which ended the battle in her favor.
After she had won the fight she again
sucked blood from her finger and
sought for an antidote.
A pint of whisky she secured and
drank. To make assurance doubly
sure she mixed y strong dose of aconite
and swallowed 1t. She made the mis-
take Of taking too heavy q portion Of
the deadly poison, however, and it eff
fected her head.
All this time Mrs. Horgan was alone
in the house. and though she had
availcd herself of all assistance ut

venom was becoming apparent. Her
arm was beginning to swell and pain
her drcadfully, showing the poison was
entering the circulation of the blood.
Her situation was becoming desperate.
About this time some of the men re-
turned to the house. AS soon as ap-
prised of the facts q messenger was
dispatched post hast TO Hill City for o
for doctor, and at 4 o'clock DIR. j. r.
Spence reached the ranch.
The doctor applied IL poultice of bone
charcoal and soda and administered
spirits Of ammonia internally. This he
kept up all night and the next morning
Mrs. Morgan was sufficiently recovered
to be removed to Hill City, where she
could have better nursing. The SWELL
idg in her arm was subsiding and the
d~iscoloration had entirely disappeared.
This was taken a. showing that the
danger was passed.
