Mrs. Perkins died yesterday morning in
Berkeley, and she was the third member of
the same family who has died within a few
days, the others being a son and q
daughter. An investigation was made, and
it is 10Y stated that they were all poisoned
by eating canned corn. 1t seems that some
of the boys found some cans of corn which
had been thrown away at the cannery in
Temescall, and this was taken home and
cooked and eaten, with the fatal results.
The victims OF the Hanford tragedy were
buried yesterday. All business was closed,
and the whole populace attended the obse-
quies. An autopsy has been made on the
body OF Hart, but no evidence has yet been
taken by the Coroner. A citizens commit
tee has been appointed, consisting of set
tiers residing OF land not within the rail-
road grant and unconnected with the
League, to endeavor to effect a compromise
with the railroad company. The League
is guarding the railroad property to pre-
vent any depredations by irresponsible in
dividuals, and seem determined to permit
the commission of 10 overt act, but will
continue to hold their homes at any cost.
