Moonshine whiskey has caused a
mother death in this locality. Dan
Mckenzie, II years old, died at the
st. Joseph hospital at Ashland last
Wednesday from poisoning brought
on from drinking moonshine whiskey
He was a native of Drummondsville,
a small town near Toronto, Canada,
and had been working for the Rust
Owen Lumber company at sDrurnmond
during the past two months.
He secured the moonshine about ten
days ago and while travelling thru
the woods with party of young men
the moonshine brand took effect. He
was rushed to the Ashland hospital
in a half crazed condition. He had
turned to a pumpkin yellow color
and was swollen terribly and so in
famed that he had to be put under
a general anaesthetic before anyone
could touch him. Half crazed with
pain, he became unconscious and died
shortly after his arrival at the hos
pital.
His parents were wired notifying
them of the death of their son.
In the case of Mckenzie it is said
that the moonshine had taken about
ten days to get in it's deadly effect
In some cases it produces blindness,
in others insanity, and in cases like
this young man, swelling and intense
pain and finally death.
1t could not be learned where the
young man obtained the moonshine.

sovereignty, and have confidence that
the supreme court of the United States
will so declare"

clared: I'm the Civil war men laid

The Preservation of Wild Life.

A commission is needed which would
be broad enough and encourageous
enough to tell the hunter, for exam
pie. that his hunting license should
cost several times what he now pays
and give only a fraction of the priv
ileges which it now gives; that open
seasons should be generally shortened
and that certain kinds of game in GER
tain places should be subject to no
open season whatever for a number OF
wears in succession-if any or all OF
these restrictions should appear neces-
