YOUNG MAN'S SUDDEN DEATH
Roy Amsden, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Amsden, aged seventeen years, died at the home of his parents near Waldron this morning at 6 o'clock. Roy, with several other boy companions, attended the fair here last week and on Friday they partook heartily of corn and beans at dinner on the fair grounds, from which all the boys were taken sick. Roy was taken to his bed on Saturday.
Dr. Randolph, who was called as a consulting physician, said today that the boy died of toxinia [sic], but the exact nature of the poison could not be told unless a post mortem examination were held. The other boys have recovered from the effects of the poison, but Roy was not strong enough to throw it off.
Roy was born in the house where he died, April 1, 1888, afterwards coming with his parents to this city, where he was educated in the public schools. He was a student in the high school last year, finally quitting school last March.
