IT BURNED HIM.

Practical Jokers Play Trick on Man
Hunting Sunday Booze.
With mouth and throat feeling as if
they were full of molten lead, Fred
erick Nelson appealed to the police for
help yesterday afternoon. It devel-
oped that he had been doped with
some fiery liquid by bunch of toughs
in Rose alley. He wanted some booze
pretty badly, and not being able to
get into saloon tried to locate boot
logger.
The police are investigating the
case today and will deal severely with
the culprits if caught. Just what was
the object of playing the practical
joke on the old man is a mystery.
Neither is it known what was put in
the stuff he drank.

ed is exceptionally valuable.
The property is regarded by mining
