WAR is BREWING POISON in MEAT
Family Reunion Nearly Ends
in Death to Six.
After Theater Lunch Keeps
Doctor Busy All Night.

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 30.-From a
merry family party, the home of j.
H. Stevens, was converted into hos
pital in short order.
There has been a family reunion at
the Stevens home this week, over
Christmas. Some of the relatives and
guests had gone home, but those who
remained came down town, attended
the theater. and on returning home
had a chilli supper.
Tn chilli was made at home, and it
is supposed that the meat used was
infected. There were eight people par
ticipating in the little family gathering,
but only tx of them partook of the
chill. All six were soon sick. DR.. w.
F. Schoor, who was hastily summon
ed, worked nearly all night with the
suffering members of the family. He
found every evidence of ptomaine pois-
oning.
Those who were stricken were Mrs.
Culver of Nickerson, her little son, the
two sons and daughters of Mrs John
ston of Hoisington, and Mr.. Stevens,
six in all.
The Culver boy was in the most ser
ious condition, and for a time DR..
Schoor feared he would die.
Mrs. Stevens prepared the chilli her
self, with the assistance of her guests.
It is supposed that the meat, which
she had bought down town and had
ground for the purpose, was contami-
mated with ptomaines.

TWO BOYS CAPTURE BURGLAR.
Half Mile Chase Begins When They
Visit Pantry.

Kansas City, Dec. 3O.-Perhaps the
fact that his father L. D. Breyfogle,
is a deputy sheriff of Johnson county,
Kan, had something to do with George
Breyfogle, IA years old, overcoming
boyish fears long enough to take
leading part in capturing a burglar
found ransacking the BreyfogIe home
at Overland park.
Anyway, a man who refuses to give
his name and says his address is Kan
sas City, is locked in the Johnson
county Jail at Olathe as a result of
the courage of young Breyfogle and
his companion, Harvey Hesner, also
IA years old.
The members of the Breyfogle fam
lily, except George, were visiting rela-
tives in Olathe yesterday. George was
spending the day with Harvey. In the
afternoon the two boys decided the
Breyfogle pantry might offer delicacies
for lunch. When they entered the
house a noise that indicated someone
moving upstairs was heard.
Then a window was raised and sud
denly a man in overalls flashed by.
The boys seized shotguns and follow
ed. After half a mile chase the boys
halted their prisoner and he was
marched to the home of Georges I'M
Gle, Homer Breyfogle, a constable at
Overland park.
The Breyfogle home was a picture Of
disorder but the timely arrival of the
from carrying away any valuables.
When the robber heard the boys in
the house he lowered himself from a
second story window to within eight
feet of the ground and jumped and
ran.
