Chance.
BIDS FAREWELL TO FRIENDS

Macon, Ca, May 23.-Banker B.
Sanders Walker, who on Wednesday
of last week took a bichloride of mer-
curry tablet by mistake for headache
powder died early Thursday after put
ting up brave fight for his life.
At four o'clock Wednesday after
noon he lapsed into Inconsistencies
His physicians then predicted the end
would come in less than twenty-four
hours.
He never regained consciousness.
His immediate family was at his bed
side.
The physicians Wednesday told
Walker he would be some time dying
and predicted that he would finally
lapse into coma and pass away in that
state. In the afternoon the patient
became unconscious in the hospital to
which his wife had taken him.
Walker was cheerful all the morn
ing and chatted little with his wife
and the friends who called to see
him. 1t was about three o'clock when
the physicians informed him that he
would soon become unconscious and
pass away When Walker heard this
he said:
IF this be death, then none need
fear its terrors."
He made no further reference to
death, but continued to converse with
his wife until nearly four o'clock
Then he seemed to become drowsy
and soon he became unconscious
Later the attending physicians who
are said to have exhausted every
known method of treatment. expressed
the belief that Walker could not live
more than a few hours.
Efforts to ascertain the exact treat
ment Walker was given were unavail-
ing. The physicians declined to dis
cuss this subject. 1t is understood,
however, that they had been in close
communication with physicians at the
Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore.
Walker fought off death longer than
was expected, but attending physi-
clans state that they know OF in
stances where persons who have ia
ken bichloride of mercury have lived
for twenty-five days.
Walkers nerve during the weeks
battle drew kilograms of admiration
from all over the United States

lowing three tablets OF bichloride OF
mercury, Robert Palmer, cattle
salesman and member of one of the
wealthiest families of Sioux City, is
waiting slow death from the poison.
Palmer was in a local hotel when
he took the tablets. He rushed into
the street shouting: I've done 1t!
I've done it,"
A police sergeant who was passing
rushed up to Palmer in the excited
crown and grasped him. Palmer
picked another tablet from bottle
he had in his hand and swallowed 1t.
The officer oyerpowered him.
Reports at hospital were that
Palmer has little hope of recovery.
Physicians say that he may live for
from a week to fifteen days, but that
death Is certain.
Palmer is resigned to his fate and
insists that he be taken from the hos
pital to his home to die.
