Babe Swallows Deadly Cyanide Of Potash
Passes From Health To Death In Five Short Minutes

Mistaking a graduate filled with a solution of cyanide of potash for a glass of water, Paul, 3 year old son of Dr. H. H. Wynne, 208 1/2 West Main street, drank more than a drachma of the deadly fluid at 4:30 o'clock last evening and in less than five minutes was dead.

...He picked the babe up...rushing across the hall to the office of Dr. R. F. Graham...Dr. Wills and Dr. G. A. LaMotte were called and everything known to the medical science was done...

Funeral services will be conducted by the Rev. J. H. O. Smith, pastor of the First Christian church, at the residence, this afternoon.
