Man Grappled With Poison John Moore, an employe of the Falls City Lumber Company, was a victim of ptomaine poisoning, Sunday, and for a time death seemed almost certain. The poi sonous substance was contained in mush rooms which the Moore family ate at dinner, and it is miraculous that the wife and child, who also partook of the dish, were not afflicted. The poison remained dormant in the stomach for about an hour and it was after Moore had gone to a neighbor's well and drank freely of water that he became delirious.
