ar Attempt to Kill His Relati yes.

Ottawa, April 23.-The acknowledge
ment Of a coldd- b1ooded attempt to pois-
on the Henry Hartford family, consist
of father, mother and daughter, by an
adopted 13-year-O boy, was made last
evening.
Mr.. Hartford. who is a butcher, had
some Rough On-Rats at the shop The
boy stole a quantity of it and when an
opportunity came he placed the poison
in some Oat meal while his mother was
preparing breakfast. On sitting down
to the table, the mother noticed some
greenish substance had been sprinkled
over the oat meal and called attention
to it. Mr.. Hartford at once thought of
the ROugh-on- Rats, and had an invest
igation made, which proved the sub
stance to be pOison.Later he also found,
concealed under a porch, a quantity of
Rough Rats. The boy was con-
frOnted by these facts and finally ac-
knowledged his design to poison the
other members of the family. He would
give no reason why he did it

In the case of John Rupin against
his mother-in-law, Mrs. Kate Moeser,
tried before Judge Hazen in the district
court yesterday, the jury returned a
verdict for the defendant this morning,
holding that she had the right to dis

but as the furniture formerly belonged
to her and was given by her as a gift
to her daughter personally, the jury de-
cided that she had the right to sell it
