WOOD ALCOHOL CAUSES
DEATH, IS SUPPOS|T|ON
Elijah Watts Dies Tuesday Morning
From Poison Effects of Strange
Connection
TWO MORE ARE SICK
Bruce Piper and Mert Johnson Also
Suffering From What They
Drank Sunday

ElijahWatts died at his home Tues
day morning about 2:30 o'clock from
the results of concoction, supposed
Y attending physicians to have con
tanned wood alchol which he drank
on Sunday. Two other men, Bruce
Piper and Mert Johnson, are suffering
acute illness from the same cause
but are expected to recover. This
drink was sold to the men last Sun
day by a person whom they named
md who is belived to have left the
unity.
The peculiar effect of tch concoction
which was drunk leads the physi-
c ans to believe it contained wood
atchol, but just which one Of the many
formulate it is not known. The char
actcristics of wood alconol poisoning
are respiratory failure, accompanied
by absolute blindness. Watts SUI
f,rcd both these effects the most
ocular thing connected with his dcath
being the fact that his heart contiu-
u.d to beat for some time after he
.oppnd breathing, his death having
.ocn c'usod by the breaking down Of
respiratory center in the brain.
All three of these men were i'll all

from the poison which they had drunk

VIM. POLLOCK RECALLS
MEETING A. LINCOLN
Talked With Him on Steps of White
House Ten Days After Battle
OF Bull Run
WAS LIVING IN PENNSYLVANIA
Made Trip to Washington with Horse :
Which Col. Painter Was Supply
ing Government.

at was soon after the beginning Of
the war between the North and the
South that another young man and
myself volunteeed to take some
horses, a part of a large contract
made by Col. Israel Painter with tie
government, to Washington, in order
that we might see he capital city
and, if possible, the president"
Thus began William Pollock, one Of
Mexico's oldest resident, who is now
in his ninetieth year, when he was
asked to recall, for the benefit of Led
ger readers, the time he met the
martyred executive whose birthday
has just passed. He continued by say
ing::
81 was then running, for Col. Paint
er, in West Moreland County, Penn,
The mill which I had built for him a
few years previous, and in which, at
the beginning Of the war, l had taken
q one-third operating interest. AZ The
outbreak Of hostilities l was doing
construction work, but as soon as the
war began all building stopped; so l
returned to the milling business"
"After arriving in Washington and
putting our horses in the corrals, my
friend and l concluded we would go
up to the White House and try to see
the president and get look at the at
tractive places in and around the build
ing. Just as we reached the steps
of the porch Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln
came out the front door. They stop
ped to speak few kindly words with
us and to give us a hand-shake. Mrs.
Lincoln, who was supposed to be one
of the most gracious and most beauti-
full woman in the city, was very cor
dial to us, but the president had little
to say. 1t was exceedingly plain to be
seen that he was feeling greaely the
stress of the times and the RESPONSE
bility which was resting upon him.
After few moments he and Mrs. Lin
coin entered the carriage that was
waiting for them, and we went on in
side and satisfied our curiosity cor
cerning the White House and the ad,
joining ground.
"At this particular time Washing.
ton was in chaos and confusion, there
being many soldiers in the city VIII
had not yet been able to find theil
regiments after the very disastrous
first battle of Bull Run; and because
of this fact President Lincoln was per.
haps feeling unusually worried"
Mr.. Pollock said that he had met
many presidents during his life, and
at the moment recalled meetings with
Grant, johnson, Cleveland, Roosevelt
Taft and Wilson.
"Mr. Lincoln had a tremendous
burden resting on him during the time
of the Civil War;" Mr.. Pollock said
"But it was not nearly so great a!
the one carried so successfully BY
President Wilson during the recent
World War;"
