The n. r. II. Il. SssveviHg Party
Poisoned.
A My&toriOsss A6his..

We referred on Sunday to . acase Of whole.
sale poisoning, the particulars OF which W
were at that time asked to suppress Nj.
Thos. p. Roberts, in charge Of the n. p. r.
Il. survey party. has since arrived In town
and gives Us the following Particular:
The surveying party were camped last
Friday near the mouth Of Flint creek. Al
dinner number Of the party noticed the
tomatoes tasted bitter, and did not eat much
of them, the remark being made that they
tasted as though quininc wss put in them.
The party went to the field ~ usual The
tesmster, who remained in, ate heartily, and
in the evening complained of blindness and
dizzy sensation, and his face and Limbs
were considerably swollen. No suspicion
of poisoning yet occurred, aud the boys
joked him considerably on his overdose Of
of quinine. AT supper the same taste was
noticed In the bread, and but little of it vac
eaten. The Buys, however, had killed SINE
ducks which were fried in gravy in which
there was considerable dour. and these were
eaten. Shortly after. ten Of the party wsrs
taken i'll, Mr.. G. 9. Roberts being the first
aud most seriously seized, and his symp.
toms were those of poison. Shortly after .
Mr.. Griffith, living near, came in and 10.
ported his dog, which had eaten of tho
bread, had died Of poison. This was any.
thing but encouraging 10 the sufferers. DR..
Mitchell was At once summoned and pro-
cccded to Flint creek. lie gave 1t ~ bic
judgment that there Was some strong poison
in the bread, and administered antidotes to
counteract it. AT the present writing, all
arc co" "valcscent or recovering. The follow.
ing a:c the names Of the parties poisoned:
ThOs. P. Roberts. Engineer in charge; G.
G. Roberto. (whose casc was severe and

and E. II. Wilson. Some of them were but
slightly effected. DR.. Mitchell IL making
an analysis of the bread, which, when com.
plctcd, We will give our readers. There arc
strong suspicious Of one Of the party, and
threats were made of lynching him, but ~
no legal action has been taken, it would not

We are very glad 10 know no fatalities en-
sued. aud hope that with new stock OF
supplies the N. p. II. II. surveys will bs
hereafter conducted with less peril to the
