An Attempt to Defraud Life Insurance
Companies Just Discovered
in Duluth.
The National Board of Worlds
Fair Commissioners Adjourns
Sine Die.
Gold Reserve and Customs Receipts
Increasing and an Improve
ment All Around.

UULUTH, Sept. l3.-An order has
been received by the police here to ar
rest Frederick Krayenbuhl of this city,
who is charged with being the princi.
pal in most daring attempt to de.
fraud several life insurance companies
On July II the story became current
on the streets of Duluth that John
Clark and w. B. Gregg had been cap
sized while out sailing and that Gregg
had been drowned. Clark told story
of remarkable endurance, how, after
the boat had capsized, he clung to the
Overturned Craft
from 10 one morning until o'clock the
next, when the boat drifted OH the
north shore about eighteen miles from
Duluth. He righted the boat, he said,
and rowed back to this city, and going
to Krayenbuhls house, tainted over the
doorway. There were some very sus-
picious circumstances connected with
the case. Some weeks later it de-
veloped that Gregg's life was insured
shortly before the time of his disap.
pearance for $4,000 and that the poll
cies were made out in favor of Krayen.
buhl. About the middle of August q
demand was made for the insurance
money, and the company began an in.
vestigation. Several special agents
were sent here, and very soon it was
decided that there had been fraud. It
was found that during the whole time
Clark said he was drifting on the north
shore the wind was blowing in an
Entirely Opposite Direction.
1t was found. too, from the testimony
of vessel men, that no one could live in
Lake Superior for the length of time
Clark said he had been drifting. The
matter resolved itself into question
whether Gregg was party to the
fraud or whether he had been MUIR
dered. From a vessel man it was
finally learned that Gregs had been
seen at La Pointe, a small place on the
Wisconsin shore, some days subsequent
to the drowning episode, and from
there he was traced east The same
dispatch which ordered the arrest of
Krayenbuhl stated that Gregg and
Clark had been arrested together in
Philadelphia. Clark is brother Of
one OF Duluth's prominent merchants
and all the parties implicated are peo-
pie OF good standing.

THE MILE Laos.
Chairman Campbell Has Talk With
the Chiefs

Chairman Campbell Has a Talk With
the Chiefs.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 13 The ques-
tion of the removal of the Mile Lacs
Chippewa Indians from that reserva-
tion was discussed between Chairman
w. NJ. Campbell and Mr.. Flint of the
Northwestern Indian commission, and
Chiefs Moos-o-naws-nay, Ain-dus-o-
che.sig and Be.tud-anse of the Mile
Lacers, John Merrill being present as
interpreter. The meeting was not pre-
arranged, but those chiefs were in Min
neapolis on other matters, and it was
arranged for them to meet the chair
man of the commission and Mr.. Flint
The issue presented is, whether the
last remnant of those Indians will now
withdraw from the reserve, which is in
fact pretty nearly in the hands of white
settlers, who, in the vacillating course
Of the government in its various decis-
ions and revocations, have managed to
get control of the lands. with more or
less cover of authorization. There has
been alre; y fully five years spent in
efforts to remove the Indians, anumber
having already yielded to the inevitable
and gone to White Earth, but the chiefs
have hitherto resisted all efforts to get
them and the remnant away, asserting
their undoubted rights there, when the
case is strictly construed in the light of
all the treaties and federal promises.
Chairman Oar S. Hall devoted his en-
tire administration to the case and
Chairman Camrbell has taken it up
where Hall left off.
With Robert Mckenzie as inter-
prefer, Chairman Campbell informed
the chiefs what it was proposed to do.
in substance as follows: First, they did
not need any lawyer, referring to the
fact that Attorney and Mayor Richard
son of Little Falls, is understood to
have their cases in hand to prosecute in
the department at Washington. "If,
said Mr. Campbell, "you do that and
win your cases, it will only be at the
end of years of litigation. The commits
sion offers you everything now that
you would win then, except the actual
retention of your places on the reserva-
oAOus LII IA0 paw VI GAdG "o O4eI
you farm, each at White Earth. a
yoke of oxen and farming utensils,
good house with shingled roof and
doors and windows. and food and
clothing enough to last until you have
raised your first crop; besides this a
school for your children, church of
whatever denomination you prefer and
a doctor to attend you when sick"
He had them told that they were old
men and, as chiefs, were responsible to
do the best they could for their people,
and they should advise them to accept
the proffer. He informed them that
he was we'll aware Of the differences
that existed, and explained to them
how they had arisen. He said also
that he thought the government should
not have withheld their annuities, of
which they SO bitterly complain. In
conclusion Mr.. Campbell asked the
chiefs to go home and consider the
matter, and when they wanted to see
him further let him know.

TOLEDO, O., Sept. IL. - Engineer
James Knapp, who was shot by the
Lake Shore train robbers, was taken to
his residence on Collingwood avenue in
this city, upon the arrival of the train,
and physicians were called. It was
found that the bullet penetrated his
right side near the shoulder. He had a
very close call and the train robber
evidently shot to kill. he physicians
say that Knapp is not in danger and will
be all right in few days.
Only About Twelve Men.
The conductor and most Of the crew
live in Toledo, and left the train here.
Asa Mcintyre, brakeman, was seen
by United Press correspondent. He
said: 1.-The gang numbered about -
men. am sure there were not more
than that number, although the con.
slant fusilade they kept up with their
Winchesters would have led one to
think there were great many more.
They had turned the switch. showing
the red danger signal, and Engineer
Knapp, of course, came to stop on
seeing the red light exposed. The
switch was turned just before the
train was due there, so that
any of the employees of the road
at that station who might have
been about would not have noticed
anything strange. Two men boarded
the engine and ordered Engineer Knapp
and fireman James Butler to hold up
their hands. The engineer disobeyed
the order and reached for the whistle
rope to warn the rest of the train but
the movement was the signal for the
desperate to shoot. The rest of the
gang stationed themselves along the
train and kept constant firing to keep
the crew and passengers frightened,
that they might not rush out and over
power them. AS soon as head showed
itself from the windows shot whizzed
by as warning to keep inside. Three
men jumped into the express car, two
held up the messenger NJ w. Weiss,
while the other blew the safe
open with dynamite. I started back
with my lantern to the telegraph sta
tion two miles back, but I was driven
back into the train by shots. finally

FOUR FOUND DEAD.
A Family Wiped Out---Wcre
They Murdered
fBy telegraph to the Dispatch

GREENynLE, S. c., April 11.-News
reaches here to-day that the bodies Of
4. W. Hensley, his wife, grown daugh-
ter. and 12-year-old son we're found
Monday morning in the ruins of their
cabin. They lived thirty miles above
here. on the side of the CLASSY Noun
tain, a remote and secluded section.
The cabin is supposed to have been
burned some time during Sunday night.
Investigation is being made, as it is not
thought likely that the family would
have failed to be aroused by the fire or
would have had any difficulty in escaping
from 50 small building. The scene OF
the tragedy is in the moonshine section,
and there is a suspicion that Hensley
may have become involved in some Of
the family feuds SO frequent in the
mountains and the family become VIC
tins Of some enemys vengeance.
