REWARD, Neb., March 28-- Special. )
With raJreno to case of Dr. C. W.
WrlKht. who In being held at Denver, Colo.,
on tha t-harae of murdering; Ir. Philip
Bchuch, Jr., of that city, County Attorney
Edwin Vail aald: "I received a letter on
Ti.enday evenlnK from the district attorney
of Denver advlnlns me that nr. C. "W.
Wright vii bo In held for the murder of
fr. Phlll Schtich. Jr.. - and detailing' In
substance the following facta: Drs. Bchuch
and Wright came to the farm home of Wil
liam Neujahr In this county for tfi pur
pone of removing htm to Ienver for med
ical treatment. They arrived there on
he evening of February 27. remained
over February 2S and left on March 1 for
Denver with their patient. Some eleven
days afterward, to-wlt, on March 12. Dr.
Bchuch was found dead In hla apart
ments at a hotel in Denver and an autopsy
revealed the fact that several grains of
srsenlc M present In his liver. A whisky
bottle found at hla apartments had the fol
lowing notation In substance written upon
If 'February 28, Oresham, Neb. This
whisky has been fixed by the doctor who
Is with me, for after taking a drink of
It I became deathly aick and vomited
my head off.'' After arriving at Denver
and some clays previous to this occurrence
Bchuch and Wright had an altercation
at the home of the brother of William
Neujahr, where William Neujahr waa re
ceiving treatment, In which Leo Neujahr
Interfered or waa Implicated. Leo Neu
jahr waa not accused by the Denver au
thorities with any complicity in the sup
posed poisoning of Bchuch, but Wright
wiii held by them under the charge of
murder.
No Evidence Aaalnst Wrlaht.
"Wednesday afternoon Sheriff Olllan and
myself made an automobile trip throuch
the neighborhood and questioned the mem
bers of Mr. Neujahr's family and such
others as Were in a position to be advised
on this question. These parties each stated
to us In substance the same story, al
though examined separately and without
knowledge of what the others had said.
They stated that the two doctors were
friendly during ; their stay. That Dr.
bchuch's physical condition was apparently
as good when he left as when he came.
That on the 2sth, the day the whisky
bottle would Indicate that the poison
was administered, that Dr. Schuch was in
especially good spirits, laughed, Jeked, and
showed absolutely no sign or symptom of
his vomiting. That he did not complain of
being sick, other than that at one
time during his stay he stated that
he had a cold. We also found the
community singularly free from any
suspicion that Schuch had met with
foul play, and In fact we met no one
who seemed to think that there was any
thing the matter with Bchuch when he left
(resliam. The witnesses we examined,
re, we think, disinterested and worthy of
full credence.
"I therefore advlbed the district attorney
at Denver that lh my -Judgment the facts
here did not bear out his hypothesis that
poison was administered to Schuch In
Seward county, and that I would not care
to file a complaint against Wright upon
piesent Information."
Sheriff Olllan Issued a statement along
similar tines.
Warm Municipal
Campaign at Alliance
Issue it Continuance of Present Policy
of Eunning the City Wide
Open.
ALUANCK, Neb.. March 26. (Special.)
The munclpat election which will take
place early In April has hitherto been a
matter of but passing and indifferent In
terest, partly due to the fact that the
present Incumbent In the mayor's chair
was supposed not to stand for re-election
In the forthcoming campaign, as It was
understood when he was last elected that
It waa on the distinct understanding that
he waa ao elected to complete certain mat
ters which were at that time In status quo,
and e waa therefore elected for another
year to, aa was then understood, finish
these matters which started during his first
adrnlnlHtratlon.
As Mayor Harris has now again pre
sented himself as a candidate, considerable
interest has been manifested In the cam
paign during the last few days, and It now
appears that this will be the moat bitterly
contested campaign In the history of the
city.
On the question of city government here
the voters seem to be divided Into three
classes, vlx:-v
Those In favor of the enforcement of the
law. a cletin city administration and the
li'Uiotf of naloona.
