Las Vegas Age - 1/24/1920


DIED FROM DRINKING WOOD ALCOHOL DOPE



    William QUINN, aged forty years, an employ of the railway eating house,

died January 17 as the result of drinking wood alcohol concoction.  He began

his debauch on the evening of payday.  Becoming half crazed he was placed

under arrest and afterward taken to the railroad hospital where he died.  He

was buried on the 20th.  Acute wood alcohol poisoning is given in the

certificate of death signed by Dr. HEWETSON.  The deceased was supposed to

have a mother and father in Salt Lake City, but it has been impossible to

get in communication with them.  This is the first death in Vegas since Nov.

27.
