DEADLY FLY POISON
A Two-Year-Old Child Swallows Fly Poison With Fatal Results.

The little two-year-old girl of Bernhard Kaufmann, who resides on the Eichhorn farm, in Remsen township, got hold of a saucer which contained paper soaking in water and drank the stuff on Friday afternoon. When it was discovered what the child had done, emetics were administered and medical aid sent for, but it was of no avail and the child died in a few hours.

The remains were interred Saturday in the Catholic cemetery, the services being held at St. Joseph’s church.
