GAINESVILLE, Wis. Oct 16.-[ Special /
That the majority Of the leading society
ladies of the city of Edgerton are not
dead today as the result of poisoning, Is
due entirely to prompt medical aid. Al
though the matter has been kept guard
ed secret for the past four days. it leaked
out yesterday that poisonous ice-crcam
came near causing Il terrible calamity in
the little city of leaf tobacco fame. Last
Thursday afternoon Mrs. Charles Bent
ley entertained about fifty lady friends.
The rGpaSt included ice cream. Of which
many partook. Following the serving of
refreshments the guests played cards. An
hour before the first guests began to take
their departure several of the ladies
made the remark to each other that they
felt queer. They all experienced that
dizzy feeling. Several attempted to leave
the reception room, but We're taken with
fanting spells. Matters soon grew alarm
ing and ii then occurred to the hostess
that her guests might have been pois-
UuCd. Physicians were then immediately
summoned and at once pronounced II pol
son.
Several Of those worst affected were
taken to their homes i'll carriages. Mrs.
Birkmcycr, soon after being removed In
her home, grew gradually worse and for
several hours physicians worked over her
to keep her from going into sleeping
stupor She is now well on the road To
recovery. Mrs. Schelly, Mrs. Charles
Coulton and Mrs. Dickinson suffered ter
rible agonies and were saved only by
constant efforts of the attending doctors.
Others who partook less of the cream
We're i'll. but only in a mild way, and
were able to make their way home un-
assisted
Physicians say that the ice-cream was
poisoned by the milk that was used. Thi>
milk. it is claimed, came from an Un-
healthy COW, the fluid being tainted by
the COW partaking of some poisonous
weed. At the farmhouse where the
milk was purchased children were taken
dangerously i'll that same evening after
drinking milk taken from the same cow.
