BLACK WIDOWS FOND OF BITING SAN JUAN MAN BE. M. McMillon, trapper and forestry employe of North San Juan was yesterday bitten by a black widow spider. This is the fourth bite he has received from this venomous spider species, and so far from being immune, the efifect of the bite was to cover his arms and chest with huge blotches. He was bitten on te arm yesterday morning when he slipped on an old coat that he had not worn for months. MeMillon formerly lived on the Washburn ranch in a log cabin. While there he was bitten three times by black widows ‘and finally moved out bringing his belongings with him. It is believed he had not worn the coat since the spiders drove him from the Washburn ranch several weeks ago, and the spider is supposed to have lodged in one of the sleeves. McMillon, to whom black widow bites are an old story, refused to have a doctor called, declaring that by the time a doctor arrived from Nevada City, he would either be dead or .on the road to recov ery. He is still ill but the swelling is receding and he expects to pull through again. SUN DIAL DONATED TO SCOUT ORGANIZATION Girls.
