ONE DEAD, ANOTHER
ILL FROM POISON
PTOMAINES KILL JOSEPH Z1ELIN-
SKI, A PEDDLER, AT BOARD
ING PLACE.
MAY HAVE BEEN FREE LUNCH
Max Miller, Longshoreman at Emer-
gency Hospital, May Not Re-
cover from Poisoning.
PHYSICIANS TRY TO SAVE LIFE.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 1S, 1908.
One man is dead and another is suf-
One man is dead and another is suf-
fering at the Emergency hospital from
what is believed to be case of ptomaine
poisoning. Joseph Zielinski, aged "a
years, a peddler, died at the Emergency
hospital Friday afternoon after suffer-
ing agonies since Tuesday. Max Miller,
a longshoreman who boarded with lie
linski, at 131 Clinton street, was taken
to the hospital Thursday and may not
recover.
Doctors Fail to Save.
Zielinski was found violently i'll in his
room at the boarding house Tuesday and
Dr.. A. f. Young, county physician, was
called. He examined the man and
recommended that he be taken to the
county hospital for treatment. After
wards Zielinski's sufferings increased and
he was moved in haste to the Emergency
hospital. Everything possible was done
for him but he died at $50. A post NOR
tenn examination was held at the county
morgue Friday afternoon and it was
found that the direct cause Of death
was gastro-enteritis, which might have
been caused by ptomalnes in food.
Finds Man Unconscious.
The saloon and boarding house at
which the two men lived is that of Pfef-
fer & Cahill. Miller did not appear
downstairs Friday morning and Mr..
Pfeffer began to search for him. He
would not answer a knock on the door
of his room. and the door was locked
from the inside. By making his way
outside through a window. Mr.. Pfeffer
gained entrance and found Miller lying
unconscious on his bed. He was later
in the day taken to the hospital.
The physicians are not certain that he
too is suffering from ptomaine, but the
symptoms are similar. The men, it is
said. have not eaten at the boarding
house this week. hence it is not believed
that they were poisoned there.
May Have Been Free Lunch.
It is thought possible that they
iUnched together somewhere or ate at a
free lunch counter where the poisonous
food was given out. The lunch in some
OF the places in this vicinity is said to
be at times, the food from hotels several
days old, that is not deemed to be in
condition for service again at the hostel
ries The body of Zielinski Is still at the
morgue. Miller is AZ years old and has
always resided in Milwaukee. He is said
to have inherited little money two
years ago and lived in the winter on
that.

have used the expression ''went like the
wind wishing to convey the idea of ex-
traordinary velocity.
Coming down to actual figures, how
ever. the wind is not such speedy
traveller after all. The month of March
more than any other in the year has a
windy record, so the figures supplied by
the local weather bureau station for the
month just ended will do to illustrate
the fallaey of the expression.

Mr.. Redmond said:

fought for will certainly come within
a few years. Ireland has home rule
almost within it's grasp. Never again
will an attempt be made to govern
Ireland by the abolition of free speech

landlordism and the barracks system.
Now the land is passing rapidly to the

will have completely disappeared.
