story Of Stealing Collins and Shipping
Them to Chicago.
SPRING LAKE, Mich, Dec. l5.-If the
story told here by n Mr. Kane is true, one
OF the biggest sensations in the line of
graveyard ghoulishness is soon to be
sprung, backed by arrests Kane says for
two or three years Chicago firm which
supplies country undertakers with coffins
has hired gang of men to visit the
towns in southern Michigan and northern
Indiana and to rob the new-made graves
OF the collins. These hired men of the
Chicago firm have invariably sought out
new graves, dug up the coffins, robbed the
bodies of any valuables they might tud,
throw them back into the graves, replac-
ing the earth, and then shipping the cof-
fins to Chicago, first having taken them to
pieces.
He said that he believed from what he
had heard that hundreds of bodies have
been dug up during the last few years,
robbed and reburied without collins He
also stated that Chicago detectives were
already in possession OF evidence against
half score or SO of these ghouls, and
that they had opened during the last
month some fifteen or twenty graves and
found that the bodies of the dead had
been robbed and the collins stolen.

Searching for Lost Children.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 15.--Two hundred
men spread out in a straight line over
the whole township of Trenton in Fond
du Lac county in search of two little
children aged and years, of Chris
Schulz, who have been missing from home
since last Monday. The children wan
dercd away to neighbours that day
looking for their mother, who was, in
fact, at home. The neighbors sent the
children home, refusing them admission
to the house because one of its inmates
had contagious disease. The little
ones have not been seen SINCE and as
there has been heavy snowfall they are
no doubt dead.

never recovered consciousness after
the Knockout blow, and died shortly
aiter7 o'clock this morning. The blow
seemed not of extraordinary force
and was delivered at very short
range, but Bowen was so weak as to
he able to make no resistance and
falling directly backward on the back
Of his head struck the unpadded floor
of the arena with such force that it
sounded as though he had been
struck with the handle of an AK. The
doctors claim it was not the blow but
-triking the floor which caused the
concussion of the brain and death.
Bowen's young wife and mother
were at his bedside when life went
out with great gasp. Their grief
is pathetic. Lavigne and his seconds
remained in custody awaiting the re-
suit of the injuries. and after his
death was announced they were noti-
fed that they would have to appear
in court later. Afiidavits charging
murder will be sworn out against the

INDIAN TERRITORY
Negotiations with Mr.. 10 Fail
To Be Successful.
TREATIES DO NOT SEEM TO COUNT,

According - = Statesman Of the Lower
House" A6rOgatcd by Circumst ances,"
He Says-House Banking Committee to
Push the Proposed Now Currency Law,
and 1t Will BE the Carlisle Bill with
Little Changc-Hill ON Closure.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Discussing the
probabilities of legislation for change in
the government of the five civilized tribes
OF Indians, Representative Wheeler,
chairman of the house committee on ter
riGories, said;
Dec. 10, 1S93 in discussing the bill for
the admission of New Mexico, read from
the treaties of 1885 and 1855 the clauses
which guarantee that no portion of the
Indian Territory should ever be embraced
or included within or annexed to any ter
ritory or state, nor even be created into a
territory without the full and free consent
OF the Legislative authority of the tribe
owning the same The 9th article of the
treaty of 1885 provided that the Indians
should be protected against interruption
or intrusion from citizens OF the United
states who may attempt to settle in the
country
Called Attention to the Law.
In reply to the proposition then made to
violate these treaties l called attention to
the law which WAS enacted March 3, 1898
which provided for a commission to nego-
tiate with the five Indian tribes for the
purpose of extinguishment of the national
or tribal title to their lands, with a view
to the ultimate creation of state of the
union from the territory now occupied by
the said tribe of Indians. l stated that
this commission had been appointed and
was proceeding to negotiate with
these Indian tribes and l expressed the
opinion that we ought not to take any ac-
ton by congress until the commission
had exhausted every effort to negotiate
with these Indians in the spirit Of the
law by which the commission was created
The commission has been negotiating now
for full year and regret to say that it
has not succeeded in amicably agreeing
on some plan by which the lands could
be allpttcd in scvcralty and a territory es-
tabliShed with n government similar to
that enjoyed by the people of other terri
tories
Ey Force of Circumstances.
Il still hope this desirable purpose may
Ee consummatcd, for it is very clear from
the evidence we now have of the condi-
ton of that country that unless some
amicable agreement is reached, congress
will be compelled to proceed to act ac-
cording TO its best judgment with regard
TO the five civilized tribes. The treaties
have virtually ali been ahrogatcd by force
of circumstances and by the actions OF
the Indians themselves They are bound
on all sides by states or territories.
and they have themselves, by enactment
of their councils, invited white men into
their territories, until they now number
four or five white men to one Indian"
