analyst, on his investigation of several

ted TO him % samples Of which he
found p had been adulterated In
some samples was found the presence
of salicylic acid. in others boracic acid,
in others cial oil and in others FORMS

DR.. WenzelTs report was at once ac-
cepted by the board, but when Dr.
Morse moved to have every person in
whose store the adulterated stuff had
been found placed under arrest, Mayor
Sutro, who presided made an objec-
ton. He said that to make an exam
pie of one offender would bring about
as good a result as if 100 were gathered
in the fold. The other members Of the
board did not agree with his honor.
and in addition to the acceptance of
DR.. Wenzelrs report the suggestion of
DR.. Morse was adopted. A wholesale

for Killing a Rival.

CHELSEA Q. T), Nov. 1.-To-day

Jonas Deer, another member of his own
tribe, was legally executed for the
crime
The men were rivals for the hand of
the same girl and fought at a dance
at which she was present to decide who
should gain her. Watka killed Deer,
and afterwards married the Indian
maiden.
Several days prior to the time fixed
for his death preparations for his wife's
future welfare We're completed, and the
pang of parting over Watka set out
alone to the public execution grounds.
In due time he arrived-the crowd was
waiting The prisoner assumed his po-
sition, on bended knees, with arms tied
behind and a blindfold over his eyes.
The rifle was placed in the hands OF a
keen marksman, a sharp crack and the
white spot marked for the heart was
discolored with the squirting blood
caused by the deadly bullet.
Late this summer Watka went to
Kansas City with baseball nine of his
fellow-reds and played a game at one

to escape, but returned to the Terri
tory of his own accord, that his SEN
