4 story OF q mos. horrible death
from thirst comes from near Graysor,
California. 4 young man who had
been employed as hand in harvest
field got ON spree q: q saloon about
ten miles from Grayson last Wednesday
afternoon. The young man got pretty
drunk and wandered down tho roud
about mile from the sEloon, and lay
down and went to sleep. He wGs reen
lying here the next day by persons who
passed with teams, but no attention
was paid TO him on the supposi,iun that
he was only drunk and not worthy Of
attention. During the day, Thursday,
he frequently asked the passers-by for
drink, but hiu appeals were unnoticed
being considered the requests of q
drunk for more drink. Before the day
was out he seemed to be delirious, bnt
no notice was taken of him. The
second day. Friday, his tongue pro-
truded from his mouth and was much
swollen. aud the piteous appeals were
still made. Finally tender hearted
butcher passed that way and he saw
that the mnn was suffering horrible
agony. He lifted him to his wagon
and took him to Grayson, where he
soon died. 1t was nscertnined that he
died from thirst. He lay nearly two
days in the hot scalding rays of the
sun, helpless and doomed. The inhab-
itants Of that vicinity are said to feel
terribly over the occurrence.
