the Kstract.
As the result of drlnk,lng six bottles of
extract of lemon, Oeorge Elmer Pike, a
young man employed as a section hand by
the Northwestern railroad at Crescent, lies
dead at the home of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. William H. Pike, In Crescent City.
Pike came to Council Bluffs Monday and
spent the greater part of the day In the
saloons. When he went home he was con
siderably under the Influence of liquor.
There are no saloons In Crescent and Tues
day Pike felt that he needed a drink In
the worst way. Ha proposed going to
Council Bluffs, but to this his mother ob
jected. Pike finally consented to stay home
If his mother would go to the grocery
store and buy him three bottles of lomon
extract with which he might assuage his
thirst for an alcoholic drink. The mother
consented and secured the three bottles,
Which young Pike drank during tho after
noon. The three bottles, however, Instead
of quenching his thirst, appeared to excite
it, and about 6 o'clock in the evening Pike
went himself to the grocery store and
purchased three more bottles which he
drank before supper time. He ate a hearty
supper and afterwards left 'the house
stating he Intended visiting one of the
neighbors. About o'clock he returned
and complained of feeling sick. He went
to bed and an hour later his groans at
tracted the attention of the other members
of the family. He rapidly grew worse and
finally became unconscious. Dr. Waterman
of thla city was summoned, but by the
time he reached the Pike home the young
man was dead.
Dr. Treynor was not notified of the case
until late yesterday evening and on learnv
Ing the circumstances decided to hold an
investigation.
Young Pike was 23 years of age. There
is no reason to suspect that he drank the
extract with any suicidal Intention, but
simply to appease a craving -for strong
drink following his spree in this city Mon
day. Pike was, until two years ago, a resident
of Missouri Valley.

Strike at lorgham Mill.
The first grinding of the season at the
sorghum mill operated by the Smith Re
fining company In the northwest part of the
city was Interrupted yesterday morning by
a strike of the employes. The mill employs
about 100 men and they refused to work
unless granted an Increase of wages. They
also demanded two men to a bundle in
stead of one.
Superintendent Smith agreed to an in
crease qf 2H cents an hour, but refused to
accede to- the demand of two men to- a
bundle. The company haa heretofore paid
(1.60 a day and the advance of 2V cents
will make the pay 11.75.
A number of the men decided to accept
the terms offered by Superintendent Smith
and went' to work, but the others stood
out for the two men to a bundle. Tho
company succeeded in securing new men
to take the place of the strikers and when
they went to work it looked for a time as
If there might be trouble, but none oc
curred. Superintendent Smith requested
Chief Tlbblts to send an officer to the mill
to prevent any possible disturbance, but
the chief decided he could not spare an
officer and notified Mr. Smith that it
trouble ahould arise he would at onoe send
officers to quell It.
Harry A. Searle, manager of the Smith
Refining company, stated last evening that
there was no dispute between the company
and the men employed at the sorghum mill
over wages, but the latter demanded two
men to a bundle in loading the wagons.
This the company declined to accede to
as the bundles could be easily lifted by
one man. The men with few exceptions,
Mr. Searle stated, went back to work when
they realised the company was able to
secure all the help it needed.
CONTROVERSY OVER WEDDING
Bishop Takes a Stan Which is Co,
tro verted by Chancellor
Barroa.
SIOUX CITT, Ia., Sept 23.-(8peclal Tel
egram.) The opposition of Bishop Gar
rigan of the Sioux City diocese, apropos
of a society wedding, has caused a con
troversy in church circles resulting in con
siderable feeling. The trouble grew out
of the Murphy-Potter wedding, prominent
in society circles. The bishop took the po
sition that mixed marriages must occur
only at the house of the priest and neither
at the home of the parties nor at the
church. Chancellor Barron had been on
gaged to perform the ceremony at the
home, but the bishop forbade him to per
form the ceremony. Chancellor Barron
has come out In a published letter da
fending his position and the question of
mixed marriages is being discussod
never before.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINtS, Sept. 23. tupeclai.) The
most startling testimony was given today
In the trial of William 8. lUc hards at ln-
dlanola, accused of participation in the
robbery of the Sulllvans at Hamilton last
December. Frank Ualrd, the notorious
crook, who waa shot by Sullivan and cap
tured and afterward sent to the penlten
tlary for eighteen years for hl part in the
crime, went on the stand and gave a full
confeaslon of the crime. He bad refused
to testify in his own case, but afterward
made an oral confession to the sheriff im
plicating Richards. Later he made a writ
ten confession In the penitentiary. Today
he told the court the full story. He stated
that, the plot was first conceived in a sa
loon at Creston and that later Balrd and
Charles Redrup met In the kitchen in the
home of Richards In Creston and' the three
laid the plana for the robbery of the Sulll
vans. Richards was running a smail ri-s
taurant in Hamilton. He was to arrange
so that Mrs. Sullivan would have 1 the
money In her possession, and he induced
her to take the money out of a bank and
keep It at her house. Then Richards tele
graphed to his pals in Creston to come to
Hamilton. They did so and were met at
the depot by Richards. They entered the
Sullivan house and Balrd and Redrup tor
tured Mrs. Sullivan to make her produce
the money, which she did. Richards stood
guard outside. Ualrd says that Redrup Is
a crook who formerly lived In Plattsmouth,
Neb., and he says that it was Redrup who
held a lamp to the feet of Mrs. Sullivan
until she agreed to give up the II. W)0.
Later, when Balrd was caught and Rich
ards came to him, it was agreed that Rich
ards should send 11,000 of the stolen money
to Baird's wife in Creston If Ualrd would
refuse to tell the story. Richards never
sent the money, but Balrd claims that he
excused hlmeelf by saying that he had to
use it all to settle an estate in Des Moines,
where he was caught short. The testl
mony by Balrd today, with what Is known
to be available, Including positive proof
that Richards was In Hamilton and that
he met the two crooks at the depot, is re
garded as sufficient to make tha case look
dark for Richards.

The conteat between B- F. Robinson ai.fl

In the Emmet-Dickinson district is not yet

very little chance of any settlement of the
controversy in convention.
The report of the Woman's Relief corps of
Iowa Just made and published in a circular
shows that the corpa contributed (847.80 In
