such a terror to bird fanciers in
this vicinity have once more made their
nppearunce and taken with them sev
eral valuable fowls owned by a promi
nent West Side man.
The victim of this most audacious
robbery was Patrick Holand. a fowl
fancier. Mr. Holand has a large num
ber of chickens, which h has raisd.
Rtime of them being of a very valuable
variety am which have cost quite an
outlay of money. I'p to this time he
r:nd never been troubled by thieves and
felt quite secure acalnst them, but
Sunday night some one entered his hen
house and made off with about twenty
five of the chickens. N'ot being content
with taUng the chickens, he took the
most valuable ones, among which were
three which had been imported at a
cost of J16.H0.
After having secured his prey the rob
ber proceeded to execute them, using a
wheelbarrow as a chopping block, and
with a hatchet cut off their heads, leav
ing them upon the premises.
The owner of th fowls is much In
censed over the loss, and will make a
vigorous search for the offender, and If
caught he will be mad to suffer dearly
f ir his liking for fancy chickens. The
Iofs Is estimated at between (20 and $30.
IIORRim.E FATE.
Michael Fritz Smothered to Death In a
Culm Chute.
The Richmondale colliery, some dis
tance north of this city, was the scene
of a terrible accident In which Michael
Fritz, a carpenter, who was engaged
constructing culm conveyers near the
top of a large culm chute, lost his life.
Fritz was working at the top of a
large culm chute when In some manner
which ever remains unknown, he lost
his footing. His comrades working
about him heard his cry and turned
Just In time to see him go headlong
Inn the chute. They rushed to the
spot, but they could do nothing, as their
companion was already beyond human
aid. The chute proved a death trap,
and when he fell into It was at once
smothered to death by the culm, which
completely covered him.
The chute Is about thirty feet long,
and when the mouth of it was reached
Fritz was found dead. The unfortu
nate man was 40 years of age and is
survived by a wife only. He was of
German descent.
