Then one of the tramps, a large, middle-aged man woartng a red shirt and a white hat, but no coat, sald gruffly: “Now give us your money!” Wussler told the men he had no money and, seeing that they meant trouble, turned to go into the house, probably to get a weapon, as he was unarmed at the time. As he turned the larger of the two men fired two shots froma 32-caliber revolver. One of the balls passed through Wussler’s kidneys, pene trating the spinal column and inflict- {ng a wound which in all probability will prove fatal. The tramps fied when Wussler fell.

Honolulu, March 4.—Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford, widow of Senator Leland Stanford and one of the founders of Stanford university, died here about midnight last night at the Mona hotel, the result of taking poisoned bicarbonate of soda. She was taken ill at 11 o’clock and her groans were heard by A. Hounish, a San Francisco merchant, occupying an adjoining room. He rushea in and found her lying on the floor in great distress. Her secretary Miss Be:ner, and her maid, May Hunt, were summoned. They revived Mra Stanford. She complained of great pains in her etomach and said she had taken bicarbonate of soda. She seemed to suspect that the soda had been tampered with, for she said sey- eral times: “I have been poisoned.” Her last words: This is a horrible death to die.” Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Stanford took a drive on the Pall road with her secretary and maid. On her re- turn she ate a hearty luncheon and did not take the regular hotel dinner. She spent the evening on the veranda apparantly in good spirits, and went to bed at ten o’clock, alter taking ihe bicarbonate of soda. She had made no complaint of illness. Doo- tors F, H. Humphris and H. M. Murray were called in, Dr, Hum phris said all the remedies to relieve her were applied, but 1t was not pos- sible to save her life. Dr. Humphris said today: ‘When called in I found Mrs. Stanford in convulsions and ap- plied the quickest remedies but it was not possible to save her life. Mrs. Sanford said to me: ‘Doctor I have been poisoned.’” Mrs. Stanford’s condition seemed to indicate strychnine poisoning. Between convulsions her mind was unueually active,andshesald: “This is the second time they have tried It. They tried it last January, and I came here to avoid them.” It was said at one time that her jewels were valued at $2,000,000. She kept them in a black burglar. proof steel safe with a time lock. She had a diamond necklace valued at $500,000, and she kept sixty or seventy diamond rings strung on a piece of black string. VAST ESTATE FOR UNIVERSITY. When Senator Stanford died he be queathed $2,500,000 to the univer. sity. At the same time he left debts to the amcunt of $1,600,000, mostly for money borrowed for the purpose of construction of the university buildings, Mrs. Stanford, however, immediately undertook the payment of the bequest to the university. This proved a difficult task, as the govern- ment sued the Stanford estate for 315,000,000, and during the litiga- tion the property was tied up so that Mrs. Stanford was able to draw but $10,000 a month. All this, except enough for ber living expenses, Mrs. Stanford turned over to the univer- sity, but the sum was not sufficient for its maintenance, andit morethan once was in danger of closing its doors. Mrs. Stanford declared that she would sell her jewels and the 600 horses on her stock farm to keep the university going. After litigation lasting a year the United States Su- preme Court decided {n favor of the estate and the bequest of $2,500,000 was paid to the institution. Fresh Water In Salt Lake. Denver, Colo., March 6.—Are the waters of the Great Salt Lake be- coming freshened through the con- struction of the great Ogden-Lucin of the Southern Pacific? Engineers of the rail road are much puzzled over this matter. It is de- clared that the water north of the cutoff, which in times beyond the memory of man have been bitterest brine, are gradually becoming sweet- ened. Experts are unable to account for the phenomenon. ‘ The freak is the subject of much discussion around Union Pacific headquarters in Denver. Sofarnone of the local officials have been able to explain it. One theory is that the Bear Spring river which flows into the great salt sea near Ogden, is forcing the briny water, beyound the cutoff. This stream is about 300 feet wide and is of the sweetest in Utah. In pours an immense volume of water into the her. Guaranteed by Frank! lake daily.

Houses of Straw in Near Future Minneapolis, Mlnn., March 4.— Straw houses in Minneapolis may be an innovation in the near future. It is certain that within a few months ‘boards made of straw will be fn com- mon use {n this city and {n thenorth- weat for varlous purposes of manufac- ture at a good price instead-of burn- ing it as at present. The American Strawboard Manu- facturing company has been incor porated in the city with a paid-in capital of $200,000. The headquar- ters of the firm will be establishe? here, and within the next few months and a factory will be built in one of the outlying towns as close to Min- neapolis as possible and at the same time be near to the best source of straw supply.
