BANGOR, Oct. %,
Four children of Mr. and Mrs. Elijah
Rogers, residing at No. % Bower street, came
home from school this forenoon, CRYING with
bad pains, and complaining of being de-
pressed generally, they vomited and showed
several symptoms of being poisoned. DIR.
Hanson was at once called and administered
the proper remedies. He inquired what they
had eaten for breakfast and was informed
that they had breakfasted on milk which was
purchased at grOcer's.
1t was within few minutes of the time
that the doctor was called to the Roges fam
lily that he was summoned to attend the little
No 26 Everitt street. This child had been
obliged to come home and was verv sick
She had made breakfast on milk furnished
by the same grocer.
The grocer was seen and said that he had
receive his milk as usual and had sold to
the Rogers and Thurston families from the
same gallon can, two quarts each. He used
one quart himself and sold the remaining one
to a customer. The grocer was also sick and
vomted. The adults who used the milk in
their coffee were not troubled. The symp-
toms were those of irrtant poison, such as
arsenic. Some of the milk has been OBJ
taned and will be examined The Thurston
child is now quite well, but the Rogers chill
dren are in much pain, though doing well.
They will undoubtedly recover.
