Determining Haw Death
steaJly Was Canse.
In accordance with tha wishes of tha
family of the lata Major Davla, CB North
Twenty-fourth street, who waa found dead
In a gully lat Friday noon. Coroner Bralley
ha ordered Dr. W. R. Lavender to make
an autopay on the body with a view of
determining whether the deceased came to
his death by atrychnlne poisoning, admin
istered by hi own hand, aa was determined
by tha coroner' Jury at the Inquest last
Saturday evening.
Dr. Lavender haa gone to tha Forest
Lawn cemetery,, where the body waa placed
In the receiving vault last Sunday, and
begun the autnpiy. He saya It will be at
least Wednesday before the result of the
poet mortem examination can be an
nounced, aa chemical teata that will re
quire some time have to be made.
Regarding a newspaper report of Mon
day evening, in which the Inquest waa re
ferred to a "hasty" Coroner Bralley de
nies that there waa anything haaty about
the Inquest and maintains that the facts
of the esse warranted the holding of the
Inquest when it waa held. He said in this
connection:
"When we reached the body tha wlt
neisea were all there, and as they were
working men and lived in South Omaha,
It waa deemed expedient to hold tha in
quest that evening. The Indications were
strychnin poisoning and there were no
marks of violence whatever on the body.
Furthermore, I oonaulted early In the aft
ernoon with Douglas Davla, son of Major
Davis, and Frank Pogue, his nephew, and
spoke of having the Inquest that evening
and suggesting the post-mortem examina
tion. They agreed to the Inquest and did
not Appear to think tha poet-mortem necea
sary." Tha reopening of the Inquest will depend
on 'tha finding of tha autopsy, now In
progress.

yesterday In the rooms of tha organisa

tlon of Dubuque several years. He Is at
present connected 'with a large wholesale
establishment In Chicago. Mr. McVan waa
recently chosen by the railroads of the
west to prepare their argument in the
Texas cattle rata eaaa which la now being
heard before the Interstate Commerce com
mission, and this la probably the strongest
argument presented to the committee In
his favor. The selection waa made In the
cattle case by unanimous vote of the ex
ecutive committee of tha railroads repre
senting several of the largest lines In tha
west.
The new secretary was the unanimous
choice of the committee selected to present
a name to the executive committee of the
club and hla election waa by almost unani
mous vote. It Is said the election was
not a compromise, but was the result of
Mr. McVan being the most popular candi
date of the club. There was, however,
division of sentiment, many members fa
voring other candidates, but In tha end
there seemed to be a general agreement
In favor of the man selected.

A committee composed of E. A. Benson,
Euclid Martin and W. S. Wright escorted
Mr. Utt into the committee room to re
ceive the gift. W. S. Wright made the pre
sentation speech, In which he remarked
that the gift was presented In remembrance
of the good work done by Mr. Utt while
secretary of the organization and also as a
token of tha esteem and good will which the
members bear toward the ex-secretary He
hoped that Mr. Utt would aucceed In his

The young man S to 20 years receives very special atten
tion by us. Our suits for him are neither big sizes in boys' cloth-;

expect in men's clothing. ' V
Today we are opening up a new shipment
of young meiVs suits, and txre marking them
all the way from 5 to 15 dollars. They are
nearer to both style and construction to cus

to have started his work, that of removing
ashes from the pit at the roundhouse, as
usual Monday evening, but when the fore
man went around to the pit about 9 o'clock
and found that tha ashs bad not boon
