A FATAL WEDDING.
Seventy-Five Guests Mysteriously Poisoned
—Two of Them Dead.
DUBUQUE, Ia., Oct. 7.—Two deaths occurred near Sabula, Jackson county, Friday as the result of a poisoning at H. D. Gage's wedding, three weeks ago, which has affected seventy-five or 100 of the 300 quests. The groom’s condition is reported dangerous. The physician from several towns are unable to agree whether the poisoning was caused by pork or by pressed chicken, and have forwarded to Chicago for analysis the biceps muscles of George Bryant, who died Friday.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he was born Oct. 21, 1866 and died Oct. 3, 1895. He is buried in Sterling Cemetery.
