years old, died yesterday at the stock
farm of her husband, J. A. Norris, just

children, Eva, II years old. and Edith.
10 years old, with Robert Smith, a
farm hand on the place, are critically
ill from the same cause and may die.
The death of the boy. Thomas, is
largely attributable to the heroic eff
fort he made to save the other men,
bers of the family. They were all
seized with excruciating pains about
midnight and as his father was pros
trated. the boy. though suffering in
tensely, rode a horse bareback three
miles to Homewood at breakneck
speed. for medical assistance. The ex-
posture and suffering caused by this
ride made more sure the effect of the
poison. Had he not made the effort
all eight must have died before assist
ance reached them
