PORTLAND, Jan. 3.-Since last
Monday the police have been trying
to unravel the tangled skein Of a
mysterious poisoning case. Miss

enth street. They reached there just
in time to see a man removed from
the place, bundled into hack and
driven away. He was accompanied
by Miss Heidlebeck
All the police have been able to
learn from the woman is that~her
companion was poisoned by eating
the last piece in box of candy. She
said that he has recovered entirely
from the effects of the toxicant. How
poison got into the candy or other
information she will not divulge.
st wouldn't do anybody any good
to know the mans name. and I shall
