         KILLED BY IGNORANCE.
         
         MARTIN SKAROUPA, a Saginaw Polander,
         died from the effects of an overdose
         of croton oil, given through the
         ignorance of JOHN KLAPINSKI with
         whom he boarded.  The latter was
         told by a busybody that croton oil
         would cure the patient and accordingly
         he gave the poor fellow two drams of
         the deadly drug when two drops con-
         stitute the maximum dose.  SKAROUPA
         died some hours later in terrible
         agony.
