THE HILLMAN INSURANCE CASES.
Beginning Of the Third Trial-The Circum-
stances Leading to the Contest.

TOPEKA. Kan, Feb. 29-The celebrated
Hillman insurance cases were begun yesterday
in the United States Circuit Court There are
thres Of these, in which Sallie e. Hillman sues
three companies to recover insurance upon her
husbands life, aggregating $3.50 The whole
controversy turns upon the question whether
John E. Hillulan died. is claimed in the
plaintiffs petition. The case has been tried
twice before, but the jury disagreed each time.
Several years ago Hillman. who then resided in
Lawrence, Kan, with his wife. took out these
policies on his life. running for the period of
three months, and paid the premium. Di-
rectly thereafter, in company with
a man named John Brown, he
went 20 Wichita with the intention of getting
together outfit and starting out through the
south western part of the State with the pur-
pose of hunting a location for sheep ranch:
The party started from Wichita with the usual
outfit. After being on the road some days they
parted compauy one night at lonely place near
Brown alarmed the neighbors and stated that
he had accidentally shot and killed his travel
ing companion, HIllman, and upon their arrival
at the camp, the neighbor found q man lying
dead with bullet hole through his head.
Brown informed them it was HillTnau. The
body was taken to Medicine Lodge and an
inquest held at which Brown. as
a witness, detailed the circumstances
connected with the mans death. and it
was buried at that place. Brown wrote to Mrs.
Hillman informing her of her husbands death,
and asking for directions. Shortly after, Mrs.
Hillman made application to the companies for
the payment of the amount of insurance The
companies refused TO Dav, aud claimed that the
man killed near Medicine Lodge was not Hillman.
They sent agents down there and had the body
exhumed and brought to Lawrence for identifi-
cation. 1t was found that there was a diversity
of opinion to its being Hilman. The insur-
ance companies claimed that the dead man was
a young man named Walters who was at Wich-
-. Ia.
Hillman has, so far as known, ever been seen
alive since.

A BARBAROUS CRIME.
A Negro Cabin Fired and the Fleeing Inmates
Shot by the Light of Their Blazing Home.

HoUsToS. Tex, Feb 29.-News has reached
here OF what is perhaps the most horrible crime
which has ever been perpetrated in this section
of the State The bloody tragedy was enacted
at settlement known as Spanish Camp, about
sixty miles west of this city. Spanish Camp IS
composed of Mexicans negroes and desperate
whites, and is remote from railroads and tele-
graph lines, and on this &C count only msager
reports of the facts are obtanable. On Sunday
morning, about o'clock negro cabin was set
on fire and the occupants brutally shot down as
they ran, half awake from the burning house.
Five were killed outright, one severely wounded
and two others consumed in the burning dwell
ing. In the same neigh borhood, the dead body
of a negro named William Battle was found
hanging to a tree, and it is thought that he was
hanged on the same night the other negroes
were shot or burned. The affair is said to be
the outcome of q suit over the title of the land
where the negroes lived. and which they had
purchased. The suit was decided in favor of
the negroes at the last term of the District Court
in Wharton. So far as heard from arrests
have been made, although the sheriff and posse
are on the ground

The Thumb Bell

Since the advent of the sewing machine the
thimble is not as important an instrument as
1t once was, but it is still with US and always
will be. and it is interesting to know where it
came from. It was brought to England 2S3
years ago by Dutchman named John Loft
ing. It was first called "thumb bell" be-
cause It was worn on the thumb as it is now
in great many trades, and even do some
of the good old grandma's for household sew
ing. It was first shaped like bell, hence it's
name. After while it ceased to be worn on
the thumb and it ceased to be shaped like
bell, and SO it ceased to be called thumb
belP and was called thinble. We use thim-
bles in all our nand-sewed work, but in any
case We guarantee the garment and beg you
to note that this ''goes" during our continu-
ing 20 per cent. reduction sale, just the same
as if we were asking regular rates.
