DULuTH, MINI, September 4.--Geo.
Fraber, Of Topeka, Kan, who was
supposed to have been drowned in the
Missouri river two years ago, has been
captured in the woods near The Tower,
MINI. His life was insured for SIS, 900
The insurance companies fought the
payment and the case went to the
supreme court, where his heirs won the
case and the companies We're compelled
to pay. 1t became known recently
that Fraker was near Tower, where he
was known as Schneil. Detectives
from Topeka came on and located and
arrested him. He has confessed his
identity and will go back without
requisition. He says he did not leave
home on purpose to defraud the COM
panies. He happened to fall in the
Missouri river, swan across, and next
day read in the papers that he was
drowned and concluded to carry out
the deception and allow his heirs to
collect the insurance.

Topeka, Kan, September Sin an

said openly that he is a candidate for
his old seat in the senate. He is taking
a friendly stand in favor of silver in
all his speeches. Referring to the
charges that seats were bought in the
United States senate, he laid the blame
at the door of those who elected
senators. He said There is one
remedy. Abolish the present anti
quated, clumsy superfuous and detri-
mental methods of choosing senator's
by legislatures, and let them be elected
by direct vote of the people of the
state, as they ought to be elected"

DALLAS, Tex, September 4-The
Dallas Athletic Club rendered Tax Col
lector Jacoby $500 for a license to pull
off the Cavanaugh fight. Collector
Jacoby explained his willingness to
make out the license, but he had no
blank; in fact no blank had ever been
printed for that kind of license. He
then turned to the law, which, in SUBJ
stance, says that if the collector shall
give manuscript or any other species
OF receipt for taxes, except the regular
blank furnished by the comptroller,
such collector shall be guilty of mis-
demeanor and will be fined from 500
to $500, and may be dismissed from
office. An action will at once be filed
compelling Jacoby to issue the license
to law. This will be carried
through the courts and be the test case
touching the Corbett-F itzsimmons CON
