and composed a letter, which they ad-

GERS Not Properly
Equipped.

A death from ptomaine poisoning
occurred in Cairo yesterday morning,
the victim being VIM Fight a white
man of 1901 Commercial avenue.
Coroner McManus was notified and
held an inquest yesterday at the un'
dertakng parlors of Burke & Blaine
to which the remains had been
brought. The testimony developed
ehat the man had been quite we'll till
s O'Clock Saturday evening. just after
partaking of supper; that he had
eaten some sausage for supper,
bought from Syrian who conducts
little grocery in the vicinity. and
was taken violently sick soon after.
going into commissions. Or. Young
was summoned and later DR., Davis,
but the man died in spite of their eff
forts, some hours later,
Or. McManus CANNED the sausage
of which the man had eaten and found
that ptomane poison had developed
strongly; and from description of
the symptoms the physician had no
doubt that death resulted from this
cause.
The coroner's jury composed Of
James G.. Blaine. A. S. Fraser, Lee
Watson, JOS Abel, G, w BATE, P. w.
Lehning. found according to the cir
cumstance thus developed.
DR.. McManus called at the Syrian's
place of business and found there a
quantity of sausage, such as had
caused the death OF Fight, and con-
fiscated il. The Syrian said he had
bought it from the Bucher Packing
Co. The DR.. interviewed the L. s. in
spector stationed at this establish
ment, who convinced him that the
sausage could not have been other
than wholesome when sold 10 the
Syrian. He said every care possible
was exercised, not only in selecting
the stock for slaughter but in the
preparation of the meat and sausage
for market, to insure its wholesome
ness; but the company could not be
responsible for the meat after it left
its hands: and there was too much
carelessness in handling meat by
some of the retailers in this hot
weather.
Speaking of the case to The Bulle'
tin last evening DR.. McManus said he
felt sure the death of Fight was the
result of imperfect facilities for tbs
care of meat in the Syrian's plce, and
urged the need of an inspector for
Cairo. during the summer months, ir
order that consumers of meat NIGH
be protected. He said since the regu
lar retailer of meat had practically
gone out of business in Cairo. and tht
sale of meats had been taken ovel
largely by the grocers, the danger
was much increased, because many o
| the grocers had not the necessary
| facilities for the proper handling O
fresh meats during hot weather. HI
believes the situation is serious
enough to call for prompt action by
the city authorities in order that tht
people may be protected.
Fight was about As years old, am

LUMBER co. TO
 WORK CONCESSION IN VANCOUVER SEA

What promises to be one of the greatest lumber deals known in the country is having it's inception in this city in the Northwestern Timber Go. which has purchased Guilford Is- land in Vancouver Sound, Canada, and will start it's development at once Their project is backed by Connecticut capital most of which is from this city. Today the directors of the company are meeting in their offices in the Security Building, taking the final steps before the island is open ed The officers of the company are: William B. Burnhan, president; How ard A. Coffin, secretary and Whitman s. Mead, of Greenwich, treasurer. The officer with the following are the di- rectors: Sidney E. Hawley, Carl Eos ter and Joseph E. Brush of Green who was the defeated candidate for nomination at the recent State Repub- lican Convention is present at the meeting and will probably be elected as a director.
 Valuable concessions have been ob- tained from the Canadian government for the development of the island, which is covered with many millions of feet of yellow cedar, which is a remarkably durable timber. Many trees fallen years ago, today are in almost perfect condition, requiring but a little effort to make them as good as if freshly cut. The trees attain a height from 50 to 120 feet and in diameter three to ten feet, on an av- craze of sen feet. Yellow cedar is used for the most part in pattern work and in the building of valuable yachts.

Special from United Press.) }


 Winter. Wis, Oct. 8-In a terrific gun battle at 9:45 this morning, John Dietz, the outlaw of Cameron Dam'' and his son Leslie. are believed to have been wounded. Both dropped to their knees under a hail of bullets from the deputies, but succeeded in getting back into their cabin. Dietz precipitated the battle. He walked about 100 yards from the house alone. carrying two heavy revolvers.
 John Britton, a deputy sheriff, call- ed on him to throw up his hands and surrender.
 Dietz wheeled and ran for the cab in and the army of deputies opened fire on him. About 50 feet from the cabin, Dietz dropped to his knee, prob ably wounded. However, he faced the deputies and began shooting with a revolver in each hand. Leslie Dietz then ran out to his fathers aid, emp tying his own gun at the besiegers and refilhng his fathers revolvers with cartridges. After several min utes of fighting Leslie dragged his father toward the cabin door. The boy apparently dropped on the thres- hold and is believed to be wounded.

STATE CLOSES EVIDENCE
 AGAINST BiSSONNETTE

All the testimony for the State in it's trial of Napoleon Bissonnette for the murder of his brother-in-1aw, Rome P. Demery, has now been presented to the jury. The defense yesterday started to call their witnesses, most of whom testified to the good charac- ter and reputation of the accused. The defence have two important witnesses yet to call, Bissonnette,s himself, and William M. Thomas, ballist1c engineer with the U. M c. Co. MT. Thomas it is expected will show that the shoot ing of Demery was accomplished at close range.
 Those witnesses called to give tes- timony of Bissonnette's reputation were Thomas E. Herne, 1855 Beach street; Ferdinand Leise of 174 Bruce street; August G. Baker of 1524 Sea view avenue; Christopher Newbaur of $40 Hamilton street; Eli w. Vanderhoff of Stratford; Albert Wilnot of 438 Pembroke street; Max F'redericks of 698 East Main street, and Francis La Palnae of 176 Bruce street.
 The latter was an important witness as he stated that he was in converse ton with Demery, concerning Bisson- nette, the former threatening his brother-in-Iaw. La Palme said that Demery said to him: eff he don't stop I'll kil1-no, I don't mean that, I'll give him a ticking" Another witness, James Carroll, of Stratford avenue, stated that one evening in Demery's s store he heard the proprietor speak about Bissonnette in an uncomplimen- tary way and say that he would kill
