Probably Given "Knock-O Out Drops"

Councilman Ignacio Sena, of the first
ward, was very i'll last evening on the
street. He was taken to the residence of
his father, Loreto Sena, and remained
unconscious all night. DR.. J. M. Diaz
was summoned, and suspecting that Sc
ma had taken some poison, administered
restoratives. The symptoms were those
of choral poisoning, and DR.. Diaz
thinks that MI. Sena had been given
knockout drops" Another physician
was summoned, and also District Attor-
ney Gortner and other officials, to whom
Sena made a statement. This morning
Mr.. Sena regained consciousness, and is
slowly recovering from his illness.
District Attorney Gortner does not
take much stock in the poisoning the
Dry, but is making arrangements to
have the case quietly investigated. One
of the physicians in the case claims that
Mr.. Sena's affection was merely a cas-
of collie or gastritis.
