| destroyed the bed clothing. On FRIDAY
steps We're taken to have her removed
to the city hospital and she was in a,
delirious condition when taken there
AFTER Sufrering great agony she died
there last evening at 7:30 without hav-
Ing regained consciousness from the
time of her arrival. The doctors at the
institution say that the girl died Of
brain fever, or meningitis.
When the signal service sergeant who
received the telegram announcing the
death Of Miss Doyle arrived at the
quarters of Sergeant Kain last night,
he was informed by weeping woman
WHO was coming out that Mrs. Kain
was dead. She had died at almost the
same instant as that in which Miss
Doyle breathed her last. Her agony
at the end was equal to that of the
unfortunate niece. Six hours earlier
she had taken a dose of Rough on Rats.
and her death was inevitable from the
moment she took the poison, though
she retained consciousness nearly the
whole time. There is some doubt about
the events leading up to the suicide,
but nearly every one connected with
the affair tells the same story.
Yesterday morning it was thought
that Miss Doyle had expressed q desire
to see her friend, Miss McGuf!in, the
daughter of Maj McGuffin. Sergeant
Kain drove Miss McGuffin to the hos
little chance for the girl to recover.
When he went home, it is said he ad-
dressed some reproaches to his wife
and then left her alone with Miss An
ME Byrne, q cousin of the dead girl.
Whatever Sergeant Kain said was no
doubt uttered in the grief OF the mo-
nlert, but in the state of mind Of Mrs
Kain it sufficed to cause her mental
collapse. She mixed couple Of glasses
OF lemonade for herself and Miss Byrne
and into her own she put q portion
of Rough on Rats. AS she handed Miss
Byrne her glass. Mrs. Kain remarked
Il will be the first to meet Lizzie
After swallowing the poison she told
the girl what she had taken Miss
Byrne created an alarm at once, and
+ DIR. Shaw was sent for. He sent for
Surgeon Borden, and the two doctors
spent nearly the whole afternoon try
ing to assuage the pangs caused by the
arsenic. They, however, could do moth
ing for her and after violent henor-
rhage about 7:S0 the woman died. Chap
lain Hart, Sergeant Kain and a. number
of others were with her at the time of
the death
The grief Of Mr.. Kain over his double
af1iiction was terrible to witness, and
fears were entertained that he would
attempt to put an end to himself Capt.
Gerlach, Chaplain Hart and some other
officers and friends found it necessary
to Uca all their efforts to quiet the
grief-craZed man, who declared that he
had nothing further to live for, hold
ing himself in some measure RESPONSE
bic for what had happened. 1t was
not possible to leave him alone, and,
although no guard was put on him, he
was closely locked after all night.
TIE st. Paul au III itisS WEI not noti-
fed Of the matter, nOr was the Henne-
pin county coroner officially notified It
SEE ms that the mi t l. Y authorities have
complete jurisdiction on the raserva-
ton and when the hospital attendant
went about preparing the body Cf Mrs.
Kain for burial DR.. Byrne sent word
not to remove the body until he arrived.
1t was said that the post surgeons
would perform an autopsy and make
inquiry into the death. It is probable
that the civil authorities will be noti-
fed today.
The remairs of Miss Eoyle We're taken
to the Kain home last evening and
both bodies will be buried ct the same
time and in the cemetery at Smelling.
