Collop, retiring worthy matron, attended with a token of commi- Inferior Telegraph Service Miss Marie Horstman was recently furnished by the Western Union telegraph company an illustration of the slowness in which telegraph messages may be delivered, and sometimes how they are not delivered at all. On the 8th inst., her uncle, John Bach, died at his home in San Francisco. Word was telegraphed her of the occurrence the afternoon of that day, but it was not until a week later, when Mr. Korn was reading a weekly San Francisco newspaper, that he was apprised of the death of his relative. That day a letter came expressing surprise that no response had been received to the telegram. Miss Horstman repaired to the telegraph office at the Southern Pacific depot and made inquiry regarding the message. The agent replied that it had arrived, but that not knowing the addressee he was unable to deliver it. The message was addressed to "Miss Marie Horstman, in care of F. A. Korn." Inasmuch as Mr. Korn has lived in this city since the times of the early pioneers, and is one of the best known citizens in the community, the failure to deliver the telegram was a gross breach of trust on the part of the telegraph operator, and cannot be too severely condemned. Poison In the Weff William Moeller, aged 60, who lives at West Anaheim, was the victim of strychnine poisoning one day last week, the case being more or less enveloped in mystery. Moeller partook of coffee for breakfast and was soon thereafter seized with symptoms of strychnine poisoning. Dr. Johnston was called at 10:30, two hours and a half after the poison had been taken. He found Poison In the Weff William Moeller, aged 60, who lives at West Anabeim, was the victim of strychnine poisoning one day last week, the case being more or less enveloped in mystery. Moeller partook of coffee for breakfast and was soon thereafter seized with symptoms of strychnine poisoning. Dr. Johnston was called at 10:30, two hours and a half after the poison had been taken. He found Moeller almost unconscious and in convulsive spasms. Restoratives were applied and after hard work the condition of the patient showed improvement. He has continued to improve and will probably in time recover. An examination of the premises revealed the fact that strychnine had been placed in the well, water from which had been taken to make the coffee. The rumor spread, and was given credence by neighbors, that an attempt had been made to poison the old man. Township officers take little stock in the story and lean to the idea that the case looks more like an attempt of suicide. An analysis of the well water reveals the presence of strychnine, but the officers have no evidence to base a charge against anyone. The case promises to remain a mystery.
