DR.. Tyler Says It Was Due to Arsen-
ical Poisoning.

Denver, April 22-Most of the per-
sons who had any connection with
Representative Albert Gabrin's death
were gathered in the office of Chief
of Police Armstrong last night to tell
what they might know about it. The
inquiry was in n way informal, al
though all the testimony was recorded
by stenographer. Only about half
the witnesses were examined, but the
inquiry will be continued this evening
after which it is expected arrests Will
be made.
The most important testimony was
given by DR. G. l.. Tyler. secretary of
the state board of health, who was
called in by DIR. Kleiner on the night
of Gabrin's death for consultation. DR..
Tyler said:
Il was first called in for consulta-
tion the night of January Sth. re-
ceived telephone message informing
me that DIR. Klelner wanted me for
consultation and rode to the house on
my bicycle.
Questions answered by Gabrin
plainly Indicated to me that he was in
his right mind.
'Gabrin told me that he had taken
something. am quite confident that
he said that Mrs. Gabrln had given
him glass of wine. | am sure that
he said she had given him something
and | think 1t was wine. turned 10
Mrs. Gabrin and she said that her
husbands statement was true"
During the inquiry there was con
flict OF testimony on this point DIR.
Tyler testified positively as TO the
statement made by Gabrin on his
deathbead-that Mrs. Gabrln had
either givep him glass Of wine or
medicine. Mrs. Gabrin, when she was
called upon TO testify. denied positive.
ly that she had given her husband any
thing while the nurse was absent.
81 found Gabrin in state of extreme
collapse" said DIR. Tyler, continuing
his testimony. II gave 1t ms my
opinion that he would die within a
short time. was told by Herman
Gabrin, the father. Mrs. Gabrin and
the nurse that he had been doing well
until that afternoon. when the nurse
had left him.
I'VE found fresh Irritation AT the
mouth Of the stomach. such as would
have been caused by an lrrItant poison.
II was not an irritation Of long stand
ing. but one which was fresh"
Before finishing his testimony DR..
Tyler was asked what he believed 10
be the cause Of Albert Gnbrln's death.
Il think that II undoubtedly was due
to arsenlcal poisoning he replied.

T. J. TARsNEY DEAD
FORMER AoJurANr GENERAL.

Recently Returned From teh Philip
plnes-suffered From Injuries Re-
ceived at the Time of the Cripple
Creek War.
Pueblo, Colo. April 2O.--Former Ad-
jutant General Thomas j. Tarsney died
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock Mt his
late residence, No. 30I Spring street,
this city. The immediate cause Of his
death was dropsy. He had been in III
health since his return from the Philip
pines, two years ago, but his illness
was not considered serious until few
days ago, when he began sinking rap
idly.
Thomas ]. Tarsney, adjutant general
under Governor Waite's administra-
tion, figured conspicuously in one of
the most serious crises of the states
history, and bore the marks of that eN-
pericnce to the end. Leading his
troops in the Bull hill war at Cripple
Creek, tarred and feathered by the an
cry participants in that fight and feel
ing the effects of that terrible
night all the rest of his days, Tarsney
never could get the memory OF 1t out
of his mind and his friends think that
the horror of that memory contributed
to break down his health. He came
to Pueblo in 1874, and was afterward
admitted to the bar. He was appoint
ed adiutant general by Governor Waite
in 1894.
When the war between the mine op-
orators and the miners broke out ut
Cripple Creek, Tarsney, with the state
troops that the governor had called out
fastened to the seat of hostilities.
Tarsney was stopping at the Alta
Vista hotel in Colorado Springs. One
night mob surrounded the hotel,
broke into the generals room, carried
him some distance from the city and
there applied coat of tar and feath-
ers. When the angry men left him he
made his way back to the city and was
cared for by his friends. Tarsney, af-
ter the trouble was ended. returned to
Denver and remained in office till the
end of Governor Waites term, when
he went TO Durango, where he was dis
trict attorney at one time. \ few years
later he went to Pueblo.
When the troops We're being sent to
the Philippines. Tarsney entered the
army and was sent to the islands as an
army sutler He remained In Manila
after the Colorado troops returned
home and obtained concession to OPP
crate a ferry between Querlda and the
island of Corregidor. This venture
was not paying one, and after two
years spent in LuZon he came back TO
Pueblo
Tarsney was an orator of considera-
BILE ability and in the presidential cam
paign of 1896 he stumped several of the
eastern states in favor of w. ]. Bryan.
Failing in health and almost blind, his
pitiable condition attracted the atten-
tion OF the Thirteenth General Assem-
bly,. and an appropriation of 5000 was
made by that body for his relief.

Using his business. Mr.. Cannon has

81 in number, embracing the repre-

views. The book consists Of 40 pages,
printed on heavy enameled paper, and
is job Of which we are proud, and
many pronounce it the best illustrat-
ed real estate advertising they have
ever seen. A prominent man OF Cresco
after looking 1t over said: "Mr. Can
non deserves great credit for putting
out a book of this kind. 1t not only
helps him, but helps every farmer and
business man in the county," In a
