questioned, we produce herewith the
statement of q number of persons who

DIR. Brooks, when asked his opinion
upon the subject, said: 1t WAS not lead
poison by any means, but having
made no examination with view to
the discovery of poison /, of course,
could not say definitely. 1 think,
however, that from the effects in the
case which / attended THAT of John
Lang, as also of others of which |
have heard, it must have been poison
of some character.
John Lang was then seen and said
upon the subject: / ate beef at the
lunch counter ut the park and soon
afterward was taken very sick. All Of
the members Of the band went la to
take lunch at the same time. Tae
most of us ate corned beef,
and all who did were taken
violently sick. / went home in
a hack, and when | reached home was
all doubled up. Canned beef made
me sick.

to the question as to what made him
sick, replied promptly, eating canned
beef at the lunch-counter at the park.

pointed as superintendent of the work

to-day. He is authorized to employ
all of the labor required, and is in

most dispatch. The grounds selected
for the encampment possess many ad-
vantages over those at Dallas
last year, inasmuch as Dallas
spent more than $1,000 for
the clearing up Of the grounds, while
Fort Worth will not pay anything, as
they are naturally In al excellent