Those who favor the licensing of saloons
under lawful restrictions.
Those who favor the "wide open" pulley,
sm h as the city has been having recently'
and which Is fast bringing Alliance into
disrepute and making It a paradise fur
both white and colored lewdness, gamblers
etc.
Those voters of the first clusa have now
brought forward C. C. Smith as a candi
date for mayor, lie has served the city In
that capacity before aud stands for cleanli
ness and law enforcement in every respect.
Those of the second class, although not
aa radical aa the voters who favor an en
tirely closed town, will, however, it is
thought, throw their weight in favor of
this policy rather than atand for a further
administration such as the city has had
recently.
Thla brings the contest to perhaps an
evan break with the standpat adherents of
the present administration, and conse
quently a hot content is au'lciputed.

WORKING
ON BIG
BILLS
Lea-lalatnre Will Get Them All Oat ef
Wt, Then Make aa Effort te Get
Together l.lttle Change for
Last Twi Weeks.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
Dea Moines. March M -(Special.)- Un
less there Is a decided change In the sena
torial situation within another week It Is
probable that there will be general agree
ment to make no efforts at election until
the last week of the session. There does
not seem to be any probability of a caucus
or conference to get the men together. The
general opinion la that the matter will drift
along until the last few days when, after
most of the big bills have been disposed of,
there will be a supreme effort at an elec
tion, and In the riot that Is sure to ensue
something will be done to end the deadlock.
There has been no gain or loss for either
of the republican candidates the last two
weeks. A few of those who some time ago
went over to Kenyon have drifted away
from him and It Is certain that a number
of the others are ready to do so without
warning. But on both sides the men who
are most concerned are very firm In their
position.
Judge Kenyon was here twice the last
week and held Important conferences with
leaders of the party. He called In men
who are usually Influential and who know
what can be done and went over the situa
tion frankly with them. He found that
most of the veteran leaders of the party
were simply doing all they could, within
reason and fairly, to bring about an elec
tion. He found that Senator Cummins had
done what he could to secure an election
and had been Influential In prevailing upon
many of the leading members of the legis
lature to give the Fort Dodge man their
loyal support. But It was also found that
no matter what efforts were put forth no
republican can now get a majority of all
the votea.
Judge Deemer has continued In his atti
tude of acquiescence In the situation with
out undertaking personally to force him
self upon the legislature. It is well under
stood that his following would remain solid
even if he should withdraw and that noth
ing he can do will effect a result. There
has been some Ill-natured criticism of
Judge Deemer on the theory that be Is now
standing In the way of success, but the
members all know that this Is not the case
and that neither of the candidates need be
driven out of the game by any unfairness.
The complaint made a week ago that tbe
senatorial contest is causing delay in the
legislative work has had little force. As
a matter of fact the delay has been very
slight The strained situation has pre
vented the formation of cliques and com
bines In legislative work.
Senator Cummins and Senator Young will
return to Washington next week to attend
the special session of congress.
Distribution of Psurtrtdares.
The state game warden, George A. Lin.
coin, Is still engaged in making distribu
tion of partridges to Iowa people who
are willing to care for them and protect
tbem while they are breeding. He has
distributed several- thousand pairs, paid
for out of the gun license fund of the
state, and It is expected that as a result
there will be a great increase in the
amount of game in the state In a few
years. All efforts at securing a part of
this fund for some other purpose have
been unavailing and It will soon be a
serious question how they are going to keep
the fund from growing larger.
Home for Blind Women.
A home for sightless women is pro
vided for In a bill introduced in the house
by Representative By bee of Marlon county.
The bill carries an appropriation of 15,700
for the establishment of such an Institu
tion. Years ago the building now occu
pied by the Knoxvllle inebriate asylum was
purchased by citizens of Knoxvllle to be
devoted to a home for the blind. The
state later changed the character of the
institution. The Knoxvllle people now ask
that the tS.TOO spent on the building be
appropriated for a new home for blind
women.
