him holding four ounce bottle of car

waist down and on one arm. He re-
manned unconscious for about three
hours. Medical assistance was prompt

was done TO relieve the little one. The
doctor gives encouragement for his re-
covery. Fortunately none of the poison
was taken in the mouth. The bottle
was sitting on shelf about as high as
q mans head from the floor and the
baby must have climbed from his CAB
to a wash stand and then reached the
bottle and regained his cab and then
pulled the cork and poured the contents
out. He had only his night dress on al
the time.

CHILD SWALLOWS PLUM PIT.
Very Nearly stransIes to Death Before
Obstruction Is Forced Down..

Waterloo, Aug. 4.-Wi;h a plum pit
in his tiny throat, shutting off the air
from his lungs, Miller. the 14-months-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Eli Dietz, of
1902 West Second street, struggled for
several minutes for breath yesterday
afternoon, getting black in the face for
want Of oxygen, while his parents dis
tractedly did all they could to afford
relief.
The accident happened while the
family were at dinner. They had a
plate Of plums on the table, and one
had been given to the baby to eat. The
mother watched closely TO avoid the
little fellows getting the pit but when
the plum was only half eaten he sucked
the stone down into his throat. 1t
lodged over the windpipe, choking the
child until 1t became blue for want of
breath. While struggling in a dying
condition the parents did all in their
power to bring relief, while member
OF the family was sent for a doctor.
The child would have been dead had
not the parents succeeded in getting
the pit down into the oesophagus. past
the trachea. The. doctor administered
medicine. and said the danger was over.
The little one was sleeping last night
when inquiry was made, but his face
still showed the black ard blue marks.

The only theory which will account
for his drowning in still water not
deeper than his shoulders, is that he
was seized with cramps so violent that
he was not able to stand up. Help was
at once summoned from town and ev-
erything the doctors could do failed to

"a great injustice to Attorney S. l.
Mickskimmons. Of Baxter. According
TO the dispatch as published, Mr.. Mick
simmons was arrested yesterday on a
charge of seduc lion sworn to by Miss
Rose Of that place. The facts are that
an information charging the crime was
filed before Justice Allfree, of Newton,
Saturday afternoon by a brother of
Miss Rose. who is working here In the
feeder works. No warrant was issued,
but as soon as he heard of the inforlna-
ton being filed Mr.. Mickskmmons ap-
peared before the justice to answer to
the charge. Mss Rose also appeared
before the justice and asked to have the
information dismissed. denying that
there was a word of truth in it. On her
appearance the justice dismissed the
information. Mo warrant was issued.
The friends of Mr.. MiclSskimmons can
not account for the action of the
brother of Miss Rose and are indignant
that such story concerning him should
gain publicity. Miss Rose is now living
in Newton. having work here.
