WIDOW CAUSES
FARMER TO FAINT
He Applies for License ana
Finds She Is Married to a
Younger Man.

Webster City, Ia, Feb. 15.--When
Frank Powell, a prominent and we'll
known farmer of Webster township,
asked for a marriage license at the Of
flee of County Clerk Lund yesterday
afternoon, he almost collapsed when
informed that a license to marry the
same girl had been issued to another
mar more than two weeks ago. But no
marriage had as yet been performed
and Powell insisted some mistake had
been made. He left the clerks office
and shortly returned to tell Clerk Lund
he had fixed the matter up with the
parties interested and that the former
license would be returned this morn
ing, in which event the clerk promised
to issue the coveted paper to him.
Al he left the court house, however,
he fell in a faint and DIR. McCauliff
worked over him some time to restore
him. This morning. instead Of the for
mer license being returned. q justices
return on 1t was made, showing that
the young man who secured 1t had
made good use of 1t and that his lady
love was now his wife. The receipt Of
this paper came near causing the clerk
to faint.
The lady in the case was Grace Mas
lund, a dashing young widow, "a years
of age. The young man whom she
married last night was William En-
burg. aged 20. The young man had Sc
cured his mothers consent and bought
the license Jan. II. Why he waited so
long after getting it before he used 1t
is known only to himself and bride.
The wedding occurred at the home OF
the gfoom's mother on Third street,
Justice G.. F. Tucker officiating. The
young woman in the case is from
Stratford, not far from PowelIs home,
The latter is SO years OF age.

given him a capsule at the direction Of
DR.. b. c. Hyde were two startling state
ments made under oath by John G. Pax
ton, Executor OF the Swope estate, Satur-
day.
These new and important features In
the Swope mystery were revealed by Mr..
Paxton only have he had been threatened
with commitment if he refused to answer
the questions concerning these phases Of
the case asked him by Frank p. Walsh,
DR.. Hyde's attorney. Mr.. Paxton was CIV
Ing his depo>ition In the Islander suit for
$4,000 brought against him by DR.. Hyde.
Although 1t was known that the death
of Chrisman Swope was being investi-
gated, the acknowledgment OF DIR. Paxton
that an examination Of the contents Of
the stomach OF Miss Swope had been
made came as a distinct surprise. She
is a pretty niece of the late Colonel
Thomas H.. Swope. On December / she
was stricken with typhoid fever and DR..
Hyde cared for her. Later she recov-
cred.
"Poison was found in marked quanti-
ties in the contents of Miss Swope's

Swope home on December Is, the day
when the nurses threatened to leave IL
DIR. Hyde was not dismissed and another
physician obtained to care for the Ill
members Of the family. was detailed by
Mr.. Paxton He told Of the vague sus-
picions of the nurses. which eventually
led up to the open break between them
and Mrs. Logan H. Swope. 1t appeared
that Miss Houlehan was the leader In the
insurrection. Just before leaving she
turned to Mrs. Swope, according to Mr..
Paxton, and said: people are being MUIR
dered In this house"
The departure of DR.. Hyde and his wife
from the home followed amid a fearful
scene. Accusations were made regarding
the physician. His wife In the house of
her mother stood firmly by him as he
was turned away from her parental doors.
In this city today a grand jury took
up what the state promises to be a
most exhaustive investigation of the
Swope mystery.

RESIGNATION OF
STORMS ADMITTED
Now in Hands of Board and
Stanton Is to Be Temper
airy President.

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 15.-The resig-
nation of President Storms Of the agrl-
cultural college at Ames is in the hands
Of the state board Of education. Dean
E. w Stanton is slated for the tempo
rary presidency. and Professor Charles
F Curtis Is scheduled for the permanent
appointment as president Of the insti-
tuition
This in the information which has
come to Des Moine through Ames col
lege men in Des Moines, who have kept
close watch on the situation at the in
stitution and claim to know which way
the wind is blowing.
Students at the college are alive to
the situation and 1t Is generally be-
lieved by those interviewed yesterday
that this is the program.
It Is the general belief, also, that
President Storms will make the. an
nouncement Of his resignation within a
short time.
There appears to be no doubt that
President Storms resignation will be
accepted by the state board Of educa-
ton.
Reports from Iowa State university
are meager relative to President Mac
Lean. who has also been reported as
about to resign. 1t Is understood, how
ever, tina there will undoubtedly be no
change OF officers in hat institution in
the near future.
Alumni Of the two schools in Des
Moine express no surprise at the
change which it is firmly believed by
many is about to take place. There
are some, however. who believe that
there will be some opposition to Pro-
fessor Curtiss for the permanent presi-
dency Of the institution.
Efforts to confirm reports similar RI
the above by interviews with President
Storms or members of the state board
Of education have been futile, but
nevertheless the college men as a rule
are prone to accept 1t as the true story
of the situation.

SACKVILLE CLAIMANT
DISMlSSES HIS LAWSUIT

London, Feb. 16.--The Sackville
peerage romance came to a prosaic end
today when the dismissal of the petit
ton Of Ernest Henry Sackville West,
who sought to establish a legal claim
to the title and estates of his father,
the late Lord Lionel Sackville-Wes
former British minister at Washington.
Sir John Bigham, president of the
probate court, condemned the petitioner
to pay the costs. which must have been
very heavy. The petition was opposed
by the present Lord Sackvillle, a
nephew of the late lord, on the ground
that his uncle had never married Jo-
sefa Dugan, the mother Of the petit.
toner.
