CHEMIST
FINDS THE POISON
AS RESULT OF HIS ANALYSIS OF
STOMACH FOUL MuRDER-IS
BEING uNEARTHED.
Smoot Ranehman Ate Of Dried Plum
Pie Made BY His Wife and Died
Within Hour In convuIsions-uin.
IA County Officers Working on
Theory Of Horrible Crime.

Evanston, Wyo.. April 1.-THE coun-
ty authorities here have received the
report Of State Chemist H. G.. knight
on the chemical analysis made of the
stomach and liver Of John H. Bruce.
the Smoot, Wyo, ranchman who died
recently under mysterious circum-
stances, after partaking of a piece Of
dried plum pie made by his wife.
s~trychnine in stomach.
The report Of the state chemist
shows that both the stomach and liver
Of Bruce contained strychnine poison.
The stomach had about three mouth
fuls of the pie. Part of this had gone
into the liver and part had been COM
m~unicated with the tissues Of the stom-
ach, but the amount of %strychnine re-
manning was sufficient to kill five men.
Widow Made the Pie.
AS the result of the report of State
Chemist knight, the authorities are
making a rigid examination of the cir
cumstances surrounding the case. The
widow Of the ranchman admits having
made the pie, but insists she did not
put any poison into the pie, and that it
must have been placed in the plum
sauce before the pie was made or in
the pie after it had been baked.
Died in an Hour.
Bruce took the pie as part of a
lunch when he went to his ranch from
his residence at Smoot. At the lunch
hour he started to eat the pastry, but
soon became i'll and died within less
than an hour a%fterward, in commissions
Before he died he stated that he had
been poisoned, but made no statement
as to who had done the poisoning. A
piece of the pie was given to a cat and
the animal died in ten minutes. An
autopsy was then held and the stom
ach and liver sent to the state chemist
for analysis.
Assured of Murder.
The authorities say they are certain
that. a premeditated murder has beer
committed and the details of the crime
if they ever come to light. may show s
remarkable case.

Once More William r. Hearst
And His Yellow NeWspa-
per Force Is Buried.
THE CAMPAIGN STRENUOUS.
PERSONAL ENDORSEMENT OF RE-
PUBLICAN CANDIDATE BY PRES
IDENT ROOSEVELT LARGELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR VICTORY.

Chicago, April 3.-Postmaster Fred
A. Busse. republican candidate for may
or. was elected yesterday over Edward
Dunno democrat and municipal owner
ship. by over 1900 plurality. The
traction ordinance known as the part
nership'' plan carried by $4,000, show
ing that the sentiment in favor of i'm
mediate municipal ownership is on the
wane.
The total vote was: Busse, 164. $50;
Dunno. 151, IFS; Brubaker, prohibition
list, $50; koop, socialist, 1859;
Busse's plurality, 1921.
The campaign, which began with the
single issue of traction settlement. de-
generated into bitter personal affair,
in which mudslinging and libel suits
were the principal features. The re-
suit is taken as marking the downfall
of William r. Hearst's political pull in
Illinois. The democratic campaign
for the last two weeks was in full
charge of the Hearst faction, nearly all
of the old line leaders being ousted
from active participation. Two years
ago Dunno was elected over John NJ
Harlan by a plurality of $4,000 His
defeat is attributed to a solid republ1
can organization behind Busse and 10
the fact that many democrats voted
against Dunno on account of his alli-
ance with Hearst
During the campaign many promi-
nent republican leaders of the state, in
Guiding Governor Deneen and Lieuten-
ant Governor Sherman, took the stump
for Busse and last Saturday President
Roosevelt entered the campaign by en-
dorsing Mr. Busse as reply to Hearst's
attack Hearsts villification and mud
singing. under the direction of his
New York managers, was carried on in
a fashion new to Chicago. Postmaster
Busse took no active part in the cam
paign, his injuries in the Altoona, Pa.
wreck, combining him to his home.

POLO REFEREE is LET OUT.
Ruling of Bush Does Not Please Club
Owners.

Marion. Ind. April 3.-George
Bush. of Logansport. is no longer a
referee in the Western Polo league. He
was released at a meeting of polo mag
mates in this city i'll which the four
cities of the league were represented.
In his place Thomas Kilkara is named
TO complete the season. Kilgara was
formerly a referee in the Central Roller
Polo League and lately officiated in
the Interstate league. The action of
Referee Bush in FORGETTING the game
between Kokomo and Marion in this
city Saturday night to Marion was not
regarded as a judicious bit of referee
ing by the polo magnates. Captain
Lyons. of the kokomo team, said that
his players intended to return to the
floor and were surprised when the
referee declared the game forfeited.
The Kokomo captain says the game
was forfeited without warming. Decis-
ion was reached to throw the forfeited
game out of the standing and play it
over in the local rink Monday evening.
