ARKANSAS     [ARKANSAS] Van Buren Argus April 22, 1891 Date:    2/26/03 1:02:10 PM Eastern Standard Time From:    alverson@valuelinx.net (Fran Warren) Reply-to:    ARKANSAS-L@rootsweb.com  To:    ARKANSAS-L@rootsweb.com The Van Buren Argus Van Buren, Crawford County, Arkansas April 22, 1891 April 22, 1891 Arkansas State News A CARNIVAL OF BLOODSHED A bloody affray occurred at Alf Skinner’s lumber camp near Ryno, in Randolph County, several days since. The fight occurred at Jack Cassidy’s boarding house. Cassidy came home drunk and began abusing his wife, and finally struck her. William Smith, a boarder, interfered, which so enraged Cassidy that he drew a large pocket knife, cutting Smith in the shoulder and stabbing him in the abdomen, the latter wound proving fatal. Cassidy ran out of the house, and in the yard met Alf Skinner, who told him he had killed Smith. "Well, if I have killed him," said Cassidy, "I’ll have to leave the country, but before I go away I’ll kill someone else." Cassidy then plunged the knife into Skinner’s shoulder. The later drew a revolver and fired at Cassidy, the ball entering his bowels. Cassidy was taken into the house and died in a few hours afterward. Skinner was stabbed in the lung, and it is expected he will die. KILLED BY A WIND-MILL A fatal accident occurred on the Gleason’s Farm, southwest of Little Rock the other day, James Sumpter being the victim. Sumpter, with a boy, had climbed to the top of a wind-mill for the purpose of repairing it, but neglected to fasten it. When they had ascended, a gust of wind sprung up, causing the wheel to turn. Sumpter was thrown to the ground, sixty-five feet, and was instantly killed. The boy saved himself by catching and holding on to the wheel. The deceased was an employee of Mr. Gleason, and was about 25 years of age. SENTENCED TO HANG Robert Williams, who, in November last, shot and instantly killed A B Hayes while the latter was drawing a bucket of water from a well, has been sentenced to hang at Pine Bluff on Wednesday, June 3. The doomed man took the sentence stoically. "DEAD SHOT COX" DEAD Deputy Sheriff Wiley Cox, of Fort Smith, known as "Dead Shot Cox", died the other day from wounds received last October during fair week. Jim McNally, the man who shot him, is still at large.

Lowe, S. C. Dunn, John W. Patterson, John Stafford, Carl Means, John and James Ross and Samuel Baker.  The first settlements were made along the Nodaway River in the eastern portion of the county. In 1853 the county government was organized by the election of the following officers:  Anos G. Lowe, judge; S. C. Dunn, clerk; John W. Patterson, treasurer, and R. W. Rogers, sheriff.  The commissioners chosen to locate the county-seat selected a tract of land in the center of the county where a town was laid out and named Frankfort, July, 1854.  The first house was built by John Burnside.  Dr. Asa Bond and A. G, Lowe soon located there and the new town made a rapid growth.  Samuel Baker taught the first school in the county in 1856.  In 1857 Alfred Hebard, David Remick and Charles Hendrie laid out the town of Red Oak on the banks of the Nishnabotna River.  The same year Joseph Zuber built the first house on the town site.  In 1863 by a vote of the people the county-seat was removed from Frankfort to Red Oak.  From that time Frankfort declined and many of its buildings, including the court-house, were removed to Red Oak.  In March, 1868, Webster Eaton established a weekly newspaper named the Montgomery County Express, the first in the county.  The main line of the Burlington Railroad runs through the county from east to west.

The known cause was the pork the soldiers had been fed. PBS and other media have reported extensively on this and how our soldiers took the disease to Europe and spread it until it was a world-wide killer. My grandmother and aunt contracted the disease. The aunt was a young child and died. My grandmother survived. They were quarantined in a hospital in Chicago which is south of their hometown. They lived near the Great Lakes Naval Station and also Fort Sheridan so the town was hit hard by this disease. Just want to clarify the origination point of this disease and the epidemic and cause.

