peculiar case of poisoning. Several
weeks ago he was liz Mexico examining
some mining properties. The day be-
fore he was ready to return to San

on the right leg between the knee and
the ankle. He was not long in ascer-
tanning that he had been bitten by
an unusually large scorpion. The bites
were little red spots at first. but they
grew in size and increased in pain
while he was hurriedly en- route 10 this
city for treatment. When he arrived
here his leg was fearfully swollen. The
bites had become large red and yellow
boils and the pain was almost unbear-
able. The physicians said that il
proper treatment had been delayed
day longer he would never have recov-
cred AS it was, they had a very hard
time bringing him through.-San
