burned the Tashjean home and killed
number of his relatives. DR.. fash
jean, however, has communicated
much with relatives and believes now
that he was born in the month of July,
fifty-tive years ago.
He attended the public schools in
ErZroom and also was employed as
an assistant in a drug store In this
capacity, his first thoughts turned
toward the conclusion to become
physician.
When but II years old, he came
alone to the United States, landing in
New York City, where he made his
home with Armenian friends. For
number of years he worked in vari.
Gus capacities in Philadelphia and
New York City. He spent two years
at study in the Addran college at
Thorpe Springs, Tex, and three years
in the Wheaton college, in Illinois.

Frank SedIacek, jr, Fails to Come
Home from School. But Parents
Think He is Staying All Night at
Neiehbors-Body Found Next Day.

Spencer, Neb. May 11.-Speclal to
The News: Frank Sedlacek, the 49,
year-old son of Frank Sedlacek, sr., a
prosperous farmer living two miles
southwest of Spencer, was found dead
Tuesday afternoon about o'clock in
ravine about a mile from his home.
The boy, in company with his sisters,
had been attending school in Spencer,
and on Monday afternoon was going
home with schoolmates, when just
outside of the town he remembered
that his father had told him to get
some staples. He returned to town
and purchased the staples at G. j. COT
fey's hardware store and started home.
That was the last seen of him until
his lifeless body was found the follow
ing afternoon.
When the boy didn't return home
his parents thought probably he was
staying all night with some of the
neighbor boys and didn't make any
search for him until the next morning,
when it was learned he was not at
school and had not been seen since
the evening before. A searching party
was formed by the citizens and a num-
Der of the ponds were dragged and
the pastures and hollows were search
ed. The boys body was found by R.
l.. Macdonald, lying in thicket about
quarter of mile off the main trav-
eled road.
Body Found; Strychnine in Pocket.
The alarm was at once given and
DR.. Shelton was called and reported
the boy was dead from what he
thought to be poisoning. The body
was brought to town and DR.. Beatty,
coroner, was called from Butte. An
inquest was held and the jury found
soning. Two bottles of strychnine
We're found in his clothes, one Of them
having been opened.
1t was learned later that young Sed-
lacek had been instructed by his par
ents to get the strychnine to poison
gophers with. 1t is also claimed that
he had gotten the deadly poison be-
fore. He must have become curious
to know what it tasted like and opened
the bottle and touched his tongue to
it. The staples were found under a
culvert on the main road half a mile
from the boys body which indicates
that he wandered around after taking
the poison.
This is the second boys body found
in this vicinity in the past two weeks,
the other being young Tinglehoff, who
shot himself.

the automatic transfer of the power
to their own political party soon will
follow.
In having publicly announced that
the revolutionists would consent to
the naming of the minister of foreign
relations, Senior De la Barra, for the
all-important post of provisional pres
ident, DR.. Gomez for instance contends
that the rebels have practically con
sented to a continuation in power OF
the present government without the
tigurehead, as they call Gen. Diaz, at
its head. Rebel leaders declare Gen.
Diaz has not been in actual control for
some time and that the iron hand of
the federal government is that of Min.
lister Limantour. Advices from Mex.
leo City, they say, tell of the complete
mastery of the situation which Minis
ter Limantour and the cabinet have
assumed.
Diaz Not in Game Now.
Ministers Limantour and De la
Barra have most conspicuously handl-
ed the government end OF the peace
negotiations and the rebels suspect on
good authority that many steps already
have been taken without the partici-
patton of Gen. Diaz.
On the other hand, the rebel lead
ers know Gen. Diaz is the only man
who can decide the question of reslg-
nation and they intend to bring more
military pressure to bear to effect that
result. Much interest and curiosity
for instance was displayed by Gen
Madero and his chiefs today in how
Mexico City took the rebel victory
and what the people in lie United
States thought about it.
Gen. Madero believes he has a
strong following in Mexico City and on
the occasion of rebel successes does
not conceal the expectation that his
supporters will make a demonstration

the grounds are In constant use in good

its membership OF 400, has free use OF the

STEINFELDT MAY GO
TO ST. PAUL AFTER ALL
BY Associated Press.

COLUMBUS, O., April 15-Harry
Steinfeldt, former third baseman of the
cubs, arrived in Columbus yesterday
afternoon and held lengthy confer
ence with Manager Mike Kelly of the
st. Paul club, to which team he was
sold by the cubs.
Steinfeldt did not agree to play with
the saints this summer, claiming he
came to town on business for his father
in-law. 1t looks very much like the
former third sacker of the cubs was
weakening in his declaration to quit
baseball, and no doubt Harry will be
wearing st, Paul uniform in short
time.
