FAMILY POISONED.
Ate Toadstools for Mushrooms and
Had a Very Narrow Escape
From Death.

Fred Henkleman, of Willow street,
South Scranton, his wife, and three
children, were poisoned last night by
eating what they thought were mush-
rooms.
Henkleman and his son went to the
woods yesterday to gather the edible.
They returned near supper time with
d large batch of toadstools, which they
mistook for the real thing. Their ap-
pearance varies little from mushrooms,
in color, which is a delicate pink. The
stuff was prepared as part of the
evening meal, and the family partook
of it freely.
About s o'clock the youngest child,
aged eighteen months, became i'll. He
tottered about the floor and was in a
stupified condition. Presently Mrs.
Henkleman was similarly attacked. 1t
occurred to the father that the ''mush-
rooms caused the trouble. He hur-
ried to DR.. Ritz's office. While en-
route back to the house, he was taken
i'll himself, and had to be assisted.
The physician was met by the spec
tacle of the four other members
stretched unconscious on the floor and
chairs. A stomach pump and emetics
were applied. After an hour and twen-
ty minutes work the sufferers were
brought to consciousness. DR.. Ritz re-
manned with them until near midnight
Then they We're apparently on the way
to recovery.
The physician stated that if a reac-
ton did not occur before morning he
had good reason to hope for the COM
plete recovery of the whole family.
