PUZZLING CASE
IN SUNBURY

Considerable alarm was felt III Sun
bury shortly after noon Wednesday,
whrn Harry Buss. aged Il years, son
Of Conductor William Buss, and Roy
Fa~old, aged 20 years, son of James
Fasold, were found lying uncousciou $
i'm the barn in the rear of the Buss
residence Both boys were found in
one of the stalls, the Buss hoy being
dangerously near one of the horses.
When the boys were discovered help
was summoned and they were carried
into thoir homes Physicians were
hastily summoned and upon their ar
rival it was found that the Buss boy
was in a very critical condition, hav-
ing no pulse and but slight action of
the heart After considerable effort
on the part of the physicians the boy
ralliCd under medical treatment, but
late Wednesday afternoon was still in
such condition that he was unable to
explain the cause of his condition.
lhe faSOld BOY was also unconscious
but his condition was not near as ser
ious a5 that of his companion. While
the physicians were working with the
Buss boy ne muttcrod something about
being poisoned, but nothing was found
to indicate such a condition which
makes the case moro puzzling.
Both boys left their homes about
seven O'Clock and were working to-
gethor hauling coal with the same
wagon About II 30 O'Clock they
brought the team of horses to the
stable to feed them and had just plac-
ed them in their stalls when they both
fell over unconscious.
1t has been learned later that the
both boys are rapidly recovering.
