Ensuing Year.

American Fork March 17-Miss Nellie
preston of this place has been critically
Ill the past week from the effects of be
ing poisoned by eating candy She is
somewhat better today and is thought
10 be out OF danger. Last Sunday she ate
some candy and after eating it she was
: taken deathiy sick, and for two or three
days she was dangerously i'll and it was
feared her illness would result fatally,
/ but owing to the untiring efforts of the
attending physician she is now Thought
TO be out Of danger. 1t is thought that
some of the cOloring matter that was in
the candy caused the poisoning.
