THREE PECULIAR CASES
AT SALISBURY HOSPITAL
One Death Has Resulted And Two
Others Expected to Die.

Three very peculiar poison cases
were taken to the Peninsula General
Hospital at Salisbury last week by
Dr. Mcintosh, of Quantico. Lloyd

children, Wilmer Jones. aged 3, and
Novella Jones. aged 4 years, showed
symptoms of poison after eating tain
ted fish at their home near White
Haven Dr. Mcintosh was summon
ed. and being a former surgeon of
the British Army, who had served in
the tropics, he at once recognized
the conditions OF the patients TO be
that of extreme poison brought on by
eating bad fish. Recognizing the
seriousness of the malady, DR.. Nc
Intosh had the three patients brou-
ght to the hospital in this city,
where Dr.. Dick was called in consul
tation.
The sufferings of the three pa
tients were found to be very intense
and they were all three stone blind,
their eyes resembling the eyes Of
dead fish after having been baked in
the sun The bodies and limbs OF
the patients were as rigid as stone,
it being impossible to operate the
joints of the arms and knees. The
seventeen-year-ol boy died Satur-
day and the two smaller children are
making very heroic fight for life,
~but it is not thought that they 7an

New Market High School baseball
team in a very exciting game, by
the score of to 4. The battery of
the visitors was splendid, but the sup

scored. After the first inning, Moore
and McAllister were the battery, and
held the visitors to two runs in eight
innings. Numerous errors occurred,
but the weather was cool for a ball

that one of his men had rabbit meat
in his pail. He questioned the man.
Eyes, me got lots rabbit" was the
smiling reply.
"John," the foreman said, "you bring
me rabbit tomorrow"
John promised he would, and the
next day the foreman received his por-

became curious as to where John got
1t.

Loule's eyes were open. AND there
was look OF recognition in them.
LeOntine had left the room. Sebas-
tian and Louie looked at each other.
Then Louie spoke
81 know you, Sebastian Navarro"
he said. "You paid me to forge the
paper which Jerry Carson was sup
posed to have given you in return for
that money you never lent him."
Sebastian quivered, as If he were
about to spring at Louie's throat.
He could not know that the stun
ming blow on the head had restored
Louie's memory as 1t had been before
he received the first blow from the
falling beam at the cabaret fire.
Louis Lamb rose to his feet and
staggered toward him, pushing out
weakly with his hands.
"Lemme go!" he said, looking at
Sebastian sourly. "Take your hands
off me. You got no right to stop me-"
He pushed past him and encountered
Leontine In the doorway. She tried

him.
"You shall have your divorce" she
said, "when you have confessed your
crime and cleared Jerry Carson's
name"
$50 you did recognize me this morn
ing, eh?"
One-Lamp Louie looked at Avery,
Bob Hamiltons assistant, in astonish-
ment.
81 don't know what you mean," he
answered. II never saw you this morn

"What do you mean, One-Lamp?
Weren't you on these grounds this
