SYMPTOMS OF FLAX POISONING

The symptoms of poisoning from
fax (the poison is the deadly prussic
acid) vary according to the amount CT
poison taken. When large amount is
taken death comes quickly. The ami
mails break down with loud below
ing and rapidly succumb to respira-
tory failure and commissions.
When smaller quantities are taken
three stages are noticed. In the first
stage, there is vertigo, dizziness and
attempts at vomiting. Breathing be-
comes difficult and the animals are
restless. The mucous membranes are
a light red color. During the second
stage the animal breaks down in con-
WILSON'S, show very severe muscular
contractions and breathing becomes
slower. In the final stage, the animal
shows suffocation, the respirations
cease, the heart action becomes slower,
the temperature becomes reduced,
there is loss of consciousness which
terminates in death.

n. d. BACHELORS FALL FOR
LOVE LETTERS OF ANN LISTON

Dreams of a happy home have been
shattered and instead story follows
of how a woman, % years old, might
have become rich but for the action
of special agents of the government.
Ann Liston, woman of about a
dozen aliases, was sentenced to serve
Is days in the Cass county Jail this
morning by Judge Charles F. Amidon
of the federal court for using the
mails to defraud.
She might have had a much longer
sentence for such a serious offense
but for the fact that the judge took
pity upon her.
Lovers in Every Port.
According to the mass of evidence
collected by Postoffice Inspector
George H. Drake, Anna Liston had
lovers in every port. She won their
affections through an advertisement
which was placed in the twin city
newspapers and which read:
"Young widow wants housekeep-
ing. One small child" She signed
various names, getting mail at each
point under a different name. At
Devils Lake the mail reached her in
the name of Hazel Cotter. At an
oCiiCl PolllC III VIC oCdCc 1cCCCIS CdIuc
to her as Ethel Darlington.
Advertisements were sent from
Fargo, Devils Lake, Leeds, Powers
Lake, Medina and Rolla.
Letters, Letters, Letters.
One would never think that North
Dakota bachelors were so wild about
women. Some 300 letters were adj
dressed to her and in some instances
railroad fare from Sd to $14 was en-
closed, telling her to come at once.
A wealthy St. Peter, Mimi, farmer,
whose name is withheld by federal au-
| tho1ities, read of the advertisement
and "fell." He sent her a $3.50 dia-
! mond ring. She was to meet him as

aged to "ditch" her admirers Just in
| time, and then go into new town and
play the old game over again.
North DakOtans Lost.
| That North Dakotans lost on the
game is positive. Bachelors and 9TH
ers who had written and promised her
| big homes in the west and all the com
forts of life, told their stories to the
government officials when she failed
to keep her promises. Officers were
! put on her trail and she was taken in
to custody at New Hampton, Ia, and
brought to Fargo Sunday evening, vol
unteerlng to accompany the federal
agent.
