| II Killed Them.
This rather sensational item Is from
the Princeton Banner:
"Mr. b +. Wood. living iu the Ce-
rulean Springs neighborhood, sent to
Hopkinsvllle a prescription, which
he got from an old medical work, and
had 1t filled. llis object, It seems,
was to use II as worm medicine for
his children, aud on getting It gave
each of his three children, last Tues
day morning, teaspoonful. As a
result one OF them died the same day
another Wednesday, and the remain
Ing one, the Oldest, is not expected to
live"
None Of the druggists here have
any record of having filled such a
prescription. The medicine, whatev-
or II was, was procured by Jas.
Wood, brother of b. Frank Wood,
who also gave his child dose, which
came near proving fatal. Frank
Woods oldest child is recovering.
The parties concerned are sons of the
late Enoch Wood, and live betwee
Sinking Fork and Cerulean Springs,
In this county.
