gan Church supper.
NILES, Mich, Sept. 2l.-Nearly one.
tenth OF the entire population OF Plain.
well, a village in Al.eyan county, is i'll
from eating canned pressed beef.
~tifty.fve persons were poisoned, 20
are dangerously i'll, and 4 are expected
to die. the doctors having expressed no
hope of their recovery. Those in dan.
ger are:
Mrs. Ethel Clancy, Mrs. ]. A. Travis.
Mrs. John Bishop and L. w. Soula.
The ladies of the Presbyterian church
gave a supper in the church parlors
and about 100 guests were present, all
OF whom had supper and partook of
canned beef.
So far 55 cases of poisoning have been
reported and in each case it has been
learned the patients had eaten of the
beef. Some were violently i'll, and it
was thought at n time at least a
dozen would succumb to the poison.
Steps are being taken to make a rigid
investigation into the food, the doctors
believing either the meat was diseased
or the combination of the tin and beef
resulted in poisoning.

KARL CHERRY
TURNED WHITE
When He Attempted to Escape
From a BaiIiff and Was Halt
ed by a Pistol Shot.

Yesterday morning the officers and clerks
in the court house were startled by the
sharp report of a pistol which rang out in
the lower hall of the building. They rushed
out from their respective offices, expecting
to find some one sweltering in blood, or to
hear the announcement made that "the
first gun had been fired in the Spanish
American war"
Both theories were wrong, however, as
the shot was only friendly one fired by
Balff Andrew Burgin, of the criminal court,
which was intended to stop an escaping
prisoner
Saturday Is sentence day in the criminal
court and the prisoners who had been con-
victed during the week were being taken
from the Jail to the court room. The pris-
oners were in charge of Bailiffs Burgin
and Vines and when the stairway in the
lower hall was reached Karl Cherry,
young white man, who had been convicted
of miscegenation, made a break for liberty
starting towards the Twenty-first street
exit. Mr.. Burgin had been warned by
Warden Daily, of the county jail, to keep
an eye on Cherry and the bailiff was pre-
pared for the emergency
As the man started to run Mr. Burgin
called on him to halt without effect. He
then drew his pistol and fired a shot into
the ceiling, bringing the fugitive to short
halt. His face was blanched and he was
trembling with fear as the baliff came up.
Cherry was restored to his place in the
line and marched up stairs to the criminal
court room, where Judge Green passed
sentence upon them. Cherry was sem
fenced to two years in the penitentlary
and the other prisoners were sentenced as
follows:
