Friends of the Dead Man Compelled to
Interfere for Compromise.
SHELBYvILLE, Ind, Feb 26 The soul
of George Hawkins has quilted earth,
but his body was destined to become
the bone of much contention before it
found its last resting place. Collier &
Murphy, undertakers at indianapolis,
expressed the body to this place to be
inferred. w. G.. Tindall, local under
taker, met the remains at the depot and
with apparent authority took charge,
proceeding to the residence of the wife.
Having another funeral on hand, be
went away, with the understanding
that he would return at the hour set for
the Hawkins ceremonies. While he
was gone Collier & Murphy appeared,
and getting Hageman, one of Tindalps
rivals, sold him the job for $50 and put
him IN possession of the corpse. Just
as the funeral was ready to move Tin
dali came and demanded possession.
Hageman was out $40 and would not
surrender. Both hearses were backed
up and the rival undertakers each dared
the other to lay hands on the coffiu. A
battle seemed imminent, when frienos
of the family interfered and brought
about compromise in which Hageman
paid Tindall $40 to let him alone with
the Job. Hawkins was carpet weaver
and died in the insane hospital at In
diapapolis

Kansas Farmers Say 1t Ensures a Crop of
100, 100000 Bushels of Wheat.
TOPEKA, Kan. Feb. 27.-Grain men
say that the recent heavy snow will
make a wheat crop of 100000, 900
bushels in Kansas. Despite the low
price of wheat and the dry weather
last fall, the area seeded was over
$500 900 acres, according to the latest
report of the state board of agriculture.
That is a greater area than produced
the phenomlnal crop of 1892; the area
that year was 100000 acres. The Off.
clal crop estimate was 72,500,000
bushels, but many of the best grain
shippers in Kansas do not hesitate to
declare that the state produced 100,
O0O, 900 that year. Wheat from that
crop is still coming to market. Ir is
easily possible for Kansas to raise 100,-
OOO, 900 bushels of wheat on the area
planted this year, and this great snow
fall, which covers the entire state,
makes big crop reasonably certain.
Moisture is all Kansas needs to make a
wheat crop certainty. There is, of
course, chance of dry weather in the
sprirg, but the men who have the
greatest experience in raising wneat
in Kansas. believe there is little room
for anxiety, when Kansas wheat gets
plenty of moisture in February.

TusooN, Arizona, Feb. 26.-No authen-

These, added to eleven others which

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 26.-The west end

terious disappearance of Val Keifer,

business men of that quarter of the
city. He Is married and the father of
an interesting family, which includes
daughter 1s years old and two younger
girls. On the tenth of this month he
remarked to the mother that the young
er girls ought to have their bangs cut,
and If she would make them ready he
would accompany them down town. rhe
mother did so and that was the last seen
of Mr.. Keifer and the girls. Mrs. Kei-
fer kept the flight of the father and
children TO herself for several days, but
the agony of doubt as to the wherea-
bouts of the children finally induced her
to call upon detective agency.
1t is understood that the fugitives have
been traced to Chicago, and the suppo-
sition is that they have gone to Port
land, Oregon. The foundation for this
lies in the fact that some time ago Mr..
Keifer proposed to his wife to remove
to the Pacific coast and she objected,
telling him that he had tried several
locations and that he was dissatisfied
anywhere out of indianapolis. She did
suggest, however, that he might &C
