Chrisman Swope Poisoned

Chicago, Feb. 19.-The lid that
for so long has been tightly fasten
ed on the laboratories of the Rush
Medical Institute has at last, in
the absence of the chiefs, loosene i.
And in that loosening has come
the news that the analysis of the
stomach and liver of Chrisman
Swope, made by DR.. Walter s.
Haines, shows strichnine in both
organs far in excess of the amount
usually given in medical doses.
This also is true of the examina-
tion of the ejecta of Margaret
Swope's stomach, brought here
for examination when DR.. Lu1vig
Hektoen brought the visceras of
Thomas H. Swope and Chrisman
SW ope here for investigation.
None OF the examinations has been
fihis hed-that is, an absolute guam
taeive analysis has nos yet been
made However, the Investigations
have progressed far enough Sc
that the scientists believe-accorj j
ing to an assistant at the labora-
tory-that neither the death o.
Chrisman Swope nor that of Thon
as H. Swope would have resulted
at the time they did had it noi
been for the strychnine.

A Lively Meeting

The candidates for city offices
addressed a mass meeting at the
court house Tuesday night. There
was large attendance and all
got their moneys worth. The
blue ribbon was carried off by
Hiram Black one of the candidates.
He paid his compliments to any
one who deserved dressing" in
very liberal manner. City Mar
shall Maddox was given a broad
side when he said, "NIr. Maddox
eats well, sleeps well, draws his
pay well, AMI can be found at the
race track betting" He also re-
marked that when boys caroused
around town till 2 and a,-rs.--as.
would soon find "where the bees
suck honey"
Referring to Mr.. Scrutchfield,
another candidate, he said Mr..
Scrutchfiel1 sod him a sound"
calf that proved to be blind, and
also gave Mr.. Uzzell a dig in re-
gard to some milk proposition.
Regarding c. L. Frazier, he said
he didn't have to go to Blackwater
for a reputation-that he got his
here in Marshall packing hides.
His talk would have made an in
teresting article ana we promise
to catch the next one in full if
he tries his hand again.
| C. S. Frazier also paid his COM
pliments to Mr.. Maddox who in
his remarks stated that i re-elect-
ed he would try to do his duty as
in the past. Mr.. Frazier said he
wouldn't try but would promise 20
do his duty or resign and pay the
costs of special election.
Lee Wilmington and Mr.. Uzzell,
two of the candidates didn't get an
opportunity to speak as there was
so much talking and shouting
they were "frozen OUT

CAMP ON WESTERN FOOTBALL
Minnesota Has Strongest Team. Ex-
pert Says,

| NEW HAVEN. Conn Walter
Camp, in discussing the football STU
alton in the West. from which he has
just returned, said:
1T seems to me that at the pres
ent time the veteran University of
Minnesota eleven is probably the
strongest in the Middle West. Look
ing over the teams | saw play, it was
clear that the officials have great
task in attempting to catch all the
| infringements of the new rules There
is much holding, and the rules protect
ing takers of a forward pass and play
ers in the natural zone are not en-
forced Illegal plays of ali kinds are
ALLOWED to pass, but the officials have
a difficult task to catch all the i'm
proper plays. l like the. idea of the
new rules as it is crystalizing.
! Il think that the disappearance of
the pushing pulling and interlocking
plays which have been barred have
made great difference in the number
of injuries. which have been decidedly
i lessened this fall. Everywhere |
spoke l urged players and officials to
| work under the spirit of the new rules
to give the public a rulable game, tell
| ing my hearers that the rules are the
best that the rules committee thought
they could give at this time.
| st is now evident that the rules will
go through the season without meet
ing of the rules committee in midsea-
| son to change them. 1t will be neces-
sary. however. for certain of the new
rules to be agreed upon or changed
| by rival elevens before the most i'm
portant games are reached. One of
the rules which seems unjust is that
which costs a touchdown in case of
player kicking from behind his own
goal when one of his side starts down
the field, and, inside the 20-yard zone,
| an opponent interferes with him. The
rule says that the ball goes to the
other side where the penalty occurred,
which is behind the goal. This. it
seems to me, is too severe penalty to
give in such a case
