Canned Beef Did.

Ten persons of Kalamazoo were
lying at the point of death for over IL
hours. suffering from the effects OF
eating dried beef delivered to their
homes Saturday by man who cannot
be found.
A partial investigation has revealed
that the meat came originally from one
of the large packing houses, supposed
ly from Chicago.
The physicians are of the opinion
that some sort of embalming fluid, used
as a preservative, was used in the
beef, and was the cause of the poison
ing.
The Ritsema family of five persons
were the first found to be poisoned.
Peter Bolt and William Ritsema were
taken deathly sick in church, and 1t
was thought they would die before
they could be taken home.
In the family of Tie Ham two
daughters were taken with agonizing
cramps, and the father went for doc
tor. While returning he, too, was
seized with cramps and crawled home
on his hands and knees.
James White and his wife, who had
taken supper with the Ham family,
were taken i'll after returning home,
but were unable to summon doctor
and were found by neighbors.
DR.. Van Urk has secured piece OF
the beef, and says that the ptomaine
poisoning was caused by some fluid in
the beef. There is yellowish green
tinge on the meat.
