this school has been able to accomplish
with its students scattered as they are

will be profited by writing the school for

The Fossil Journal reports one of the
most fiendish attempts to commit mur
der by poisoning, the intended victim
being Mark Enyart, who lives four miles
from Fossil. -
Enyart bad been away from horr.e for
a couple of weeks putting up bay, and
when he returned found his wife's
mother, Mrs. Nuckolls stopping witn her
on a visit. She aeked Mark's wife to go
home with her, to one of the Jim John
son place that day saying she had to
go borne that day anyway. The wife
said : "Well, if Budd (Enyart) does not
want me to stay at home for anything."
Hinyart replied t "Of course you can go
if you want to." Mrs. Nuckolls asked
him if he would not like something to
eat before he left for Shepard's and bo
(the old lady Nuckolls put a lunch on the
ttable for him . to eat. Envart returned
about 1 o'clock that afternoon, and
found1 the folks still gone, and the lunch
on the table. There - was some pie on
the table, which was a favorite . plate of
his, and the v first thing he did was to
pick up a piece of that, and take a bite
off the small end. He thought it did
not taste right, but swallowed that piece
too quick to taste of it, and so he bit off
another piece to see what It tasted like.
This confirmed his impression that it
tasted bitter. He looked at it then, and
saw that it looked as if white sugar bad
been spread all over the top of it, and
there were the prints of a case knife
where it had been used to press the
white sugar down in the pie. About
that time the first bite he had taken be
gan to draw the lower part of his
stomach up like a knot. This, with the
extreme bitter taste of the third bite,
caused it to flash through his mind that
he had been poisoned, and it was strych
nine instead of white sugar on the p:e.
He immediately stepped to see if his
strychnine bottle, which he kept hang
ing out of sight behind the looking glass,
was thete yet, and it was gone. It had
been hanging there since the let of Jan
uary, and been used then to poison some
coyotes with, but the bottle was two
thirds full when he used it last.
Enyart immediately grabbed the
butter plate, and proceeded to swallow
the ball of butter as fast as he could do
so. He then thought of his tobacco.
He chewed and swallowed the half of a
plug he had with him, that caused him
to vomit. He threw up the contents of
hia stomach, and thereby saved his
life.
Enyart suspicioned that Mrs. Nuckolla
had put up the dose for him, for he had
remembered that she was particular to
let him know twice that she left the
lunch for him on the table. And she
had been on very poor terms with him
ever since he ran off with the daughter
to marry her. So when they got back
to the house he charged her with fixing
up the dose for him. She replied: "I
did not do it, I did not do it.'? Mrs.
Enyart then spoke up and said ; "Why
Budd, ma asked me three or four days
ago where the strychnine bottle was
and I looked up there and it was gone."
Other little incidents still further
pointed Enyart's suspicions toward Mrs.
Nuckolls.
Thus far no arrests have been made,
but the grand jury will soon be in ses
sion, and the case will surely be investi
gated. Kittens Suckled by a Dog.
Mr. F. Weidner of Moeier is a great
hand tor pets. About two months ago a
dog and a cat gave birth to litters of
their respective progeny at about the
eame time. He drowned all tbe pups
but one, and before long another mem
ber ot the family bad given that away
also. About the same lime the mother
cat was misBed. The first time they
noticed its absence was by observing the
dog nursing the cat family. The kittens
were very contented, and while lazily
looking with half closed eyes at the am
azed observers, kept their paws moving
alternately, unsheathing their sharp lit
tle claws each time. This did not seem
to disturb the foster mother, who gave
the kittens the same attention she form
erly did her own offspring.
