a man named Winner were conteder
ates McNutt insured his life for the
benefit of his wife. The rem then de
coyed a young man named SAVERS te
Wachita took him to their paint shop
drugged him, and set fire to the place
The body was burned to a cinder; and
as at the ssme time, according to pre-
yious agreement, McNutt disappeared,
the charred remains were claimed to
be his by Winner and by McNutt's
widow. The supicions of the insurance
companions were excited, however,
principally by the conduct of Winner,
aid a detective traced McNntt to near
Kansas City. He borrowed a gun and
went out to the place where the crimi
nal was consealed. He caught sight
OF him chopping wood in the yard, and,
covered by the barn and by the corn
shed. advanced to within a short dis
tance unperceived. Raising his gun,
he ordered him to drop his axe and
throw up his hands. McNutt surren
dered quietly, and has confessed the
crime, striving, however, to place the
blame of it on Winner.

exposure of such real estate to sale be

proposed to amend by, requiring also
that it shall not be sold at any subse
quent sale unless it brings two thirds
of its assessed value; but should no sale
be effected at its third exposure it shall
be taken charge of by the court and
rented until such time as the Judgment

This bill will not only secure pro
