LITTLE CHILD DRINKS A
QUANTITY OF COAL OIL
The little l-year-ohl child of
A. McCrary this morning got hold
of a can in which kerosine was
kept and drank a quantity of the
liquid before the mother could
interfere or prevent it. The little
one was hastily brought lo Ur.
Livingston's office, where medical
attention was given the little suf
ferer. Might policeman Trout
notified Mr. McCrary, who keeps
the herd of town cows on the bar,
and he hurried to the physician's
office. Mrs. McCrary was very
much concerned, as she did not
know what quantity of oil was in
the can and she feared the child
was badly poisoned. The doctor
reassured her and thought the
child had not drank more than a
couple of swallows, and it is bo
lievod that it will soon be all right
again.
