SUPPOSED DEAD MAN ALIVE

Supposed Drowning Accident at Duluth De-
Y y8IOlS Into an Insurance SwiHdI8.
Duluth, Mimi, Sept. l3-An unsuc-
Ccssful attempt was made by a detective
last night to arrest Frederick kraycn-
buhl at his home in a suburb of Du-
luth. The latter grappIed with
the officer and scared him hv
shooting oft pistol and escaped in,
the house, whence he fled later via
basement window. The arrest was al
tempted in response 10 a telegram from
Philadelphia stating that John Clark
and W. B. Gregg had been arrested for
trying to defraud insurance companies
out of $4,000 or more, placed on the
life of Gregg, who was reported TO
have been drowned on July - while
on Lake Superior in small boat with
Clark. krayenbuhl WAS the beneficiary.

cident of New York and the
Mutual Life of New York. 3 600 each:
Fidelity Mutual of Philadelphia and
North Western Mutual of Milwaukee,
8, 600 each.
ON July u the story became current
that Clark and Gregg had been capsized
while ont sailing and that Gregg had
been drowned. Clark told a story of
remarkable endurance, how after the
boat was Capsized he had clung to
the overturned craft from 10 O'Clock one
morning until ; O'Clock, when the boat
drifted on the north shore about eight
cen miles from Duluth. He righted
the boat, he said, and rowed
back to this city and going to

the doorway. There were some
suspicious circumstances connected
with the case. Several weeks later it
developed that tIregg's life was insured
shortly before the time of his disap-
pearanCe and that the policies were
made out in favor Of X kravenhuhl.
About the middle of August a demand
was made for the insurance money. and
the company began investigation. Sev-
eral special agents were sent here and
it was soon decided that there had
been fraud. 1t was found that
during the whole time Clark said
he was drifting on the north
shore the wind was blowing in an en-
tirely opposite direction. Itwas found
too, from the testimony of vcsselmeu,
that no one could live in Lake Superior
for the length of time Clark said he had
been drifting.
The matter resolved itself into a ques-
tion az to whether Gregg was q party to
the fraud or whether he had been mur-
dered. From a vesselman it was finally
learned that Gregg had been seen at La
Poiute, a small place on the Wisconsin
shore several days after the al
legged drowning episode, and from
there he was traced East Clark, under
arrest in Philadelphia, is a brother of

CLEVELAND VETOES 1T.

The President Declares Himself UHat9rabIy
Opposed to Any Compromise Scheme.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. e.-Presi-
dent Cleveland absolutely refuses to
consent to grant any concessions in the
silver fight. More than this, he will
not promise to agree to any recogni-
ton OF silver even should the repeal
bill be passed. This is the sum and
substance of his position as reported by
senators who had conference with him
yesterday. 1t renewed the confidence
OF the friends of unconditional repeal,
who assert their unwayering faith in
the final passage of the measure.
The publication of the feeling of COM
promise that was in the air led a good
many Southern senators to hope and
believe that perhaps the crowns OF
thorns which, as one of them said yes-
terday, they have been asked to wear,
might be lifted from their ye1ed and
anxious brows. The situation was well
known. With the interests of their
party at heart they were fain to present
Is possible, some salye which would take
away the soreness of unconditional re-
peal. The thorough debate in the SEN
ate is arouSing the people of their sec
ton, and letters are beginning to pour
in appealing to them to stand out
against the proposed legislation.
Aware of this condition, they waited
with eager interest the report from the
President When the latter's position
became known, it caused a temporary
cessation of .he compromise talk.
With the understanding that the
President is upon the platform of ''un-
conditional repeal or nothing the
senators hal E settled themselves down
for long siege. In the mean time the
Democrats in the Senate who are con-
Cerned for heir party viii make a
careful canvass and see if votes
cannot be secured for some
measure that will command sufh-
Cient votes to ensure it's passage. There
will be plenty of time to make this poll,
for enough speeches are already in
course Of preparation to occupy three
or four weeks if they are needed
They will not lie delivered in their
lengthy entirety if at any moment the
votes necessary to the passage OF some
concessions are secured

DICK GUENTHER'S GOLD MINE.
1t Is Expected to Yield Enough TO Pay the
treasury judgments.


WASHINGTON, u. G.. Sept. PA
Washington friend Of Richard Guenther
states that it will not be long before
Guenther will be able TO reimburse
Senator SAWYER for all payments
made by the latter on account of the
treasury suits. Richard Guenther is
still in Mexico and except for a short
trip to Oshkosh during the summer has
been there all the time since he retired
from the consul generalship. Letters
received from him recently midi
cate that a gold mine of which
Guenther is general manager gives
promise of great results and that it will
prove very profitable to the projectors.
1t Is said that Gucnther has admitted
his responsibility for the judgment in
the treasury suit and has determined to
pay to Senator Sawyer every dollar
that the latter has paid. This has been
done az far as Guenther has been able
and there is nov due but so 900, which
Guenther hopes to repay if his gold
mine pans out as expected.
