Mr. John Heyland, found mis- time occupied
by a superb thoroughbred stallion. which
no one else could manage and which seem

The other hands could render little service
and the distance from the city was too
great TO permit the engines TO go out, so
that the barn and stables were destroyed.
The fine horse Lemirck and four other first
class horses and one COW pershed in the
fire.
There were at the place about forty
horses and number of cows besides sew.

POISONED BY EATING CANDY.
Child Dies After Feastfng ON
..ADriI DrOUsr

New York, March 17.-William F. Ca
sey, six years old, son of Thomas Casey.
of 60 Willow Avenue. Hoboken, ~ j.. died
last Wednesday night. Dr. Michael Foley.
who attended him, attributes his death to
eating poisoned candy. Where the child
got the candy is not known.
When he returned from school Tuesday
afternoon he had some candy which was
called April drops" He said they were
given to him by a schoolboy named Ben
n.y. Robinson. These candies We're after
ward found to contain red pepper and 9TH
er disagreeable ingredients. one of which is
said to be soap. Young Casey had eaten
some of them. and shortly after became
seriously i'll. DR.. Foley used all the skill
he possessed to save the lads life, but his
efforts We're unavaling.
He notified County Physician Converse
yesterday of the boys death That official
will probably make an autopsy in the case
today, and Will also order an ANALYSIS of
the candies found in young Caseys pos
session. with view to determining their
naNre.
The police were requested to locate the
boy Benny Robinson from whom Casey
said he received the candies. Up to late
hour last night they had not succeeded in
finding him. 1t is not proposed to arrest
the boy as ii is thought he did not intend
to do Casey any harm. The health board
wish to find out where the candies were
bought, in order to stop their sale