The current information is listed first, and then the historical, starting back at the time of Lister and moving to 1902.  From the stand point of medicine, killing germs was a HUGE advancement! We'd be looking for many more ancestors,  if this had been discovered earlier. I noted several mentions of accidental Carbolic Acid poisoning in searching for the below material. I found a homeopathy place selling all sorts of various preparations of Carbolic Acid, but if you read all of this, you may wonder why you'd order it!  Lysol is a related chemical, I've read it is the phenol in Lysol that is poisonous to cats particularly....From a current online medical encyclopedia Carbolic acid Alternative names    Phenol Poisoning caused by an exposure to carbolic acid. Where Found     various antiseptics      various disinfectants      various germicides      adhesive dyes      perfumes      textiles      lubricating oils In the late 1860s, Joseph Lister, a surgeon in Glasgow, Scotland, followed Pasteur's lead: he  devised antiseptic surgical techniques, using chemicals to kill bacteria. 1867 Carbolic acid introduced   Introduction of carbolic acid (phenol) as antiseptic in   surgery, by Joseph Lister We could not enter the amphitheater until carbolic acid atomizers had been playing long enough to fill the room with a haze of steam. The patient was brought in and the field of operation was scrubbed with soap and water and a stiff brush, and then washed with bichloride of mercury, and then surrounded with towels wrung out of the same solution. Before beginning the operation, Dr. Weber would carefully spray his luxuriant beard with 5% carbolic acid and, as soon as the operation began, two atomizers spraying from opposite sides kept the wound continually bathed in carbolic acid mist. The making of the carbolic solutions was usually left to the hospital interns, and frequently the acid was so poorly mixed that large globules floated in the solutions in which we bathed our hands or immersed our instruments. The result was minor burns of the fingers and distinct numbing of the sense of touch. At this time iodoform was first becoming popular because of its anesthetic effect upon open wounds, and its supposed antiseptic properties. I think it was due chiefly to the free use of iodoform and carbolic acid, whose disagreeable odor clung to ones clothes and hair and became particularly noticeable when in a warm room, that I contracted a habit of not going to church. A Compend of Materia Medica, Therapeutics, and Prescription Writing                                                by Sam’l O. L. Potter, M.D., M.R.C.P.L., 1902. Carbolic acid—Phenol Source and Composition. Carbolic Acid, C6H5HO, or C6H6O,—also known by the names Phenyl Alcohol, Phenic Acid and Phenol,—is a constituent of coal tar, obtained by fractional distillation and subsequently purified. Its claims to be considered an acid are very feeble, as, though it has a faint acid reaction and combines with salifiable bases, it is incapable of neutralizing alkalies, and its combinations are decomposed by the feeblest acids, sometimes even by water. Physiological Action. Carbolic Acid is a powerful antiseptic and antiferment, deodorizer and disinfectant, being very destructive to low forms of life when used in sufficient strength. It is powerfully poisonous to the tissues, and when applied directly to muscle or nerve, it paralyzes them at once without previous stimulation. When swallowed undiluted, Carbolic Acid produces violent gastro-enteritis, with vomiting and purging, followed by collapse, delirium, and often by convulsions and death. After absorption it acts by selection upon the medulla, especially on the respiratory and vaso-motor centres therein, which it first briefly stimulates and then completely paralyzes. It stimulates the cardiac inhibition., first slowing the heart, then depressing and finally paralyzing it. Respiration, at first increased, is soon depressed, the pupils are contracted, and the brain and spinal cord are directly affected,—stupor, coma, suspended reflexes, impaired motility and sensibility being produced. It is rapidly absorbed and diffused, many fatal cases having occurred from its local use in full strength. It is partly oxidized in the body, and partly eliminated by the lungs and kidneys, imparting to the urine a smoky appearance. vj of the pure acid have produced dangerous symptoms. Death from a medium dose occurs by paralysis of respiration, from a large dose by paralysis of the heart. The blood, after death, is very dark in color, and is almost non-coagulable. Carbolic Acid owes its past prominence to its having been the principal agent used in Lister's Antiseptic Method; but its use in that connection has become greatly restricted, many surgeons having abandoned it altogether in favor of other germicides. Locally, it has many uses, relieving pruritus of almost any form if applied in a 5 per cent. solution over the itching surface, and making an excellent gargle (1 per cent.) for the painful sore throat of diphtheria, tonsillitis, etc. Internally, in 1/4-grain doses it is an excellent remedy for nausea and vomiting, and it may be advantageously administered in dilute solution (2 to 5 per cent.) by spray, in many chronic pulmonary affections; also locally and by injection in—      Catarrhs,—acute and chronic.      Erysipelas.      Endo-metritis.      Parasitic Skin Diseases.      Synovitis.      Abscesses.      Uterine and other Ulcers.      Hydrocele.      Pulmonary Phthisis.      Exanthematous Fevers, and other Septic diseases,—Sodium Sulpho-carbolate internally in 5-grain doses every two or three hours, has been much praised      by many practitioners. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RHODE ISLAND [RIGENWEB] Gould - Brenton Date:    2/19/03 11:28:06 AM Eastern Standard Time From:    Dewolf2323@cs.com  Reply-to:    RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com  To:    RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com Rhode Island Land Evidences 1648 -1696 Pub.
