Child Dies Of Poison

Sunday afternoon the remains
of little Elmer Harold Erickson
were buried, after funeral ser
vices conducted by Rev. Hyink.
The child's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Even Erickson live about
two miles east of the city. With
little Elmer and the latter's play
mate. the young Hoeffling boy,
Mrs. Erickson had visited town
last Friday, and while she was
occupied the lads amused them
selves playing in the alleys near
by.
While so engaged, they got
into an empty building and ate
or drank something poisonous,
Both children were taken home
very i'll, and little Elmer dice
soon after. After much effor'
the Hoeffling child's life was
saved. From the incoherent ut
terances Of the latter it is though
that the children found some ra
biscuits which they ate, afte
which they drank water which
helped promptly to diffuse tn
poison through their system.
The dead child was four year
old. Burial was had at the loca
cemetery. The bereaved parent
have the condolences of man
at this sudden stroke.
