NOBLEMAN DIES IN A LOG HUT.

Lord Herbert Discovered BY Indian
Territory Cattlemen Delirious and Dy-
ing-Buried Near His Cabin.
PARIS, Tex, March 14.-Word comes
here from the Arbuckle Mountains of the
death of Lord Herbert, an English noble
man. The last few years of his life were
spent under strange circumstances.
Some years since a man still in the
vigor and prime Of manhood came with
out announcement into that portion of
the Indian territority. In an unfrequented
spot he built log hut. Day after day
he wandered about, hunting and fishing
In the country, the home and refuge for
many fugitives from justice, he was
looked upon with suspicion. One day to
a young man who mentioned these sus
picions to him, he stated that he was of
the British peerage and that at home he
was known as Lord Herbert" This
was told, and for three years he has been
known by that name.
Last week g party of cattlemen well
acquainted with the place and the habits
of the hermit, rode by and noticed his
horse standing by the fence whinnying
and the dog lying in front of the door
whining piteously. One of the party got
down and went in and found the man
rolling and turning in his bed delirious
and dying. The next day he died and
the cattlemeu buried him near his cabin.

the whole Arch Diocese of st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS. March 14.-Further infor-
nation was received yesterday regarding
the visit of Mgr Satolli to the West.
The information shows that Mgr sa-
tolli has stated appointments for the
transaction Of business and the trial Of
causes at both Kansas City and Lincoln,
Neb. He will go to one of these points
from st. Louis. whichever seems the
most urgently in need of his presence.
Kansas City, it is thought will be first
visited after leaving here. There it Is
stated, he win take up the long comph
Gated and disagreeable controversy be-
tween Father Hines of Pierce City and
Bishop Hogan of Kansas City, which
grew out of the suspension of Father
Hines by the bishop half a dozen years
ago for alleged characterization and
which Archbishop Kendrick has failed to
settle. II will be remembered that
Father Hines last summer took his case
to Rome, but that no decision was given
in the matter
Mgr. Satollis business in Lincoln is
said to be an examination into the differ
ences between Bishop Bonacum and bis
priests. The charges made by eight
prominent priests Of the Lincoln see
against their bishop have been brought
to the attention of his titulsr grace OF
Lepanto and the information received
here states that complaints have been
made by many other Lincoln prelates.

Burke has been dissatisfied and from
which he asked transfer to the see OF

also be examined into and, in short, the
whole arch diocese of st. Louis is to be
given a thorough "shaking-up' by the

Mgr. Satolli is to have with him two
doctors from the Catholic National Uni

RUSSELL sAeE's REQUESTS.

Remembers His Former Home by Hand
some Gifts to the Rensselaer, Institute.
TROY, n. Y, March 14-It has long
been thought in this city that Russell
Sage Of New York intended to remember
his former home by gifts to the Rensse-
laer Polytechnic Institute, and the Troy
Female Seminary Mr.. Sage has
already approved plans for a dormitory
which will cost $780, 600 for the female
seminary, work on which will be begun
in the spring.
1t is now announced that he intends to
benefit the Rensselaer, Polytechnic Insti
tute by giving fund for the uses of that
institution, as the buildings are ample
for the purposes of the school The
amount of that fund is only conjectural,
as Mr.. Sage has not announced how much
It will be.
It is suggested by friends of the insti-
tuition that the seminary building be
named in honor of Mrs. Sage who is the
president Of the alumni association and
that the institute fund be called the
Russell Sage fund

A Man Who Was Thought to be Dead
Appears just in Time to Get a For
tune of Half Million.
HUNTINGTON, Ind, March l4-After
being thought dead for twenty years,
man turned up here yesterday to claim a
fortune that had been waiting its owner.
In 1872 John S. Graves went west. From
the time of his departure nothing was
heard of him. After he had been gone
some time his relatives made an effort to
locate him but did not succeed. After
several years had elapsed without any
tidings, Graves was given up for dead.
Four years ago his uncle Jessie Griffith.
died bachelor, leaving $780, 600. One
of the heirs was the missing John
Graves. Attorneys started a new hunt
for him and newspapers the country over
advertised for him. Over hundred
persons answered claiming to be John
Graves, but in each case the fraud was
detected Finally Graves was legally
presumed to be dead and an sdministra-
tor appointed upon the estate. The
property was all turned into cash.
Yesterday Graves appeared here after
an absence of twenty-one years. He had
not heard of his uncle's death. There
was no trouble in proving his identity.
He has been all over North and South
America in business and also as an
Indian teacher. He has of late resided
in Washington.

LOWBER'S SUSPICIOUS DEATH.

His wife and Others Of the Opinion
That lie Was FouIiy Dealt with.
Strange Incidents Connected with the
Case.
Coroner Kirk held an inquest last
night on the body of Joseph Lowber.
who was found lying along the Philadel
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad
tracks, near Gordon Heights, on Sunday.
Mrs. Maria Lowber, wife of the dead
man, stated that her husband left home
about 6 o'clock on Saturday night ap-
parently in good spirits, saying that he
was going to get shaved. She did not
see him again until his body was brought
home. Her husband had but little
money in his possession when he left
home.
George Young saw Lowber in Fehren-
bach's saloon, at Fourth aud French
streets, about o'clock on Saturday
night. He had cane and hat at the
time, but these were not found near his
body on Sunday.
The jury adjourned until tomorrow
night in order TO ascertain what has
become Of the hat and cane.
theory is prevalent throughout the
city that Lowber was foully dealt with
HIS wife expressed that beliet before the
coroner's jury last evening She said
that he had trouble with the employees
in his charge and often complained
about them.
1t would be impossible for him TO have
galked up the railroad to where he was
found on such dark night as Saturday
without having fallen through one Of the
bridges The opinions of Coroner Kirk
and Detective Jones are that he must
have walked out Market street, over the
bridge TO Shellpot, then TO Edgemoor, and
from there up the railroad track
1t was FIRST thought that he had fallen
of a passing train, but that theory has
been exploded.
He was found lying between the north
and south bound tracks, and may have
been struck by train, but the absence
Of his hat and cane make this hardly
likely.
Some interesting facts will be brought
out before the coroner's jury summoned
for to morrow night. Several witnesses,
who it is hoped, will throw some light on
the mystery, viii testify.

AToHIsoN, Kan, March 14-The
closing of the doors of the Kansas
Trust and Banking Company, of this
city at o'clock last night has caused a
great sensation. An application for the
appointment of receiver was fled in
the United States District Court at
Topeka by the eastern creditors of the
institution. Judge Foster named Free
land Tufts of Kansas City, as receiver
and he at once came here and took
charge of affairs of the concern. The
liabilities of the bank are estimated at
$500, 900 and the assets, so the officers
claim will fall not far short of that
amount.
The company owns 10000 acres Of
land in Kansas and $4,000 worth Of

In the United States Court yesterday
Manley confessed judgment for the es-

also made by him as manager to the
company to the amount of $4,000 Every
dollar that the Manieys possessed has

The company was organized in 1885,
with a capital of 800, 900. The princi.
pal part, If not all, the capital stock was
subscribed by ex. Senator Ingalls,, A. r.
Manley and the Manley estate, and E. G.
Armbys. The statement of the Manley
party is that the receivership is in the
interests of the holders of the obligations
of the company and will result in a
liquidation of all claims. The company
became slightly embarrassed over two
years ago, at the time when the best land
companies were compelled to succumb to
the general depression and was obliged to
borrow largely to meet immediate de-
mands.
The concern loaned considerable money

There are many local depositors who
