membered that Mr.. Drew left Bristol about

II is said he would have died Of consumption
If he had remained here:
Mr.. Edward K. Morgan, brother of ex-
Mayor Morgan, IS in this city on short visit
previous to returning to his cattle ranch in
the western part Of New Mexico. He has
associated with him in the ownership and
management Of the ranch Mr.. F. 3. Drew. a

men began their western expedition in cattle
raising two years ago with the Colorado Cat.
tie Company, of which Mr.. D. W, Sherwood
Is one Of the projectors and principal owners
and managers. Mr.. P. 7. Barnum formerly
owned large interest in the enterprise, but
afterwards sold out. The Colorado company
own about 10000 acres Of land and do
large business, which is steadily and rapidly
growing. Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Drew remain
ed on this ranch about year, and then
went to New Mexico and embarked in the
cattle business for themselves. They are 10.
Gated in good grazing country, have some
six hundred head of cattle, and are making
success Of their enterprise. Mr.. Morgan
says it is not so much taking up land in that
country as watering places the latter are the
irst essential ofstock raising, and the owner.

from their place is the ranch of ex-senator
Dorsey, the "Star Route" mail contractor.
He has about IT 900 head of cattle. A large
part of the territory is being taken up by an
English company which represents $l4 ,00O,-
700 of capital, and is going into the stock
'aising business on gigantic scale. They
'ecently paid for one ranch and the stock up.
IN it over $l,OOO,OO0. Mr.. Morgan, from
whom the above information was obtained, in
casual interview this morning, says that |

Mr.. EDIToR-Seeing in week before lasts I
ssue of the TELEGRAPH that poison had been
ound in the stomach of Mr.. Newcomb
Irowley's child, taks the liberty of send.
ng you the report of the chemist who made
he analysis, and would say that the report
vas not received till your paper was printed.
10 much for flying rumor. Below ia q copy
f Prof. Haines' letter to me-

OF RUsH MEpICAL COLLEGE,
CHICAGO, Dec 9th, 1881.
DEAR DoCToR-The child's stomach
laced by you in my hands has been subject.
d to careful analysis. but no trace of
trychnine has been discovered, although
numerous tests Of great delieaey have been
mploYed. 1t is rational TO conclude, there.
ore, that the child died Of disease rather
han from the effects of poison. It is we'll,
however, to remember that at long intervals
ge meet with rare exceptional cases of per-
ons known to have died Of poison, yet in
whose stomach no trace Of it can be found,
having either been removed before death |
y absorption, vomiting or purging, OF I'M
erwent rapid decomposition after death.
1t least two such cases are on record in con-
Iection with strychnine.
Yours Respectfully,
