Blood poisoning in the most acute
form caused the death Of Miss Ber-
nadine Surface. member OF the
sophomore class at Purdue univer-
sity, whose funeral was held yester-
day, but the doctors have not yet
decided just what caused the affiic-
ton. The young women was working
in the biological laboratory at the
university. Friday. and was examin-
ing some forms Of plant life. She
had a small needle with which she
had been making the examination.
and without thinking of any serious
consequences, used the needle to
open a snail pimple on her fore
head.
Shortly afterward she became i'll
and doctors were called. Although
they used every possible means of
checking the progress of the septic
poisoning, they were unsuccessful.
Medicine seemed to have no effect
whatever on the action of the poison
Physicians are making a careful ex-
animation Of the needle in the hope
Of finding out what form of malig-
nant poison caused the infection.
Miss Surface came from Rockfield
She was p years old.

Malady of Lafayette Youth Prenatal
Addiction.

LAFAYETTE. Ind, Nov. "a
Physicians believe that some strange
prenatal afhiction is responsible for
the condition of Alfred Noble, the
youth whose antics Sunday caused
a panic in a local ice manufacturing
plant and held several policemen at
bay. Noble had a fit. in which he
barked and growled like a dog bit
into the legs Of chairs and tables
and, with his teeth, tore newspapers
to fragments. 1t was thought at
first that he had a severe attack of
hydrOphObia. but doctors afterward
learned that such was not the case.
He was taken to Jail in Il straight
jacket, and last night he was able to
go home and seemed TO be himself
again. Noble told the doctors that
every few years he had an attack of
the kind. His jaws open and be-
come locked. He does not lose con-
seriousness. but he is seized with q
terrible desire 10 bite. and thus keep
his jaws together. His jaws were
wide open and tightly locked in
that position for nearly "a hours
after his recent attack. Two years
ago he was bitten by a dog, but he
says he had such attacks even be-
fore that. The doctors can not ac-
count for his unusual affiction, and
they believe he was marked" from
