posed to have started from an over

his efforts to save some of Mr.. Walk
er's property narrowly escaped death
in the flames.
Five horses belonging to Mr.. Walk
err were in the barn and the flames had
gained such Roadway when discovered

time to save them. Some persisted m
the fire and two were taken out of the
blazing barn but We're so badly burned
that they had to be shot.
Mr.. Walker lost several sleighs and

Des Moines. Dec. 1s.-A chemical
analysis of the contents of the stomach
of Mrs. Charles Woodward of Deca tur
county, is being made by Professor
Kinney at Drake University to ascer-
tain the cause of the woman's de-
mise, which is alleged to have been
peculiar.
The whole case appears to be full of
mystery. The autopsy, according to
Coroner Layton's story revealed evi-
dences of strychnine poisoning, the
certainty of which will be determined
by the chemical analysis which Pro-
fessor Kinney will make at Drake to-
day.
In connection with the action Of the
doctors is q strange story of son dis
inherited by a wealthy father in favor
of the sons wife. life insurance poll

GENTLY startling to make the setting

current flowed thru the broken dam,
today there is no water flowing thru.

to throw too strong pressure against
