STRANGE SICKNESS.

Deaths Near Coils After an Illness Of
But Few Hours.
FRESNO. July 31.-On July 23d Mrs. I.
NJ. Jacobs. who was cooking on vine
yard near Coils, died after an illness of
twelve hours. Two days later Mr.. Ring.
superintendent of the vineyard, was
taken i'll, being similarly affected, but
may recover. On Sunday, the 29th inst,
A. Petersen, workman on the vineyard,
was also taken Ill in the same manner
and died in thirty hours.
Attending physicians pronounce the
cause OF death in each case paralysis of
the heart. A strange feature is that three
people should be taken i'll with this dis
ease at the same place, and so nearly at
the same time. Everybody has left the
vineyard, and an investigation of the
premises will shortly follow.
