could find no owner I took her home and
kept her She is a tiger cat. gray with
black stripes She I. very loving and likes
to be petted. She will come upstairs and
lie on the beds, so as to be petted- When
she wants TO go out she jumps on the table
by the door and then Jumps down again.
When she catches mouse she does not al
ways play with it all the time, but when
she gets tired lays II down, almost allow
ing il to get away and then runs after it
She seldom catches birds, though she tries
to. and when she has one does not keep it
long Hoping you have liked my story. I
remain yours sincerely

Strichnine Found Through
out Col. Swope's viscera.
Believed Also TO Have Been
Found in Nephew's Liver.
Prosecutions Threatened-.Dr. Hyde
Brings SANDER Suits.

Chicago, Jan 31.-Strichnine was
found throughout the viscera of the
late Col. Thomas H. Swope, the Kan
sas City millionaire, according to n
report made Monday by Drs. Walter s.
Haines, Ludwig j. Hektoen and Victor
{. Vaughan to John G. Paxton, eXecu-
tor OF the Swope estate here. The same
klnd OF poison is also believed to have
been found in the liver of Chrisman
Swope, nephew of Col. Swope,. but it
was announced that the examination
of his organs had not been completed
Although Virgil Conkling, the pros
ecutinS attorney of Kansas City, re-
fused to make any statement, Mr.. Pax
ton said that criminal prosecution
would fellow their return home After
IL conference at the University Club
with Dr.. Hektoen, DIR. Haines and Dr.
Vaughan, Paxton gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
"On account of the Widespread in
terest in the investigation that has
been made into the death of Thomas
SWope | feel it proper for me to make
public the fact that DR.. HektCen, DIR.
Haines and Dr. Vaughan as the re-
sui VI tilt1T iHNcStlSdllOH eNteIlunlS
over period of several weeks give
to me the opinion that Mr.. Swope died
from the effects of poison"
Paxton SAID that all were satisfied
that drug containing strichnine in
large quantities was given Col. SWope
Mr.. Paxton and Thomas Swope would
make no statement concerning his sus-
picions or future plans. When pressed
to name the person or persons under
suspicion, Mr.. Baxton absolutely re-
fused to name anyone.
When told that DR.. B. c. Hyde of
Kansas City had brought suit against
him To recover 100000 for alleged
SANDER. MI Paxton refused to discuss
the matter.
