today, but plans We're never formu-

idea was not put into execution At
this time when there is no special
need for a labor union demonstration
1t was felt that the day should be

HE ATE STRYCHNINE
IN POISONED PIE

Evanston, Wyo., Sept. AT the
term of the district court, which be-
gins here, the first trial of a woman
for murder in this county will be
held. The defendants are Mrs. Anna
l.. Bruce and her daughter, Miss An
ME Bruce, both of Smoot, this coun-
ty.
They are charged with numbering
James Bruce, husband and father,
All Of the parties are we'll known in
the county, having resided at Almy
for several years before moving to
Smoot Bruce conducted a small
store at Smoot, and owned a ranch
about two miles from town.
On the morning of March 21, Mr.
Bruce and two sons went to the ranch
to do some work. The boys ate their
breakfast before starting out, but Mr..
Bruce's breakfast was carried along
in a basket, he preferring to eat later
In the day. A pie, which his wife
and daughter had baked the previous
day, comprised a part of the lunch.
Strychnine i'm Pie.
Out in the field Bruce ate his
lunch, and when he got to the pie,
noticed a peculiar taste, and called
the attention Of one Of his sons to
the matter.
Before eating any considerable por-
ton Of the pie, Bruce was seized with
severe pains IN the stomach, lpllOW-
ed by convulsions, He died in less
than an hour
Before he lost consciousness Bruce
is alleged to have told Bishop Craney
and other neighbOrs who had been
called TO his assistance, that he had
been poisoned with strychnine In the
pie, and before he died he told his
oldest boy 10 save the piece of pie
for examination by the authorities.
The boy took the pie home and when
ne told his mother about saving it,
she is alleged to have thrown it into
the creek.
The coroner investigated the affair
and after the autopsy, portions Of the
stomach were sent 10 the state uni
versity for analysis. This analysis
showed a large quantity Of strych-
nine.
II is said some friction existed in
the Bruce family, beginning several
years ago when Mr.. Bruce was away
on a mission for the Mormon
churches These alleged differences
were patched up for a time. II is al
legged that a young farmer residing in
the vicinity Of the Bruce home may
be involved In the case.
