That issue ssf The Teller was in Its

four-page paper OF four columns each.
There are many interesting ! bits Of
news OF, those days in the Issue which
were made ,dOubly interesting in view
Of the fact that the famous Mes Perce
Indian war was then at its close. One
item with the caption Honorable Mem

from the Idahoan. q paper which was
published at Boise during those days.
It follows: Among the brave seven

NEARLY FATAL MISTAKE
VIM. II. VandervOOrt Makes Il
Mistake i'm Medicine that
Nearly Costs Him His Life

Last Monday noon after eating
his dinner Mr.. w. E. Wander
WORT made a blunder which
nearly cost him his life, and from
which he has not yet fully re-
covered. 1t appears that he had
upon a shelf two bottles of
medicines, one of VIII ch he was
using in small quantities for the
healing of boils and which con-
tanned a large amount of arsenic,
and another medicine which he
has been taking for a cough. He
was expecting to drive in the
country in the afternoon and
took dose of what he supposed
was his cough medicine, but
which he Immediately discovered
was the medicine containing the
arsenic. He at once telephoned
for DR.. Jacotel and had his
daughter give him an antidote
for the poison. DR.. Jacotel upon
his arrival Immediately judged
his serious condition and sum
moned DR.. Krlesel to assist him,
and both doctors worked hero.
ically to save the mans life.
Notwiths tanding this he became
unconscious and remained in
this condition for several hours.
However, he is now considered
out of danger and is getting
along nicely.
