Prinur Poisoned: p. A. Skinner,
a compsitor in the Enterprise office
was bitten by a vinegerone early Sun
day morning while asleep In his quar-.
tiers. He was awakened from his
slumber by a sharp sting on the cheek,
but not thinking the bite serious, tried
to go back to sleep. However. the
wound panied him so much that ne
sat up the rest OF the night. BY Sun
day noon the poison had so thorough,
" penetrated his system as to attack
his heart and medical attendance was
oai,od a daan incision was made IN
the cheek from which the green pols-
on dubbed in hugh drops, and the
wound cauterized. Had not medical
attendance been given at the time y
was. death would undoubtedly have
ensued, as the poison OF a vinegerone
Is said to be more deadly even than
that Of a rattlesnake. Mr.. Skinner
found the vinegerone in his 0 this
week and lost no time in putting an
end to its existence.-Silver City En-
terprise.
