SUES TOR LOST SIGHT
WILLIAM KENNEDY, OF vINToN,
DRANK WOOD ALCOHOL AND
BECAME BLIND.
ACTION AGAINST DRUGGISTS
FOR $4,000 DAMAGES
Palmer & Clark Are Defendants and
Plaintiff Claims They Sold Him
Poisonous Mixture Instead of Grain
AIeohoI-MiII Toombs, Companion
of Kennedy, Died After Drinking It.

vinton, June 4.-William Kennedy,
has commenced suit for $4,000 dam
ages for the sale Of wood alcohol. under
the presumption that it was grain alco-
hol. from the drinking Of which he
became blind.
Palmer & Clark, druggists, will file
a petition denying the allegation or
charge.
This cause OF action occurred about
a year ago when Kennedy, who was
on a carousal, drank wood alcohol,
which affected his eyes. His partner,
Will Toombs, died from the effect Of
the drinking.
The main charge is in the two fol-
lowing paragraphs:
That on or about the first day of
June, A. D. 1909. the plaintiff, who had
been a customer of the defendants
and knew Of such practice and under
standing Of the defendants in selling
grain alcohol, called at the defend
ants place of business at Vinton.
Iowa, and asked for one-haf pint OF
bay rum in accordance of the custom
and practice above mentioned; that
the defendants in response to said re-
half pint bottle of liquid representing
the same to the plaintiff to be grain
alcohol by the custom and practice
above mentioned, and we'll knowing
that the plaintiff intended to use such
liquid for beverage purposes; that in
truth and in fact the said liquid so de-
livered to the plaintiff aforesaid, in
stead of being grain alcohol was wood
alcohol. a deadly poison, or some other
poisonous liquid, the nature of Which
is unknown to the plaintiff; that the
defendants delivered the said bottle
of liquid aforesaid to the plaintiff with
out having upon said bottle the word
poison as provided by section 4976
Of the code and contrary to the laws Of
the state of Iowa.
That the plaintiff being ignorant of
the nature of said liquid and believing
the same to be grain alcohol, delivered
to him in accordance with the custom
and practice Of the defendants previ-
ously known to the plaintiff and above
mentioned, of selling grain alcohol for
beverage purposes under the name Of
bay rum, drank a portion of said liquid
and thereby became poisoned and
sick, suffering great mental and phys
ical pain and anguish and as result
thereof the plaintiff has become totally
blind and his entire nervous system
seriously affected; that said condition
is permanent and plaintiffs earning
capacity is practically destroyed.
Messrs. Palmer & Clark say they
will have no trouble in showing that
Kennedy was not in the habit of buy
ing any kind Of liquor from them.

Special to Times Republican.
C. Moon. of Wapello county. is picked
for a winner here in the democratic
free for all mex. Tuesday. II seemed
at first as if the movement for Claude
Porter was accepted by all, but the
situation has changed Porter was
brought into the race as it is now
known, solely thru standpat republic
can influence on the theory that he
would be the right man to garner
standpat republican votes when boiling
time comes. 1t was to be a reorsaniza-
ton along the lines of the 1906 cam
paign when the democrats We're rein
forced by 10000 to 10000 of those who
are now Mortified to think that Sena-
tor Cummins did not vote as the AL
drich- Cannon organization dictated.
But il Claude Porter runs this time
it will be on a platform favoring re-
submission of the prohibitory amend
ment, for he is an ardent prohibitionist
and has written the esubmissionists
;he is with them. While there are a
great many democrats who would APP
prove this program. not many would
say that It is winning one in Iowa
at this time.
On the other hand. Senator Moon
has a record OF law enforcement and
strict regulation of the liquor traffic
which, while it is offensive TO a few
of the democrats. is one which can be
fairly defended almost anywhere. Be-
sides he is personally a man fully as
able and companiona BILE as the Center
vile statesman.
The movement for Mr.. Bashor has
not turned out as was anticipated at
the start. He had said he would make
an active canvass of the state. but he
has not done 80 and. very few of the
democrats know of him. II is claimed
however, that he is going to be pretty
strongly supported by the liberal ele-
ment for he is pronounced in favor of
almost anything but prohibition.
The democratic vote in the state is
going to be much lighter than seemed
probable at first. In this county where
it was found that the copy clerks made
bad plumbers in getting many of the
democrats listed as republicans-tho
