POISONED FROM EATING ARsENIc.-Tbe s.
f. Bulletin Of April 9th contains the follow
ing:
Coroner Letterman was informed yesterday
that a young lady died in the city, the cir
cumstances of whose death required investi-
CATION. 1t was ascertained that the name of
the deceased was belinda Cook; her resi-
dence No. 404 Shipley street, near Eighth,
and that the cause of her death was poison.
She was to have been buried Yesterday after
noon, but the Coroner ordered the funeral
postponed, took charge of the remains and
held in inquest in the evening. From the
testimony we learn that the young lady was
very healthy and had a ruddy complexion,
and it was to tone the latter down a little
that she took tie poison which destroyed her
life. From the facts elected Miss Cook
seems to have been entirely ignorant of the
use of the material, which she purchased at
|. ll6 Folsom street. On Saturday afternoon
Miss Cook was suddenly taken i'll. and when
questioned, stated that she had taken nearly
teaspoonfu of the arsenic When informed
that she had taken a deadly poison and her
life could not be saved, she was greatly as
tonished and horri6ed. The attending phys
icians spared no pains to save her life, but
all efforts proved unavaling, and at one
O'Clock Sunday morning death relieved her OF
her terrible sufferings. The jury found a
verdict to the effect that deceased came to
her death. April 25th. by having taken a
dose of arsenic for the purpose OF beautlfying
her complexion; and the jury is of the opin
ion that the druggist is exceedingly repre-
hensible for selling it to her without phys
ician's prescription.

CRoP PRosEcTs. Within the past few days
we have conversed with quite a number of
farmers from different portions of the county
in relation to the condition of the growing
crops, and were surprised to learn that the
prospects for a plentiful harvest are decided
ly unfavorable. Wheat barley and oats a-e
commencing to head out short, and the stem
is generally stunted and slender. Plenty Of
rain seems to have fallen, but it did not come
at the right time. The cold winds which
generally prevailed this spring for several
days after rain falls, s,.also injured and retard-
ed the growth of the crops. 1t is hoped
however. that the unusually large amount OF
ground sown this year will make up the def
cheney occasioned by the unfavorableness of
the season.

INDIAN ToM.-The manner IN whlcn this
desnerado effected his escape proves that he
is far more sagacious and enterprlslng tnah
the majority of his race. The cell in which
be was confined is built of brick, inside OF
the iail building. and lined with sheet iron
The floor is of three inch plank, spiked down
with eight inch spikes. Between the cell
\ wall and the outer wall of the Jail is space
of about four, feet, which is filed in with
earth up to the plank roofing. The ends of
several of the sleepers on which the cell floor
is laid have nearly rotted off where they en-
tered the wall. This SO loosened the plank
next to the wall that Tom was enabled to pull
three of them up. He then dug a hole
through the cell wall. below the line of the
floor, tunneled through the four foot space
between the inner and outer walls, dug under
the outer wall at point four feet below the
surface Of the ground on the outside of the
Jail, and gophered his way to the surface
The only implement be had to aid him in all
this work was one of the eight inch iron
spikes used to fasten down the floor. The
work was performed at night, without light,
aud with shackes encumbering the legs of
the operator.
The next night after bis escape the des-
perado made bis appearance at rancheria
near George McFaflin's, on Flat Creek. and
ordered an Indian to go into Macs black
smith shop and get file to take his shackles
off His demand was complied with and he
soon filed off bis irons, got some food, and
left after telling the Indians to tell Billy
Jackson that he was all right again.
