He TRIED TO
KILL THEM
ROBERT NICHOLAS SAYS HE
TRIED FOR TWO MONTHS TO
KILL HIS FOSTER PARENTS
BY PLACIN graf POISON IN
THEIR FOOD.

San Jose Cal, April 7.-Threats
to throw him into a dark cell infest-
ed with rats, unless he told the truth
failed today to shake the confession
of Robert Nichols, that he had ad-
minlstered rat poison to his foster
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Olympia Ba-
zus, of Los Gatos,so that they might
die and the knowledge of his 5000
theft be concealed.
Although Robert has been sub
jected to the sweating process usu-
ally practiced on Juveniles, proba-
tion officers on no occasion have been
able to make him contradict him
self. He steadfastly maintains that
between January II and March 22
he systematically injected trough on
rats" in his foster parents food, in
the hope that they might die,
The case was scheduled to be
called before Juvenile Judge Gosbey
at o'clock this afternoon, and ply
sicians have been summoned to OBJ
serve the boy for traces of insanity
DR.. T. H. Stice, who made a cursory
examination of the lad, declared to-
day that Robert was an unusually
bright boy.
For several weeks Mrs. Bazus hov-
cred near death, and one physician
after another was baffled by her case.
The poison did not affect her hus-
band seriously. Questions as to
whether she used arsenic or other
drugs brought emphatic denials from
Mrs. Bazus
A solution came a week or so later
when Bazus received a bill for 25
cents for rat poison from a drug
store. An inquiry showed that Rob-
ert had purchased trough on rats"
and, after a sharp questioning, ad-
mitted having administered the poi
son to his foster parents.

WEATHER VERY
DRY IN WEST
Conditions as Told in a Letter
From Miss Elsie Cooper to
Mr.. and Mrs. T. ]. Cooper of
This City.

karlnen, S. D., June 13, 1911.
Dear Uncle and Aunt have beer
very slow in answering your letter.
but we have been so busy, planting
and other things. 1t looks as though
it is going to be another very dry
year. We had no moisture all winter
and no spring rains until May 18th.
which was only a shower. The next
week another shower came, which
started the crops. Then the second
of June we had the worst hail storm
that was ever experienced by most of
these people. Hail was actually larg-
er than most eggs,-it hailed for over
a half-hour. There was no wind. ex-
cept the first few minutes (perhaDs
fifteen) and no lightning and thun-
der except while the storm was brew
ing. The next night l went for the
ches thick. 1t broke IL window light
for us,-brOke through tin and shin
gle roofs for some of the neighbors.
Horses ran for miles Everything in
one OF our rooms was soaked,-hail
and glass were piled everywhere. This
of course, pounded crops into the
ground, but things are coming up a.
gain. Now we need rain again, so
bad. Before the first showers fell,
people were utterly discouraged for
they could not break for crops. Those
that had breaking done, didn't know
whether or not to seed. A few fam
lilies left their claims and now so
many intended to make five year
proofs are planning on committing as
soon as possible. Everybody is look
ing for oWrk. Our boys are both work
ing at the same ranch. Wages are
low We have had more rain than
those 30 or 40 miles south and west
of us, but north, in North Dakota, |
there seems to be plenty in most placf
es. We go to Karinen three times a |
week for mail and see SO many people |
everybody talks hard times, rain,
crops, etc. One lady from Montana |
about 40 miles southwest, said it was |
something terrible down there
people there are feeding hay to mflch |
COWS. We have fine picking for hors
es and cows. After the hail for a
bout three days they would wander,
for the grass was knocked into the
ground, but now we have no trouble
with them
Our spr:Lg IS still fine, four fami-
lies haul water from there every day.
They did not finish the well, for as
soon as they could pluw, they left
it,-29 feet deep and now tie boys
are sore. I don't sGpp, Sc thtrc will

have had occasion to drive over it.
The road has always been flat and
sandy. Our neighbors of the town
Of Grand Rapids had fixed the same
roadway to the city limits and from
there in to the fair ground property
has always been the subject Of a
great deal of comment. We are glad
that it is now being made right.
