Hist! There's real Inspector Dew
on the murder job. He is from To-
peka and commenced work today. 1t
is reported that four others will be
here inside of week. The first ar
rived is tall and today he wore light
clothes. Tomorrow he may wear
overalls and whiskers-you can't
tell about these detectives. But he
has not found out the mystery yet.
Is Looking For ChlorOfOrm
Lawrence, Aug. 25.-Although
Prof. Bushong has spent two days in
his laboratory analyizing the xiscera
of Bertha Benignus, the Abilene girl,
whose mysterious death is so puz-
zling of solution, not one whisper Of
his finding has leaked out from be-
hind the closed doors. Prof. Bush

mack and blistors on the dead girls
cheek were cut out and included in

Gally the latter, will be car7fullJ
sested for indications of chloroform.
Chloroform is a very difficult poi
son to distinguish unless present in
considerable quantities, and it fire.
quently does not reach the stomach.
DR.. Bushong will spend the remain
der of this week in testing for this
poison and if satisfactory results are
not obtained, he will begin syste-
matte search for all the other more
common poisons.
1t is believed the best evidence of
poison will be secured from those
burned portions of the face, which
the undertaken noticed shortly fol-
lowing her death. If these were
caused by drops of chloroform or
some corrosive poison, in indicatory
reaction can probably be obtained.

PARTIAL ANALYSIS ONLY
HAS COME FROM CHEMIST
May Take Three Weeks to Complete
Full Examination.

A sealed package containing the
first report of the analysis in the
Benignus case was received here this
morning. 1t was addressed to Cor
oner Entz in care of County Attor-
ney Rugh and will not be opened
until the arrival of DR.. Entz tonor-
row morning for the inquest.
Report is Partial.
Lawrence, Aug. 26.-The report
If the finding in the prai'L1inary ca
animation Of the viscera and SOM
ach of Bertha Benignus was mailed
to Coroner Entz at Abilene last ev-
ening by Frof. Bushong Of tao Uni
versity Of i1ansts, who IS conduct
ing the examination. Corone' Entz
spoke with Pref. Pushong yesterday
over the long distance telephone and
requested that report be made to
him of the findings, the report to be
used at the next meeting Of the COR
oner's jury which will report prob
ably next Saturday.
Prof. Bushong requested that a
quantity of the embalming fluid used
be sent him in order that he might
know what chemicals had been used
in this manner to tell what effect
they would have on any poison that
might have been in the viscera. Cor
oner Entz stated that the fluid viii
be sent at once to Lawrence.
In speaking Of the examination to-
day, Prof. BushOng said, "The ex-
animation may take the greater part
Of three weeks, as the. work for
some time must Of necessity be pre-
liminary. Small parts must be
tested from various poisons. 1t is
not as If we knew that the girl had
been poisoned by arsenic or some
other poison. Then we could make
our tests for. that one cause alone.
As It is we must be on the lookout
for various poisons."

HE USED MEN FOR TARGETS.
Crazy Man Then Shot Things Up III
General on Train.

Because a crazy man had no
guardian and could not sleep last
night on the Union Pacific east
bound train No. 10 two men were
shot and the windows and looking
glasses in the Pullman were also
used as targets. This shooting me-
lee took place west Of Ellis.
An inmate of an asylum in Den
yer was turned loose and he boarded
the limited at Denver for his home at
St. Louis. In the night he COM
blamed that he could not sleep and
after the majority of the berths had
been emade up in the morning ne be-
came crazed, jerked out a pictol and
opened fire on everyone and every
thing. He first spied Porter Young
whom he punctured with a bullet and
who has good chance Of recovery
DR.. Templin, of Kansas City, who
was sitting across the aisle, was the
next victim and he received a bullet
in his stomach He was taken off
at Ellsworth where he was placed
in a hospital. 1t is thought that
the shot may prove fatal. Then the
maniac started to shoot things up in
general when he was raped over
the head with a club by the flag
man. He was finally quoted and
was put off at Ellis.

Solomon, Aug. 27.-one of the
Mexicans who had been employed as
section hand on the Union Pacific
the past summer got on a big
drunk Thursday afternoon and
started to get" somebody,
over in the northwest part of
town he frightened number of peo-
Lie by drawing a knife and threaten
ing to kill them. The Mexican was
having things about his own way
when the marshal appeared upon the
scene, and ;he sight of the officer
only added to his thirst for blood.
He drew back his knife, and patted
himself on the breast, and with
string Of oaths started for the mar
shall. The marshal told the greaser
to drop that knife" and to stop"
but he kept on coming until stopped
by blow from the officers club. A
second blow laid him on the ground
unconscious with long cash In his
head. He was then loaded into a
hack and taken to the city jail.

Fogler and Root Rode Like
Fiends-Kramer Got
Pnncture.

r N a hair-raising finish, Joseph A.
Fogler won the twenty-five mile
open class A professional race at
the Newark Velodrome bike track last
night. Eddie Root, the clever little
Boston rider, was second. Fogler nosed
out Root by less than an incl at the
tape. Champion Frank L. Kramer was
to try for a worlds record In the event,
but receiving a puncture on the first
lap of the second mile, quit. The race
was fast and Fogler came within less
than two seconds of breaking the record.
The cold weather made things I'M
pleasant for the riders and had 1t been
a little warmer no doubt a record would
have been hung up. To date no new
marks have been set at the local track.
"Rube" Waddell on Deck.
"Rube" Waddell started the race. He
was the whole attraction last night
and the fans gave him a good hand.
At the start the riders rode q lap for
positions as there were thirty starters.
Just as the "Rube'' was about to fire
the gun, Eddie Root got a puncture
and rode up and got a hold of the rail
at the top Of the bank on the grand
stand turn. Jack Neville, Kramer's
faithful trainer, ran up to RUDE and
cried, "Rube, don't shoot Root!" RUDE
didn't shoot and there were several
more punctures before the race started
and the fans took pleasure In passing
the time by joking 'tRube" Waddell and
asking him If he was going to shoot
Root.
Before the first mile was completed
Menus Bedell punctured and quit.
Jumbo" Wells was the next rider to
meet this fate and he too could not
get his wheel repaired in time to re-
enter the race and ride for lap money.
On the urn out of the home stretch
of the first lap of the second mile Kra-
mer's rear tire exploded. Krebs, Ander-
son and a number of others had similar
trouble, but returned to the track in
less than six laps and rode for the lap
money.
Alfred Goullet came round the field
at five. fifteen and twenty miles and
got the prizes for leading at those dis
tances. Eddie Root tried to get into
the lead at ten miles, but Freddy Hill
nosed him out. Five miles were covered
In 10 minutes and 40 seconds, ten
