NOT A SUICIDE
George Huffmier's Death at Newton
May Be Further investieated-Ru
NOR That He Was "Doped" Gains
Some Credence.

Special to Times Republican.
Newton, Aug. 11.-Altho there have
been various run1ors of suicide. and
foul play, the verdict of the coroners
jury is George Huffmier came to sud
den death thru poison administered by
his own hand, but not with suicidal in
tent. This verdict, however, has not
put stop to the rumors which have
been afioat, and the general impress
sion is that the affair will be further
investigated One story is to the effect
that some mysterious criminal whom
Huffmier was after, or who had been
prosecuted thru his assistance, substi-
tuted poison for the medicine in Huff
mier's bottle. There is no evidence to
substantiate this theory.
On account of the conflicting stories
which Huffmier told before he died.
some still adhere to the suicide theory
Huffmier told DR.. Smede, who attended
him, that he intended to take aconlts
and got Spanish fly by mistake. No
aconite could be found in his belong
ings.
Huffmier purchased the Spanish fly
at Kennedy's drug store at noon, ana
was taken i'll at o'clock. At O'Clock
he drove from the fair grounds TO
Harvey Sanders home and at y O'CLOCK
he entered comatose state from
which he could not be revived. He died
at $50 the next morning. The physl-
clans who attended him at the San
ders' home think that his symptoms
were those of morphine poisoning.
Huffmier has wife and three chill
dren at Knoxville, Ia, where he maze
his headquarters. altho he spent much
of his time away from home with his
bloodhounds and horses. His son, u
wears old, was with him in Newton at
the time of his death.

VXTHEN the kidneys become affected

If the kidneys fail in their work, the
