was so far gone when he reached the
hospital that nothing could be done to
save his life. He had no watch OR
Jewelry in his possession but S.. 20 was
found In his pocket, together with sew
eral letters and receipts. His home
is said to have formerly been in Man
kato, where his parents are said to
reside. One of the papers was an ex-
press receipt for something sent to
Nicholas Weis, of Mankato. Weis was
about twentythree years of age. He
had been employed at the stove store
several months. He seems to have
had few intimate friends, and little is
known about him here. 1t is not known
how much money he had Saturday
night, nor if he had watch or other
iewelry.
Coroner Nelson will hold an inquest
today.
At an early hour this morning Capt.
Rouleau, after a personal investiga-
ton, ordered the arrest of FIossie
Keefe. She was locked up at the CEN
trail station to await the outcome of
further investigation. Capt. Rouleau
says he learned that the Keefe woman
purchased morphine early Saturday
night, ostensibly for her own use.

been given the poison. Weis was
congenial young fellow, always of
cheerful disposition, his friends say,
and they are not inclined to credit the
suicide theory, the only basis of which
seems to be the absence of other ex
plantations Of his death.
The last seen of Weis in possession of
his faculties by his friends was about
IL o'clock Saturday night, when he was
in the Ryan hotel billiard parlor with
Howard P. Sanders, a son of Capt. j.
H. Sanders. Young Sanders has
charge of a stock of refrigerators in
the same building, on Seventh street,
where Weis is employed in the stove
business. From business associations
Weis and Sanders, together with
John Ransom, living at 507 Holly ave-
nue., were frequently in each others
company, socially. AS Sanders is liv-
ing at the hotel with his parents, he
and Ransom often met Weis about the
billiard hall. Saturday Weis left San
ders and Ransom in the billiard room
shortly before IL o'clock. This was the
LAST SEEN OF WEBS
until he drove up to the hotel yester-
day afternoon after o'clock and sent
word into the billiard parlor for San
ders to come out to the carriage. San
ders went out, and says he found Weis
in a partially stupefed condition,
though able to talk. Weis told him,
Sanders says, that he had been
"doped'' He talked somewhat at ran
dom on this line young Sanders says,
continually making the claim in half
conscious manner about being 'doped."
Sanders says he attached no import
to Weis' story about being poisoned,
thinking that his friend was merely
the worse for liquor. With this idea in
mind Sanders decided to take Weis
around to the store and let him sleep
off the effects of the liquor he sup
posed him to have drunk. He got into
the hack with Weis and drove to the
store. Weis was able to walk to the
door and unlocked it himself. Inside
he drew a chair up to the radiator
and sat down. During this time, San
ders says, Weis appeared drowsy.
Sanders went back to the hotel leaving
Weis alone. About 4:30 o'clock San
ders returned to see how Weis was get
ting along, and found the young man
apparently sleeping quietly In the
chair. Shortly after o'clock San
ders, accompanied by John Ransom,
visited the store again and this time
tried to rouse Weis. He found the
young man unconscious. Vigorous eff
forts to arouse him proved Intellectual.
Becoming alarmed Sanders and Ran
som summoned Officer William Smith.
The policeman realized the seriousness
of the case and at once sent Weis to
the hospital The young fellow died
without recovering consciousness with
in an hour after reaching the institu-
ton.
When Capt. Rouleau learned that
Weis was dead he Immediately began
an investigation. Weis' movements
from the time he left the hotel Satur
