Omaha, Neb, Nov. 25.-Ten fire
men working on an early morning
fire at the Cudahy Packing com

Omaha had a narrow escape when
they were caught by a falling wall
Five of them received serious in

The financial loss exceeds 100000,
After the flames were presumably
under control a four story fire wall
fell, burying the squad of firemen.
Jacob Horn, a fire captain, sustain

pitfalls and the rest were able to go
to their homes A steel beam,
which fell near the men, formed a
protective arch against the falling
wall through which the men were

Celebrate Anniversary.

Ridgley Encampment No. 9 of the
Odd Fellows lodge celebrated their
thirtieth anniversary Friday even
ing in the Webster City Odd Fellows
lodge rooms in the Syndicate block.
An excellent program of music, read
ings and songs occupied the first
part of the evening, while mock
trial at which they tried l. w. Hyatt
for conduct unbecoming an Odd
Fellow" made the rest of the even
ing laugh from start to finish. The
said Mr.. Hyatt was charged to have
conducted himself in this manner on
the day after election, which would
seem plausible enough to those who
look at the political situation from
the same view point as Mr.. Hyatt.
Following the mock trial light re-
freshments were served and the
many members present departed
feeling that the thirtieth year had
closed successfully.

A PRISONER
COMMITS SUI
eide AT abel
Despondent Because of Delay in
Trial, Heathcote Takes
HIS SON ALSO IN JAIL.
. Held for Alleged Assault Upon Ne
gro Miner at
Scandal.
HIS SON ALSO IN JAIL

Adel Nov. 25.-Angered because
of the continuance of his case until
the January term of court, Robert
Heathcote, a prisoner in the county
Jail, committed suicide early yester-
day morning by swallowing a guam
tity of carbolic acid. The jailer was
attracted by the mans groans, and
called a physician, but the man died
in spite of all efforts to save his
life.
There is mystery connected with
the suicide, which is puzzling the
authorities. They do not under
stand where Heathcote secured the
deadly poison. 1t is supposed that
some of his friends struggled the
drug to him. An investigation will
be made.
Heathcote and his son, Joe, were
charged with murderous assault
upon John Lee, a negro, at Sean
dia, in Dallas county, Sept. 8.
They were arrested shortly after
the crime, and after a preliminary
arraignment were held to the dis
trict court, their case to come up
this month. In default of bail, both
were sent to- Jail. On Nov. 9 both
father and son were indicted for as
sault with intent to commit murder,
but their cases could not be reached
at this term of court and were con-
tinued over until January.
Despondent at the prospect Of re-
manning in Jail until some time in
January before getting trial, the
elder Heathcote decided to end his
troubles. The body will be shipped
to the mining camp at Scandal fol
burial.

POISONING IS
STILL A MYSTERY
May not Have Been in the Milk
Many People Suffering From
Same Sickness.

1t is still impossible to tell what
thas caused so much sickness the past
few days in Webster City. At first
it was supposed to have been pto-
maine poisoning from the use OF
milk, but quite a few people, it has
been discovered, have been sick with
the symptoms of poisoning who had
not used milk at all and few cases
have been reported from the coun-
try.
Riley Bros. of the milk depot have
tried to ascertain if any of the milk
handled by them caused sickness and
while some of their customers have
been i'll they have found that 9TH
ers who used the same milk were un-
affected and still others who had
not used milk at all were attacked
with the prevailing epidemic. 1t was
thought that possibly the trouble
might be in the milk from cows kept
in pasture through which Brew
ers creek runs, as it is known that
the hospital sewer empties into this
creek. A sample of this milk was
taken to Ames today to have it an
alyzed to determine whether or not
it is pure.
1t is possible that the poisoning
may be the result of something be-
sides milk. Some hold to the the
DRY that it is an epidemic and may
be contagious. E

made of the miscreants occasionally
the lawless element among some of
the boys might be kept in check.
