juno 6.l-On Thursday Mr.. Grant tho

road, was married at Fort Dodge: to a
young lady named Miss York. Numerous
| Invitations were extended to the leading
citizens and their families to be present at
the feast. In the evening the house of
Mrs. York, the BRIDES mother, was thrown
| open, and about . o'clock no less than two
hundred ladies and gentlemen sat down to
partake Of the elegant repast which had
pleasantly till shortly after 10 O'Clock, when
some Of the visitors were taken ill, quite
| suddenly, and had to be removed. Others
were similarly affected in rapid succession,
and presently the horrible suspicion flashed
across the minds of all that they had been
poisoned. The bride and groom became
Ill, and were taken to their room. Every
physician in the city was summoned, but

persons had undergone agonies worse al
most than death. and a number of others
were becoming i'll. DR.. Greason, physt-
cian, after having done all in his power to
relieve forty of the sufferers, was taken
down himself. The effects were certainly
those of poison. In many cases the suffer-
ers were afflicted with temporary paralysis,
| losing all power over their limbs. Almost
all OF them underwent relapse, from
which some may never recover. Various
theories rs to the cause Of the poisoning are

| the cause was the ice-cream. The cream
was secured by Mrs. York, and given to o
contectioner to freeze. In performing the
| work the confectioner used copper re-
| irigerator lined with tin. The confeclioner
had no idea, probably, that the refrigerator
had not been properly cleaned, for he par
