JURY INVESTIGATES
MYSTERIOUS POISONING
VIII Ascertain il Possible RESPONSE
bility of Death of Clutch jake
Only Fact Learned so Far is That
Wood AlcohoI Was Direct Cause.

Coroner Ralph Folsom empaneled a
jury this morning and has been in
vestigating the death of Mike Hoefr-
ner, the wood alcohol victim After
spending a greater part Of the day the
jury adjourned until 1879 ;omorrow
afternoon at which time the investi-
CATION will be continued.
SO far the only fact ascertained is
that the man met his death as the
result of drinking wood alcohol,
Whether it was given to him by some
one else or whether it was a drink
manufactured by himself has not yet
been ascertained and will probably al
ways remain a mystery.
According to the testimony of Paul
Hemmelgarn, in whose place Of busi-
ness the unfortunate man was strick-
en-, .Hoeffner had been without money
for some time and had been supplied
with a room and meals by friends
There could have been no object there
fore in giving him the dope intention

are j. B. Kennedy, James Neil, j.. f..

FARMER FED STRAY DOG:
THEN DOG FED HIMSELF

New YoTk.-Believing there was
good luck in harboring stray dogs that
appealed for shelter, John Eggle-
strom of Clinton, n. j., took in one
that came to his door on last Satur-
day. The dog seemed grateful. "We'll
call him Nero" said Egglestrom
Nero remained a favorite until short
ly before dinner time yesterday.
The farmer, his daughter and SON.
in-law and his sons, John and Ed
ward. were sitting in the front room
when they heard a scream from Mrs.
Egglestrom in the kitchen. All start
ed for the door, fearing she had been
scalded. They met her in the hall.
Pointing toward the kitchen, she
cried. "My roast"
There on the kitchen floor was Ne
ro eating the beef meant for the fam
ily dinner. Egglestrom tried to drive
the animal out. Nero fastened his
teeth in the farmers fancy Sunday
waistcoat. and tore out the front. The
son-in-law stopped to pick up the re-
mains of the roast. Nero resented the
action and Egglestroms daughter had
to repair her husbands trousers be-
fore he could go home.
Screams brought the hired man. He
counts himself lucky in escaping witt
the loss of one of his top boots. Nero
! finished the roast in peace, and ther
sauntered toward Fairfield, probably
| to find new home and more beef.
