POISONED BY A CACTUS.
n. L. Moon. Of John Street. Meets with a
Peculiar Accident.


Last Monday. as N. l.. Moon was
working In the hot house of Mr.. Orch
ards, on John street. he cut the thumb
on his right hand with knife, at the
time he was holding a cactus, and it Ia
thought that the plant came in con-
tact with the cut and in some way pois-
oned 1t. Soon after handling the plant
his hand began to swell and this was
followed by severe pains in his arm and
later his whole forearm became swollen.
DIR. Bailey was summoned Wednesday
and found Mr.. Moons condition quite
serious: his temperature was 1O5 and he
became so i'll that he was unable to
leave his bed.
4 An abscess formed upon the thumb
and this has been 1anced three times.
At one time Tuesday night Mr.. Moons
condition was considered critical and
he had to have opiates administered to
quiet him. Yesterday when the doctor
visited his patient he found that Mr..
Moons temperature was 103 and every
indication Is that he is improving.
