sLoMlNskI IN JAIL.
Former ottumwa Physician Has Beer
Arrested in Chicago.

FROM Mondays Daily.
There are doubtless many Ottum.-
vans who will remember DR.. L. Slom-
inski, who same ten years ago had an
office in the Ballingall hotel. While
in this city and since leaving here,
it is stated that the doctor has had
much trouble lodging the vigilance of
the several officers OF the peace in the
towns he has visited. Just before
leaving here, the professional man
was suspected of the murder of DR..
Lewis Stevens, who had charge of
Slominski's branch office in this city.
DIR. Stevens was found in room in
the office by DR.. Slominski at o'clock
one morning, in semi~conscious condi-
ton, supposed to have been suffocat-
ed by gas. Doctors worked with the
dying man for some time, but could not
revive him. A month later DIR. Slomin-
ski left this city for Burlington and
after being suspected of crime in that
city, he removed to Monmouth Ill.
From Monmouth he went to Chicago,
where he was given charge of Polish
hospital. His career in this capacity
did not last long, however. he having
some difficulty with the bishop of the
hospital. When prominent business
man was seen this morning by Cour-
Ter representative, he stated that there
are parties in this city who have trac-
ed DIR. Slominski's career in every city
in which he had been located and in
each place it was found there had oc-
Cured mysterious deaths during the
doctors stay. The local parties have
gathered enough evidence in regard to
the death of DR.. Stevens to make
trouble for DR.. Slominski, although it
has not yet been learned whether or
not they will push their convictions.
In Trouble Again.
Dr.. Slominskis latest grief Is told by the
following message from Chicago:
