George Wilson, more familiarity
known as the frog man." died in
STAFFORD few days ago. Last July he
caught frog and swallowed it alive.
This was in the forenoon, and in the
afternoon he complained of a severe
pain in his stomach. He was sick sew
eral weeks under the care of physi-
clan, and got better. The first of last
month he came back to Stratiord, but
had worked but few days when he
was taken sick with inflammation Of
the stomach and bowels. There is no
doubt but what his death resulted from
the swallowing of that frog. Wilson
seemed to have a mania for swallow
ing living things. On one occasion he
caught green snake more than foot
long, and swallowed it alive. At an
ether time he caught q black snake
about five feet long, cut it open, took
out It's heart and swallowed it while
pulsating. At the time he swallowed
the frog, the first time he swallowed it
his frogship, not liking his quarters.
turned around and came back. 1t was
not until the second or third time he
swallowed it that he succeeded in I'M
prisoning him in his stomach.

that the difficulty between Greece and
Turkey may yet be settled by arbitra-

very bright. Greece is still actively

press has advised the expulsion of all
Greeks from the empire. The Greek
