EAT CASTOR BEANS AND WERE

THROUGHOUT NIGHT.

Three visiting girls, Doris and Ar
dell Moses, aged ten and twelve years,
daughters Of Floyd Moses of Hope,
and Noel Levins, eight year old
daughter of Mr.. Robert Levins, for
merly of Spring Hill, showed symp-
toms of poisoning about 4 o'clock

ing a number Of castor beans, and the
condition of the three children was
critical throughout the night. They
recovered sufficiently Wednesday for
the Moses children to accompany
their father home. The Levins child
remained here, as her father moved to
Washington Wednesday. All are now
out Of danger.
The Moses girls were visiting their
uncle, DR.. f. o. Wood, and the Levius
child was visiting her grandfather, Mr..
J. W. Moses. They were spending the
afternoon at the home of Mr.. Marion
Monroe, who has rooms at the M. w.
Wilson residence, and ate the castor
beans from bush in the back yard,
thinking, as they said, that "they were
some kind of nuts" They were soon
violently "sick of the stomach" and
were considerably depressed. DR.. F.
O. Wood was Immediately summoned
and DR.. Cannon accompanied Mr.
Moses from Hope in car. Both ply
sicians said they had never seen a
similar caase Of poisoning and that it
was very unusual, but they worked
faithfully until their patients were
out of danger.
