Millionaire Will Die.

Clinton, April 11.-Eight years with
a live and growing lizard in his stom-
ach is the terrible experience that
George McClusky,. of this city, has
passed thru and has just found relief
by having the reptile removed at the
Marine hospital in st. Louis. Nc
Clusky has just arrived home and has
told of his strange experience. He
said about eight years ago he was fish
ing in the Mississippi and feeling
thirsty kneelad down and took drink
out of the muddy water of the river.
He noticed that some hard substance
passed down his throat, but thought
no more of the matter About three
years ago he commenced to feel dis
tressing pains in his stomach, which
gradually increased in intensity. He
finally became convinced that tumor
was growing in his stomach, altho at
times he told his friends that it felt
as tho there was something alive in
his stomach. Especially was this feel
ing experienced after he had gone for
several hours without food. The only
way he could find relief was to take a
drink of liquor, which, undoubtedly,
stupefied the lizard. Finally he decid-

Louis and have an operation perform
ed. An examination was made by the
physicians. who became convinced
that there was something alive in Nc
Clusky's stomach. For three days he
went without food and SO ravenous
did the lizard become that its activity
convinced McClusky and the physi-
clans that the latter's diagnosis was
correct. At the expiration of three
days without food, McClusky was Civ
en- piece of bread, saturated with poi
son. Immediately following strong
cathartic was given him and a few
minutes later dead lizard measuring
five and one-halfs inches was passed.
The poison was hurriedly removed
from McClusky's stomach, and three
days later he commenced to recover.
He is now at his home in this city and
he is gaining strength rapidly. When
he entered the hospital he weighed 105
pounds, but now weighs $50 pounds.
He says he soon expects to be as
strong as ever. He is thirty-eight
years old.

Special precautions are exercised to
