WERE THEY POISONED?
Ugly Rumors Afloat Regarding
Young MaxwelI's Death.

There seems To be good deal of
mystery attached TO the death of the
widow Maxwell, : vear-old son, five
miles northeast of Sheldon, on last
Monday afternoon, saws the Nevada
Nail.
1t will he remembered that the
child had sore throat and he was
given a mixture of cream Of tartar
and sulphur. being seized with IA >pasm
shortly thereafter, dying in great
agony almost Immediately. 1t now
transpires that little sister, younger
than the boy, was similarly affected.
having taken some of the same mix
ture for her throat. The physicians
arrived in time, however, to save her
life by administering an emetic.
The druggist at Sheldon, from
whom the cream of tarter was pur-
chased, Monday morning, is positive
that it was cream of tartar he gave
out. The mother, who made up the
mixture, is equally positive that she
did not by mistake use the contents of
a strychnine bottle. which is said to
have its place on the same shelf with
the cream of tartar bottle. The ru-
NOR, whether well founded or not, is
to the effect that some enemy of the
family placed the strychnine in the
medicine. The physicians state SO it
is said, that the symptoms were I'M
doubtedly those of strychnine poison
ing.
A fact that tends to confederate the
suspicion that some one meddled with
the medicine, is quoted to the effect
that Just the day before, the family
were all taken sick from eating beef:
steak. The boy who died, ate but
little of the meat, saying it was bitter.
Indeed none of the family partook
very freely of the meat because of a
peculiar bitterness it seemed to have.
But the little they tasted resulted in
making them sick The meat wa:
thrown out to the dogs which eat it.
Both dogs, it is said, died the next
day in spasms. These facts, if they
are facts, certainly warrant an inves
tigation.

The Benson Tragedy.

LEAvENwORTH, kaS., Dec. D.
A few minutes past Z o'clock this
morning c. A. Benson, the con-
demned murderer of Theresa Nett
man, whose appeal to the supreme
court on a writ of error has just been
denied, made a vigorous attempt at
tack with murderous knife on Capt.
Morgan. his aged death watch. He
forced Morgan to his knees, but the
old man pleaded 80 hard for mercy
that Benson said he could not
find heart to kill him. The
disturbance brought the taller to the
rescue of Morgan, but IA they We're
coming up stairs Benson plunged the
knife twice into his own left side, once
under the heart and again penetrat-
ing the wall of the stomach. WheH
the men entered the room the cn':
demned man told them he had tal.cn
poison and would die in five minuir-.
Morgan was 50 used up that he could
not tell just what had happened.
PHYSICIANS say that Benson is I'M
conscious and diving. He made no
confession. The iailer> were warned hy
prisoner two weeks ago that Benson
had knife and would kill the guard,
but a most vigorous search failed Ia
find it.
Ills CRIME.
Charles Albert Benson was an Aus
tralian and came to this country in
1856. In March of 1891, he deceived
Mrs. Theresa Mettman to the military
reservation. murdered her and cut up
the body in three pieces, sinking them
in the Missouri river. The murder
was done to get possession of 500 and
to keep Mrs. Mettman from telling
Benson's wife of his improper relations
with the murdered woman's daughter.
The discovery of one of the sacks
with part of the diSmembered body
brough. the crime to light.
