fsmous Wlnnesook club, which was
founded 10 years ago and of which Judge
" Parker waa the first president. The club
, lias a trout preserve, but Its members
' fcare always been devoted fishermen.
The members have, however, apparent
ly, vainly fished on this occasion to draw
out a speech from Judge Parker, for It
Is understood that ha disapproves of the
notion of a banquet at which toasts would
be In order, and only consented to make
the trip tomorrow when the plan of

erty Dee'a life was Insured for several
thousand dollars. Ha carried one

According to Mr. Ward, soon after
the funeral, rumors .began to circulate
to the effect that Dee did not die s
natural death.
("These rumors grew." said Mr. Wsrd
"until the whole community In whlc)
Mr. Dee lived became badly worked ui
over the matter. In order to satisfy th
neighbor and to find whether or nr
foul play haa been committed. Sheriff
Van Vector and myself decided to ex
hume the body and have a - chemical
analysis made of the stomach.
"Even If we find that the man met
hta death by poisoning we have n
tangible evidence on which to faste
the guilt on any person and no arrest
msy be made. If w find that Dee met
with foul play wa will attempt, how
ever, to alft the myatery to the bot
tom." .
The body was taken early yesterda
