Drank Corrosive Sublimate and Died.
Cedar Falls, Oct. 25.—Cloyd Tucker, a 2-year-old son of Samuel Tucker, drank a quantity of corrosive sublimate Saturday night, and died at 4 o’clock this morning. The family live at Beaver Grove, and were in Cedar Falls over Sunday with the family of Frank Tucker, a brother of the dead boy’s father. The boy found the bottle containing the poison and drank its contents. A physician was called when his condition was discovered, but it was too late to save his life.
