BABIES POISONED.
MILK FULL OF ARSENIC.
New York, July 30. Three babies died lately under mysterious circumstances at Wenatchee, Washington. The doctors were satisfied that they had been poisoned, but how none of them could tell. The fact, however, that the infants had all been fed on milk obtained from the same cow, prompted the medical men to make an analysis of the milk, with the result that distinct traces of arsenic and lead were discovered, The cow itself has since died, and it is now believed that the animal was poisoned while grazing in an orchard that was recently sprayed with eolation containing arsenic.
