Lillie Stifer aroused the interest of the household to an investigation. They found,a “fry” on its back, kicking ita heels in the air as if in great pain. It was thought the chick had been overcome |by heat and a bucket of cold water was poured over it to cool it off. ‘Then ‘it was suggested that {ts neck was broken, but examination proved that part to be intact. Some one said that chickens acted pecul larly when they swallowed a bee, and the miserable fowl was given cold sweet milk for relief of the possible bee sting. It was also stood upon ita head and shakes several times to re move the bee or whatever might be causing its suffering, but after an hour's first aid the fow! turned over and died. It was decided to hold an “autop- sy.” W. C. Fuller used a pruning knife, opened its craw and examined the contents, but no trace of any thing harmful was found. He then proceeded to the gizzard and, as he punctured that organ, smoke and sul phur fumes emerged, and with the sand and other rough Ywatertal there was found a burned match head Many persons of the neighborhood will testify that smoke and sulphur fumes came from the chicken’s,gix- zard, and that the grinding process of the stomach ignited the match.
