Operation Ends
with Fatal Effect
Upon Little Child
Nine Year Old Lucy Baird Dead To-
day, Following Removal Of Tonsils
as Precaution.

Lucy Wood Baird. aged years, and
the only daughter OF Attorney w. $. Baird
and Mrs. Baird OF Council Bluffs. died
yesterday morning at their home, Sis East
Broadway, following simple operation
FOR tonsilitis.
The little girl was in vigorous health and
there was even some doubt about the ne
cessity for tho operation both by the
physicians and the parents, but it was
decided upon as safeguard against fu-
ture trouble The operation was performed
the previous morning by Drs. Dean and
TreynOr. and occupied less than twenty
minutes Chloroform was administered in
Just sufficient volume to produce partial
anesthesia, and the little patient rallied
from 1t quickly
Half an hour afterward however. she
was attacked by severe vomiting spells,
which continued at intervals of about half
an hour until death ensued A hemorrhage
was caused by seepage from the small sur
gical wound, and prompt measures were
I taken at once to stop the bleeding. but II
was renewed at each CONFUSION Of the
stomach until the child's strength was
wasted and she fell into a comatose con-
dition. From this she could not be aroused
and twenty-four hours after the operation
she was dead
DR.. Dean is one of the foremost experts
in eye, ear and throat diseases, and Dr
/ Treynor's reputation is of the best char
acter. Both say the case is without par
allel, and that they had never heard OF
anything like it, They have performed
/ the operation hundreds Of times with but
| slight Inconvenience to the parties.
! The little girl was a bright and love
able child, dilgent pupil in the fourth
grade of the Pirece Street school Foul
other children, two older and two younger
all boys, survive her. The bereavement Of
the family is most distressing. The funera
will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2:3
o'clock at the residence. Rev. j. NJ. VIII
liams, pastor of the Broadway Methods
church, where she was a bright Sunday
school pupil will conduct the services.

SlOcumb's Death
is Still a Mystery
New Facts Develop Which Further
Complicate the Incidents
of His Death.

After the failure Of every effort that has
been made to establish the identity of {.
II. Slocum, the man found dead in a house
at 2529 Davenport street Friday night,
clue has been put in the hands of Coroner
Crosby that may throw some light upon
the mystery of who the dead man is and
what he was doing in Omaha.
Slocum pawned a watch and some other
valuables, being paid SIS on the outfit at
the Brodkey pawnshop at Fourteenth and
Douglas streets on the afternoon of the
day before he met his death. In case he
should not come back, he said, he left
the following address; 119 Fifth avenue
New York.
The information was put in the coroner s
hands only this morning He has tele-
graphed to the New York address, also to
the police in that city. and is in hopes Of
receiving an answer this afternoon that
will embody some definite information.
So far no evidence has been found that
is strong enough to establish either case
of suicide or murder. The coroner's jury
after sitting all the evidence Monday after
noon In it's verdict confessed its inability
to determine whether 1.-THE death was
caused by his own act or the act Of others,
and recommended further police investiga-
ton.
The police have been able to cast no light
upon the strange case and are as much at
sea as is Coroner Crosby.
The inquest brought out the fact that
all the gas stove burners and gas jets on
the first floor were found wide open.
When the police entered the house they
found every door and window locked ex-
cept one, that being the one by which a
murderer might escape. Neighbors testi-
fled that two men instead of one came to
the house in a hack Friday morning.
Charles Chappell. the hackman who drove
| Mr. Slocum to the house, states positively
that he took only Mr.. SlOcum to the house,
| arriving there shortly before noon

SUFFRAGE BILL IS DEFEATED
south Dakota House Puts II Asleep by
vote of sIxty-Nine to
Twenty-SIx,

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. Especial Tele-
gram.) -Suffrage for women with property
qualifications had no show In the house
this afternoon, going down by a vote OF
50 against with only % in favor. The suf-
frage question has little show at this ses-
sion, following the result of the election
last year.
The bill to allow the state to sell tract
Of land at Lake Kampeska to the Officers
club called out a fight with some warm
personalities between Representatives Ros-
kie and Vercoe, and the bill met consid-
cradle opposition, getting through by a
bare constitutional majority.
The house members. or at least some of
them are beginning to speculate where they
are getting in the matter of legisla-
ton. For the first time in years there is
talk of a sitting committee.
The senate mixed up over the net weight
law and after a lot of discussion il was
put over for action tomorrow, as it appears
that it cannot 80 through without material
amendment.
The commission plan of government APP
pears to be popular, the latest in that line
being two bills in the senate for a com
missioner of jails and poor farms and one
