Louis Gardella and Frank Cockley
of this place had a narrow escape one
day this week. The young men went
down to the John Costa ranch to pur-
chase some wine. Not having any
thing to get the wine in they picked
up an old can and put the wine in
that. The can of wine didn't last
very long and before it was all gone
they we're both taken very sick and in
terrible pain, having all the symp-
toms of arsenic poisoning. Gardella
was not as bad as Cockley who had to
call in the services OF a physician. =
