Tho following rcclpo for preparing
poison, given by 11. A. Wnrd of tho
First National bank, has been round
highly effectlvo:
Mix ono tnhtespoonful of gloss
starch In one-half teacup of cold
water and stir Into one-half pint of
boiling water to mako u thin, clear
paste. Mix one ounco of powdered
strychnine (alkaloid) with ono ounce
of baking sodn (bicarbonate) and
stir with tho starch to a smooth,
creamy mass, freo of lumps. Stir In
oiio-fourth pint of heavy corn syrup
and ouo tnhlcspoonful of glycerine,
nnd finally one scant tenspoonful of
saccharine. Four tnblcspoonfuls of
TWblo salt ndded to tho boiling- water
before making tho starch Incrcnses
thu erfoctlveiiess of tho poison dur

20 quarts of oats nnd mix thoroughly
to coat each kernel,
Kach quart of poisoned grain Is
sufficient for 40 to 60 baits. This
quantity, scattered (ono teaspoonful
to a place) along sijulrrel trails, or
on clean, bar dsurfacos near tho

Whllo In Faint, AImo Theory.
(From Wednesday's Dally.)
Whether Robert II. Krug, wealthy
hermit rancher living near Sisters,
was murdered for his money and his
homo fired to obliterate evidence ot
tho crime, or whother ho was burned
to death while In ono of tho fainting
spells to. which ha was known to be
subject, remained an open question
after tho coroner's jury, summoned
by C. P. Nlswongor, finished investi
gating tho case at Sisters yesterday
afternoon. A verdict ot death from
unknown causes was returned. An
other theory advanced was that
smoke from an open grata had suf
focated him as ho slept, tho house
later catching from a defective flue.
Dors Shared SIn'.ter'H Fate.
Tho flro, which started about 8
o'clock Monday night, reduced the
houso to ruins, and the charred trunk
was all that was left by which to'
identify the body ot tho rancher. Ills
two dogs had also met their death
In tho conflagration. When Sheriff
S. E. Roberts, accompanied by Dis
trict Attorney A. J. Mooro and Mr.
Niswongcr, arrived at tho scone of
tho tragedy yesterday so many people
had visited tho place that It wm im
possible to tell from tracks near the
houso whether or not anyone bad
como to the cabin tho night before.
Robbery Suggc'stcd.
A careful search of tho ruins was
mado, but only one bit of evidence,
and that negative,! was found In the
abwBce.jf,axayi-jt.tii.ifeSItr-'
ashes of tho lyncher's clothes. This
is taken by District Attorney Moore
as Indicating a posslblo robbery as
tho solution ot the mystory.
Testimony revealed (he fact that
Krug, an inveterate smoker, suffered
from sudden attacks ot unconscious
ness, and from this It was suggested
that whllo fainting ho might have
knocked over tho koroseuo lamp
which ho was known to keop on a
tabio near tho bed on which his body
was found. He bad apparently bceu
fully clothed when death came.
Tho coroner's Jury was composed
of -D. L. Miller, foreman, and W. E.
Graham, Jesso Graham, J. H. Burns,
A. J. Weston nnd W. N. Cobb.'
