STRYCHNINE FOUND In Et?iJ by Mrs. Peters-Discover cred in Time Lust Thursday morning, while Mrs. \\\ II.

She found some little while specks on the inside. She kept the egg in this con dition, and showed it lo her hus band. Mr. Peters is a pharmacist and a member ol' tia* Marlboro Drug Company. Ile tested tho white powder and found it to bo strychnine. There was enough ol' il in tin4 ogg lo kill several people. Mrs. Peters bought the egg, with others, from the grocery store of H. D.

The .Messrs Rogers have no idea where this particular egg came from, however, as they had been buying (>"'gs from Various and sundry persons who brought them to tl"' -'tori'. lt is not believed that the strychnine was put in the egg for thc purpose of harming ahybo ly, or that the person who brought it to town knew thal it. contained strychnine. The most plausible theory is that somebody put tho strychnine in thc egg to kill a suck-egg dog, and then forgot about, or else some other member of thc family gathered il up with others andi brought it to town. Another theory is that some body had been missing eggs amii put ?mi lin? strychnine for what ever was taking them; and that lb egg was stolen and brought lo town and sold. The Messrs Rogers are ol' course entirely innocent in the matter. egg had fallen into tho hands of sonic careless servant it would probably have resulted in the death ol' one or more members of ibo family, Valued Same as Gold.
