Was First to Discover Fire by Having
smeIled Woolens Searching and
Was First to Leave Car-verdict Of
coroner's Jury in Inquest Held at
Missouri Valley.

Mrs. DR.. Delaney, whose mother,
Mrs. Bridget Higgins, was aboard the
Pullman car in which Louis DeLarlo
lost his life at Missouri Valley, Ia,
Sunday morning, has received a letter
from that lady, dated at Chicago, in
which she recounts some of the expert
ences Detailing the inmates of the car,
She says she walked and smelled smoke
or something scorching, and was the
first to give the alarm. She believes
the fire must have been burning sew
eral minutes before the alarm was
given. All the passengers were taken
to another car in their night clothes
except Mr.. DeLario, who was not
missed. Mrs. Higgins was in her stock
ing feet for some time, catching cold
and suffering considerably from expos
ure. She was furnished with clothing
at the next station and reached Chi
cago thus clad, having lost everything
she had in the car, including her spec
tecles.
Hurt Hand on Broken Glass.
Mrs. Higgins says n of the state
rooms in the real of the car was oc-
cupied by a gentleman and his wife
and babe. He could not make his way
from the car as he hoped he would and
broke a plate glass window with his
hand. cutting an artery and suffering
much from loss of blood. Mrs. Hig-
gins could give no clew as to the
origin of the fire, and does not know
how it started. When she awoke the
car was full of odor of burning wool
n she quickly gave the alarm, she
being the first to leave the car.
The Omaha Bee of Monday. in re-
counting the story of the accident,
has the following of local interest:
Laramie Man Did Not Awaken.
Louis DeLario did not wake. He
was in a deep sleep n slept on until
his slumbers became eternal. His
body was found face downward in the
aisle of the car. Evidently he had be-
come partially overcome by the smoke
in his sleep and half waking had rolled
from his berth and struggled for his
life, but too late. He was terribly
burned, the flames having almost en-
tirely consumed what apparel he had
on. The sight of one passengers
charred body only served to heighten
the nervous strain upon the others,
but the cool heads of Conductor Ham
lin and those who were helping solve
the difficulty averted complications
from this cause"
Verdict of the Jury.
There was a cruel and entirely
groundless m here yesterday
morning that Mr.. DeLario might have
been murdered for his money. The
Republican declined to give voice to
it, and the action was commended
quite highly last evening. The verdict
of the jury, as telegraphed from Mis-
souri, Valley to the Omaha Bee, is as
follows:
"In the matter of the inquest held
upon the body of Louis DeLario. held
at Missouri Valley, Ia. January 6 and
Z, 1907: We, the jury in said inquest,
duly and legally sworn and empaneled,
find that said Louis DeLario came to

NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food. IL
man has insufficient food he loses strength
II he has no food he dies. Food is con-
verted into nutrition through the stom
ach and bowels. 1t depends on tho
strength of the stomach TO what extent
food eaten is cigeSted and aSSimlated.
People can die OF starvation who have
abundant food to eat. when the stomach
and its associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their dIty-
Thus the stomach is really the vital or
gan of the body. II the stomach is weak
the body will be weak also, becau.e il is
upon the stomach the body relies for its
strength. And as the body, considered n
a whole, IS made up of its several mem.
bers and organs. SO the weakness Of the
body as consequence of weak Stom-
ach Will be distributed among the or
cans which compose The body. II the
body Is weak because IL l. ill-nour.>hed
that physical weakness will be found in

have you anything TO say in contradic-
ton of these various suppositions"
For a moment DR.. Talbot, Mr.. Fen
ton and even Knapp stood silent; then
the latter said. with pardonabIe dry
ness:
"AlI this is ingenious; but, unfortu-
nately. it is upset by little fact which
you yourself have overlooked. Have
you examined attentively the dagger of
which you have so often spoken, Mr..
Sweetwater?"
Not as | would like to. but noticed
it had blood on it's edge and was of the
shape and size necessary to infiict the
wound from which Mrs. Webb died"
Very good, but there is something
else of interest to be observed on it.
Fetch it. Abel"
Abel, hurrying from the room, soon
brought back the weapon in question.
Sweetwater. with a vague sense Of dis
appointment disturbing him. took it
eagerly and studied it very closely.
But he only shook his head.
Bring it nearer to the light" sug-
gested Knapp. land examine the little
scroll near the top of the handle"
Sweetwater did SO and at once chang
ed color. In the midst Of the scroll
were two very small but yet perfectly
distinct letters. They were y. T."
How did Amabel Page come by a
dagger marked with the label ini-
tials?" questioned Knapp. DO you
think her foresight went so far as to
provide herself with q dagger ostensi-
bly, belonging to one OF these brothers?
And then have you forgotten that when
Mr.. Crane met the old man at Mrs.
Webb's gateway he saw in his hand
something that glistened? Now. what
was that if not this daggerT
Sweetwater was more disturbed than
he cared to acknowledge.
THAT just shows my lack of expert
ence." he grumbled. Il thought had
turned this subject SO thoroughly over
in my mind that no one could bring an
objection against it,"
Knapp shook his head and smiled.
Young enthusiasts like yourself are
great at forming theories which well
seasoned men like myself must regard
as fantasticai. However" he went on.
there is no doubt that Miss Page was
q witness to, even II she has not profit
ed by, the murder we have been consid-
ering. But with this palpable proof of
the labels direct connection with the
