H. Syphers Poisorfed While Spread- ing Preparation on Potato Plants. C. H. Syphers of 98 Mansfleld ave- nue, while spreading Parig green on his potato plants Monday of this week, inhaled a considerable quantity of the poison, which was forced into his mouth and nostrils by a gust of wind. At the time he paid no attention to the accident, but the symptoms of ar- senic poisoning became so apparent Thursday that he sought the aid of a physician, and is now under his care and in a serious condition. It takes but a couple of grains of arsenic to bring about fatal results, and while the amount of the preparation which Mr. Syphers iphaled was consjderable, a very small per cent. of arsenic only ‘would be needed to cause him a great deal of pain and Incomvenience, Back to the Old Home. E. B. Gager, a native of this coun- ty and a cousin of Judge Gager of the superior court, is back east after an absence of over forty years, and is ex- pected to visit his birthplace this week.

Fuller. ‘The following from the Dalily Cour- fer of Colton, Cal, wiil be of interest to many in this vicinity who knew Mrs. Clarissa Fuller, a former resi- dent of Willimantic, the wife of L. J. Fuller, who conducted the drug store on the site where Wilson's drug store now stands. Mrs. Clarissa Rebecca Fuller sank quietly into her last sleep, t end coming at about half past seven o'clock at the home of her son, W. C. Fuller, on North Eighth street, where her last years had been spent and where she had been lovingly cared for by the son and grandson and his wife. In her passing the city mourns one of its most loved and venerable women, as she lacked but three months of lv- ing to celebrate the ninety-fifth an- niversary of her birth. For three years she had been obliged to keep to her bed., although at first not all the time, for she loved to be up and dressed whenever possible, but of late, for a year perhaps, the ebbing strength of her frail body had not permitted that. and ten she was generally In the full possession of the senses that make life worth living. Grandma Fuller was born at Kil- Connecticut, September 20, In her home town she was a reigning belle of the early days. One ot her schoolmates was the elder Tif- and one of the stories she used te was how, upon a visit to New York, she had gone into the big store ;of the famous house of Tiffany and how Mr, Tiffany had recognized her at once, although she had grown to womanhood, and how he had saluted her with the old childhood name of “Clarissy,” and they had a most de- lightful “visit. Included among her acquaintances was the poet Longfellow. In 1227, with her husband, L. J. Fuller, she came to Colten, In 1894 the husband died and of late years she had been a member of the household of her son and grand- son, Charles B. Fuller, on North TBighth street. One other grandson survives, H. H, Fuller of San Ra- feael, ‘The funeral services are to be held at the Knopsynder chapel and will be private. The body will be taken to Los Angeles for cremation.
