JUDGMENT OF CUSTER.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 3.-The supreme
court has ouSted from office Railroad
Commissioner W. NJ. Mitchell, the dem

the republican executive council in
March. 1891, for a term Of three years.
Mitchell had little more than year
to serve when the populists came into
power in January last. but as the act of
the legislature creating the board made
the tenure of office subject to the will
of the executive council. the populists

New YORK. May 9..The Times says:
John w. Hillman. the hero and chief
conspirator of the famous Hillman in

rested. For fifteen years relatives have
been trying in the courts to prove him
dead in order to collect about $4,000
insurance on his life. During all these
years the insurance companies holding
the policies have resisted the
claims on the ground of fraud
and conspiracy, alleging that Hill
man was not dead at all. The
face values of the policies have been
more than consumed in the costs of lit
igation. and the case has come tOrank
as one of the most remarkable and ro-
mantle in the history of life-insurance
frauds. The insurance was written in
Kansas, and all the litigation has been
carried on in that state. but the COM
panies concerned are all located in the
east and the contest has been directed
from this city.
The first indication by which the
fraud was finally traced was obtained
from Charlton 7. Lewis, attorney for
the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of this
city. which, with the New York Life
and the Connecticut Mutual Life In
