ARSENIC BY MISTAKE

Escanaba, Mich., Nov. 22 - Alexander Turner, 74 years of age, died in great 
agony near here as a result of using arsenic by mistake for bahing powder in 
making biscuit. Turner and a young man were living in bachelor quarters in the 
woods a few miles from here. In preparing a meal they made mistake and used 
arsenic instead of baking powder. They tried to save themselves by drinking 
coffee. The younger man fought death for several hours, when he was able to 
drag himself to the nearest settlement for medical attention.
