POISON TRAGEDY IN
PRETTY WIFE'S DEATH
Autopsy Over Body of Horseman Meyers
Spouse Arouses Suspicion


MISHAWKA, Ind, Jan. 20.-Poison al
legged to have been found in the stomach
of the pretty young wife of George Meyer,
the well known horseman, who died I'M
der mysterious circumstances, has given
rise to hints of tragedy. Whether Mrs
Meyer was the victim of a drug acct
dentally taken or whether she was secret
ly slain by some one who wished to get
her out of the way are the hypothesis
upon which Coroner Holtzendorf is work
ing today.
Suspicion Immediately attached to Mrs.
Meyers death, and the coroner was called
to Investigate the case by persons who be-
lieyed that everything was not as it
should be. Witnesses at the autopsy de-
clared that traces of subtle poison were
found in the viscera of the dead woman.
An analysis of the stomach must be
made, however, before it can be ascer-
tanned as to the nature of the drug which
caused her death.
Coroner Holtzendorf is taking every pre-
caution to guard the details of the case
before taking any legal steps leading to
the apprehension Of the persons suspected
1t is believed that the inquest will reveal
evidence of a startling character that may
call for the attention Of the grand jury.
Mrs. Meyer was beautiful young ma
iron and had many admirers in the social
set in which she mingled. No breath of
suspicion has ever attached to her name
and she was noted for her many acts Of
charity and beneyolence.

NEWS OF THE CITY
ACTRESS ON SKATES
Miss Maxine Elliott Visits Down
Town Rink

Miss Maxine Elliott, the actress, went
skating last night at the down town
rink, after she had ended her per-
Torrance at the Metropolitan opera
house. She was accompanied by some
twenty members of her company.
Miss Elliott is an accomplished
skater, being a constant patron, when
at home, of the exclusive ST. Nicholas
rink in Manhattan. The services of
her supporting company last night
were therefore altogether nominal. So
far, indeed, were some of the less skill
full members from possessing the sta
bility of the star that most of the or
ganization soon drifted down into a
popular price standard and delight
ed all onlookers by a spirited rehearsal
OF The Helping Hand.
That the star should outskate her
company accorded with tradition. But
no memory of either the oldest juye-
nile nor the youngest "old man." could
recall a "co,' in which the leading
man played constantly behind, and the
fullest soubrette dared tell the man
ager that he had sixteen stars at least
-sixteen-count EN-! Why, I've seen
dozen myself since I came OIL
mean came DOWN."
Yet the facts that most Of the cast
soon recovered, and that the heavy
man braved every air hole in hopes to
get a hand, relieved the melodrama of
excessive tragedy.
Miss Elliott could not find skate
quite small enough. She was as an
noyed as beautiful woman will per-
nit herself to be.
AT the Nick" she observed pen
sively, "they always keep their pair of
No. IS. for me-" No. IS in skates, one
should know, are far, very far from

and Affair Causes Scandal

MARION, Ind, Jan. 20.-Miss Viola
Resser, aged 20, a pretty brunette who
taught the Babb school south of Ma
rion, is alleged to have become infat-
uated with George Scott, sixteen
years of age, one of her pupils. The
allegation caused such sensation in
the neighbOrhood that Peter Hegner
trustee of Franklin township, it is
stated, asked the young woman to re-
sign, and when she refused compelled
her to give up the school.
Mr.. and Mrs. Monroe Scott, parents
of the boy, first learned of the situa-
ton by actions which they say occur
red while she was guest at the Scott
nome. The parents of the boy talked
to the son and to the teacher, they
say, without success.
Mr.. Scott said today: 81 did not
want the affair to become public, for
the good of the girl and the school,
but was unable to prevent it. I went
to Peter Hegner, trustee of Franklin
township, told him of the affair, and
asked him to Investigate it, Hegner
did investigate, and learned that the
young woman had been indiscreet.
Hegner asked her to resign. She re-
fused, and he compelled her to give
up her school.
Miss Resser came here from Rock
ville,a Park county. She=was highly rec
commended by the county superintend-
emf of schools and was an efficient
teacher until her infatuation for my
son developed. Miss Resser returned
to her home near Rockville during the
holiday vacation. Since that time she
has been writing tommy son. 1 inter-
cepted some of the letters written by
her.-SFhe- fastsone-received stated that
she would send him money with which

TREE GROWS LOO.
FEET DOWN IN MINE
Mysterious Air Currents and Water
Courses Keep It Alive

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, Jan. 90
Eleven hundred feet underground miners
on the American Eagle, one of the STRAIT
ton properties on Bull HILL found tree
in a good state of preservation, except as
to the leaves, and apparently growing,
with sap sunder the bark. The tree stood
out before the miners in the side of the
shaft. One of the branches, about two
inches in diameter, had been cut off, and
there were visible prints of either knife
or Ratchet. Just how the tree became
covered with earth or if at one time it
appeared above the ground is puzzling
the camp.
There are number of water courses in
the Eagle, and the men in that mine have
always been able to tell by the draft in
the levels which way the wind was blow
ing on the surface. In the adjoining prop
erty-the Logan-there is draft which
the miners call the devils breath. 1t is a
strong current of air which seems to come
from the solid rock and extinguishes
lighted candles.

of the ST. Petersburg correspondents

theory that the '.Neva incident" the

The Telegraph correspondent says:

sion arrived at is that the substitution
of a filled cartridge for blank car
fridge was the result of mistake
made by inexperienced soldiers. If a

genuine cartridges no less than eleven
officers of various companies and sta
