as bad or WOISS SOnUlLIOn than De
Long. Mr.. and Mrs. Black then drove
back to their home at the old Meyers
ranch. about a mile north of Sales
vile, which is about IL miles west of
Bozeman, and wire followed later by
De Long, who was on horseback.
Both men were i'll all the way home
and neither appeared to get much
better during the night.
The next morning, October S, John
Black and his wife, Lucy s. Black,
came to town and consulted DR..
Chambliss. The doctor examined
John Black, but found that he had
no fever, but was apparently suffer
ing from a disordered stomach. He
was given something to relieve the
vomiting. The next morning, Sunday,
DR.. Chambliss called upon Black at
the Central Beer hall lodging house,
and found he had eaten some half
dozen peaches and was very much
better. That afternoon, Mr.. and Mrs.
Black returned to Salesville. Soon
after his arrival home Black was
taken worse, and from that time on
he remained in bed and was nursed
by Mrs. Black, Fred Anger, Andy An
derson and others.
Monday Mrs. Black came to Boze-
man and called upon DR.. Chambliss
and told him her husband was in a
very restless condition, and at times
did not appear to be quite right in
his mind. Tuesday DR.. Chambliss
went out to Salesville and found his
patient quite sick. Wednesday Mrs.
Black came to town to see the doctor
and appeared to think her husband
was threatened with typhoid fever.
The next day another visit was paid
by DIR. Chambliss to the Black home
at Salesville. He arrived between 10
and II o'clock in the morning and
found Mrs. Black and Anger eating
their breakfast. Soon after his ar
rival the doctor was asked by Mrs.
Black to make out her husbands will,
but he did not respond to her request,
but went into the sick chamber and
in spite of the statement made by
Mrs. Black that her husband was
very much better that morning he
found John Blacks condition greatly
changed. While he had never pre-
scribed morphine or any preparation
of opium, he found his patient suffer.
| ing from what he took to be morphine
poisoning to marked degree, for he
was breathing heavily, was in a deep
sleep, while his face had livid ap
pearance. The doctor worked with
his patient for some time, giving anti
dotes for opium poisoning, being con
WINGED that that drug, or some prep
artion of it had been administered.
After bringing Black out of the
deep sleep, the doctor asked for Andy
Anderson, the hired man, whom he
knew slightly, but Mrs. Black rather
objected to his coming; still the doc
tor insisted, and Anderson finally ar
rived and was given some explicit
instructions for the care of Black
while he, the doctor, made a visi
somewhere else.
DIR. Chambliss then drove to A. H
Blacks, Johns brother, and told hin
of his suspicion that John Black hat
been given poison, and the two re
: turned to the old Meyers ranch. Th'
first two people the met were AndeT
son and Judge F. K. Armstrong, tn,
former of whom stated he had imme
diately been turned out of the hous.

latter that he had been sent for, a

It was then decided to take tn
sick man to Bozeman, and in spite O
! the opposition of Mrs. Black this wa
done. She had been requested to tax
John Black to either of the two hos
: pitfalls in Bozeman, but instead of tina
, she took him to the Central Bee
hall lodging house and sent for Dl
: Safely.
When DR.. Safely arrived he, Xix
< Dr. Chambliss, found John Black t
r be suffering from what he believe
D to be dose of opium, or some simila
!. drug, and, after using antidotes, OF
e dered him to be removed to d.
Chambliss' infrmary, which, afte
}. some objection on the part of MR.
8 Black, was done. When Black wa
n removed to the infirmary both do,
s tors used all the remedies they ha
