Gray, an old and respected citizen of this
place, narrowly escaped being fatally pois-
oned last evening. He has blacksmith
shop on Main street, and had cup of water
on the shelf near the door of the shop He
had been working for some time, and
stopped to take drink of water. The
water tasted bitter, and upon examining it
he found crystals, not yet dissolved, in the
bottom of the cup. Drs. Williams and
Young examined the water, and pro
nounced the crystals strychnine. Quite a
lot of strychnine was found on the edge of
the cup.
A warrant has been issued for the arrest
of Zach Field, Mr.. Gray's son-in-law, who
is strongly suspected of being the would-be
poisoner. He has been acting strangely for
some time, and strong case can be made
against him. Fields wife is teaching
school at Fairview, in this county, and it is
thought Field has gone there. He left town
about noon and the Sheriff an hour and a
half afterWard
