| MILK POISONING.
M. James d. Adams little child, after
being fed heartily on milk Tuesday even
ing, was suddenly stricken with violent
pains 10 the stomsch, diarrhei and vom.
| iting, symptoms that characterized Sun
days victims. Much tneorizlng is done
| by local scientists as to the cause of this
strange malsdy. In an article in the
evening paper local chemist informs the
public that he has made q chemical exam
| nation of the milk and Is ready
to report the result of his. in
vestigation when the court provides for
| the payment Of the work. A lew promi-
nent men are inclined to lay the trouble

runner of that terrible malady, Asiatic
cholera, which he says will doubtless
reach this country within year at least.
Mr.. W. P. Martin, manager of Martins
dairy farm, one of the wagons from
which the recent alleged poisoned milk
was sold said to day to GAZETTE reporter
that he would give 800 to any chemist
who would analyzs and find poison of
any kind or anything else but pure milk.
or to any person who would procure an
analysis by competent chemist finding
impure matter In his milk, not alone from
the wagon on the day referred to, but
from any Of his wagons on any day
as long as he continues in the
business. He says also, that il the city
| will employ chemist at $3.50 per month,
he will pay S25 of the amount each
month. Mr.. Martin says that he does not
believe that the sickness referred to could
have been caused by the milk, because
first, of his great care in preparing the
milk, and next because the Crutchfield
house and others used milk out Of the
same can, and milk remaining in that can
unsold was consumed at night at his
home by thirteen parties, none of whom
were in the least affected
