.STRYCHNINE
in FLOUR.
MYSTERIOUS Illness of Mr..
J. u. CantWell Must
be Investigated.

Princess Anne, Md, November
1S.-Mr. John U. Cantwell, who re-
sides near West Postoffice, this
county, was taken suddenly i'll yes
terday evening, and DR.. Rufus w.
Dashiell, of this town, was sum-
moned, who found Mr.. Cantwell
suffering from the symptoms Of
strychnine poison. Vigorous treat
ment was at once rendered to count
eract the poison, and it is now
thought that Mr.. Cantwell will re-
cover. Mr.. Cantwell had been eat
ing Graham flour bread, none of
which was partaken of by the rest
of the family. A test of the bread
was made on dog, which resulted
in the death of the dog within an
hour. This confirmed the suspi-
cion Of DIR. Dashiell that the man
had been poisoned. An investi-
cation will be made to find how
the strychnine got into the flour
from which the bread was made.

this bet at even money, and says
he will have an additional $4,000
to place later at the prevailing odds.
