Dastardly Attempt by Unknown
Person, to Poison Jonathan
Fonlk, OF Marion
CIRCUMSTANCE is MYSTERIOUS
A Similar Attempt, and it is Believed

Cedar Rapids, April 10.--When jon
athan Foulls, of Marion. opened his door
early one morning three weeks ago
he found on his doorstep small paper
sack, which when opened was found
to contain nine chocolate creams,
which investigation showed contained
large quantities of crystal strychnine.
evidence of the fact that some one
either made an attempt on his life, or
else was playing rather dangerous
joke, as the eating of single piece
of the candy would have resulted in
his death. Last October an attempt
was made to poison his three children,
who We're then and still are in the SOL
diers' orphans home at Davenport.
Packages OF candy were sent to them,
which upon investigation proved to be
filled with strychnine. At the time it
was suspected that F'oulk himself had
sent the poisoned candy to them. but
the Investigations made soon convlnc-
ed the officials that he was not the
guilty party.
While there is absolutely nothing to
indicate who left the poisoned candy on
the Foulk doorstep, there is good rea-
son to believe that it was placed there
by the Same person or persons VINO
sent the candy to the children at Dav-
export An investigation Is pelhs
made. but there Is absolutely nothing
so far that would have a tendency to
throw any light on the matter Mr..
Foulk says that the sack OF candy
was placed on the doorstep after ~
o'clock of the night previous to the
time it was found, and just before ~
o'clock he opened the door and looked
out. At that time there was nothing
on the doorstep and the sack attract
I'D his attention the first thing In the
morning.
An Investigation Made.
Mr.. Foulk lives in the basement OF
the house occupied by Mrs. Burris
and her son, Henry Burris. Mr.. Foulk
did not move the sack, but called Hem
nv Burris and asked him what he
thought OF it. Mr.. Burris advised him
to take the candy to physician. ana
he carried 1t to the office of DR.. Sar-
gent, who found that each piece OF
candy had been opened near the base
and quantity of crystal strychnine in
serted in each one.
When this had been ascertained.
Mrs. Bur,.is remembered that she had
heard some one about the house about
10 o'clock on the night the candy was
left on Foulks doorstep, and looking
out noticed man leaving the yard.
She paid no further attention to the
matter at the time, and probably would
not have thought about it again had 1T
not been for the startling discovery
made.

present only half of the week and his
lines for the balance Of the time were
taken up by Professor Scroggie, Of Des

On two evenings during Mr.. Cliff
ford's stay he gave Illustrated lectures,
one on the cotton and silk industries,

road was surveyed some time ago us
far as LeMars from Sioux city, ana
now the survey is to come TINS way
by way of Remsen and Paullina, ana rs
to be run on half section lines so as
not to interfere with the section line
dirt roads The farmers in this vicin-
ity seem very willing to donate the
right of way, as by running on hair
section lines it does not spoil their
farms as il it ran diagonal, and the OPP
Grafton OF trains so far away from the
established highways will not interfere
with travel by soaring teams. as is us
ually the case with such lines of road.
The promoters ask $4,000 from the
people of Prmghar to pay for the sur
vey, and the amount was furnished by
one man. This road, 1t Is predicted,
will prove paying Investment, as 1T
will be short cut from Sioux City 70

City, as our people can go down and
back the same day to do shopping and
other business. However. the retail
merchants here look upon this rev
project as doubtful blessing, as it
will make it too easy for farmers and
others to reach Sioux City in order to
do their trading there.
