DrArH BY POISON.

CHICAGO. April POISON was admin
iStered in their food Friday night to the
family of f W. Newland, the retired
real-estate dealer who lived at 1896 Wa
bash avenue, and as a result both Mr..
and Mrs. Newland are dead, while
their children. Frank Newland, aged
q, and Oracle Newland, u years
old, have been violently i'll. but will
recover. A girl who had been employed
as cook by the family and who disap-
peared as soon as they showed symp-
toms of poisoning after dinner Friday
evening is now under arrest suspected
of having administered the fatal dose.
The prisoner was sent to the New
lands on Thursday from the Anchor
age mission. where she had given her
name as Mamie Starr. but to the New
lands she gave it as Emma stark. Fri
day afternoon at o'clock the girl com
planned of toothache and borrowed a
quarter of Oracle Newland to buy med
icine. About that hour DR. L. d. Rog-
ers, CLIO State street, says woman
bought box of rat poison at his drug
store.
The Stark girl, for it is almost certain
1T was her, returned to the Newland
residence from the drug store and at
once set about getting supper for the
family. Among other things prepared
for the meal was quantity of canned
corn, of which all partook, and it was
in this that the poison was supposed to
have been mixed. Shortly after eating
supper Mrs. Newland was taken with
violent attack of nausea and her son
Frank went in search of a physician.
While returning 20 his home with the
doctor the young man became so i'll
that his companion was forced TO carry
him a great part of the way. Arriving
at the house it was found that in addi-
ton to the illness of Mrs. Newland, her
husband and daughter were both very
sick.
Shortly after Mrs. Newland was at
tackled the servant girl left the house.
When the police were notified Of the af-
fair they obtained description of her.
and as it answered that of the woman
who had bought the poison at the drug
store. search was begun, and ended in
her arrest at the Park Theater Saturday
afternoon. She positively denied all
connection with the poisoning or that
she had ever been employed at the
residence of the Newlands, in spite
of the fact that she was identified
by number of persons Later on, how
ever, she admitted her identity and also
the fact that she had purchased the
poison, but stoutly maintained that she
did not put any in the food. She was
respondent and wanted the stuff in
order to put an end to her life. When
the family became sick she was
alarmed, and fearing that she might be
charged with poisoning them she rolled
the rat poison in her apron and
left the house, throwing it away after
wards. The girl had no possible mo-
tive for committing the crime. and the
belief is prevalent that she is crazy
and irres ponsible for her actions. She
gave her name as Della Foster and said
she was variety actress and that her
real name was Mrs. Starr William Ray.
She said she had daughter 9 years old
who was living with her husbsnd, bill

Ladd has 1927, Davis 2O,667, Larry
1867. Chase 773 Davis lacks 1901 of

and fifty-five votes are needed

officials also fail of an election by the
people. The Legislature will stand:
