MIsrook DRUG FOR MEDICINE
Palermo Woman Escapes Very Tragic
Oeath.


Dsath.
Last Friday morning social Palermo
was thrown into intense excitement
by what nearly proved a fatal mis-.
take by one of the most respected la.
dies. Mrs. Hot thought she waa
taking headache tablet. but by mis-.
take swallowed tablet of bi-chloride
OF mercury. Mrs. Hoff is the wife OF
Oscar Hotf, one Of Palermos most
popular merchants, and their resi-.
dence is in the Mccain house. On
the morning above mentioned, Mrs.
Hoff was troubled with headache, and
seeking to relieve it. made a mistake
which nearly cost her life. Fortu.
nately she discovered her mistake
within few moments after taking
the taxi and lost no time in &C.
quaint" Mrs. Mccain and her sis.
ter, IS McSherry, of the fact.
These ladies promptly hailed pass.
ing team and the sufferer was driven
rapidly to McDo;'ell & Sons drug
store, where all aid was rendered. In
the meantime, DR.. Wicks of Blaisdell
was 'phoned for, who, on his arrival,
found her out of danger, and that her
safety was due to her own presence
of mind. and the prompt action of the
ladies who assisted her to the drug
store.
The case proved stubborn one,
and for considerable time no one
could say what the result would be,
and there was great thankfulness ex.
pressed when it became known that
the drug had been counteracted. The
patients suffering was great before
she obtained relief, but by Sunday
she was able to be about, with few
reminders of her narrow escape.

HEARING FALLS FLAT.
Plaintiff Was Absent and Interstate
Commission Dismisses Case.

Plaintiff Was Absent and Interstate
Commission Dismisses Case.
The case of William Patten of
Palermo against the Wisconsin Cen
trail and the Great Northern railroads.
which was brought before the inter
state commerce commission at Minot,
resulted in dismissal of the action,
owing to the failure of the plaintiff
to put in an appearance.
The action was brought to deter
mine the reasonableness of emigrant
and lumber rates from independence.
Wis.,, to Palermo, N. D. The plaintiff
shipped a carload of emigrant goods
and carload of lumber from indie
pendence to Palermo last year. He
received the emigrant rate on his car
of machinery, etc.. and contended that
he was entitled to the same rate on
his car of lumber. inasmuch as it was
to be used on his claim. The rail-
roads contended that lumber did not
come under the head of emigrant
goods. and. therefore, the regular rate
would apply. There being no appear
ance, the action was dismissed.
A. H. Lossow, special examiner of
the interstate commerce commission,
was present to take the testimony;
Walter D. Corrigan, attorney for the
Wisconsin Central; A. F. Clark. as.
sistant traffic manager of the Wiscon~
sin Central; c. J. Murphy. attorney
for the Great Northern, and Jas. Rob-
inson. Great Northern division freight
agent, were also present at the hear
