While hurry ing across a vacant lot she heard the bellowing of a big bull. One glance was sufficient to warn Miss Fair that she was the object of atraction of the maddened animal.

Captain Lawrence C. Phillips, father of 9-year-old Edwin Phillips, the other child who was badly burned in the same Bre, expects soon to undergo a skin- grafting operation for his son. These were the most serious cases re sulting from the Irvington Are. in which eight other children were more or less severely burned. Zelda Mosessohn was operated on three weeks ago. but the skin on that occasion was taken from her own body. This operation did not prove entirely successful, and another grafting was undertaken at St. Vincent's Hospital Tuesday by Drs. Tilzer and Sabin. Both the mother and the child were resting comfortably last eight. The Phillips boy has been recovering slowly and has been suffering consider able pain. Recently, however, he has been gaining strength, and his father s waiting until he is strong enough to withstand the grafting operation. Then he will be taken to a hospital and given the same treatment as that applied to the Mosessohn girl. SCENT AIDS POLICE Sl'SPECTKD PERFUME ROBBERS TRACED BY ODOR.

Nausea, muscular weakness and coma are some of the principal symptoms of the poisoning. There is no satisfactory medical remedy but affected livestock, if kept quiet for some time, will often recover, The death camas (Zygadenus) is most dangerous early in the season, not be cause the plant is more poisonous at that time, but because it is more likely to be eaten at that time when other forage is dry. Later, sheep are less likely to eat a large quantity because of the greater abundance of other food As a matter of fact, most of the cases of extensive poisoning have occurred before the flowering of the plant, which occurs in the late Spring. It is Impossible to make even an ap proximate estimate of the losses of sheep because of the Zygadenus, but it is certain that they are very large. In vestigations have led specialists to be lieve that many of the losses in Ore gon, Utah and California, which were ascribed fo other poisonous plants were really caused by the death camas, and without doubt this plant is one of the e " "'Z: L"" ,?r is 8al that in 1909 in "e county in school students of "b?tabl" Wyoming 20.000 sheep died because of were taken from a train at the relay r denot East St. Louis, by the police, fol , , , - - - m , i a ne ueaiu camas may do recognizea low ng a. telephone message IJo-tt. b notici lta iea hlc e rftss. boy's father.
