POISON THEORY
in TANK CASE
N. D. Chemist Doubts #
Moorhead Water supply
Tempered With :,

That poison was introduced into sthe
reserve water tank OF the Moorhead
city water plant is considered highly
improbable by Robert 14ulburt, chem
list of the North Dakota Agricultural
scollegA, Z, who is conducting tests of
samples of the water taken after the
visit OF two men Monday afternoon.
Two men climbed TO the top OF the
S0O ,0002ga1oln reservoir tank 'at the
city water works late Monday after
noon. and they are now held az the
Icity Jail to await the results OF tests
water taken from the tank to deter
minew neither they contain poison.
That poison wassintroduced into the
water is coneidered very unlikely as
1t would require at least fifteen to
poison known to make the quantity
sufficient In the. 100000 gallons to
produce z fatal dose, says the North
one sample was sent by 2. q: Price,
ment. to the Minnesota board of
health, and the other sample was sent
to the North Dakota Agricultural COL
lege, Fargo, Prof. Robert Hulpurt,
the nsWtst test = scouts o Il thsi dsa @ that Il was.
possible for these men to carry any
Quantity of poison to the tank top. He
said the tests had not been completed
but probably would be finished Wed
nesday afternoon. Tests will be made
for the common poisons, and some of
the concentrated water will be given
to the white rats kept for testing
purposes at the a. z. - :
Another condition that tends to rem
der the poison theory improbable is
the fact that the ladder extending to
the platform has been cut of about
twenty-five feet above the ground.
The onl yway the men could reach the
ladder was by climbing, hand over
hand, up the brace rods until the low
er end was reached. It would not be
an easy matter to carry q load Of
strychnine, arsenic or potassium cy-
nide weighing twenty pounds or more
up the first stage of the climb.
AS a precaution the water was kept
shut off from the mains and later the
entire contents Of the tank were
drained into the river.
The men were not given a hearing
and will not have one until the. re-
suits of the tests are known. ITheS
are Ira 2Loust who claims to be a
steeplejack, land Thomas MathlBon,
who carried an /. w, w! card. Loust
went to the engineer Of the plant and
said hew as an inspector sent to in
spect the tank. When asked for his
authority, he failed to produce and
was denied permission to climb to the
top of the tank.

Washington, July 24.-Master lists
of the draft, the official and last word
assigning every man Of the 10000 900
TO his place in the national army
were going forward in the mails to-
day to the 1857 local boards. They

and rectify all errors. The lists have
been prepared with the greatest care
and safeguarded against errors.
Printed by the most expert and most
trusted men in the printing office,
they have been proof read by veteran
proof readers.
In order that each district board
may be assured Of getting a list in
the mails, two copies are being mail
ed in two mails. one in one mail. and
one in the other. The theory of this
is that IL one list goes astray the
other surely will reach its destina-
ton.
The summoning Of the men Of the
first increment before the local board
will quickly follow the receipt of the
official master list.
