Wisley, Dick

a hard rock lead and zinc miner living at 203 South Netta Street, Picher Oklahoma, is confined to his home as the result of being bitten by a poisonous insect or snake. Wisley was taken ill soon after being bitten Tuesday morning. At first he paid but little attention to the incident as the sting caused only slight pain, but when he became violently ill a few minutes later a physician was summoned. Wisley told Dr. I. Phillips upon his arrival that he believed he had been bitten by a spider, but the illness caused by the bite was so similar to that resulting from snake bites that Dr. Phillips stated he believed that Wisley was bitten by a snake. Wisley's condition ws reported today as being much improved.
