Piscataquis Observer: While monu-
ments are being erected to heroes of the
Aroostook war and talked about for cele
brated Indians, would it not be well to
keep in mind the fact that there lies
buried at East Dover the body of II man
who fought with John Paul Jones on the
Bon Homme Richard. 1t is Isaac Royal,
the father of the late John Royal of Dover
South Mills, and there is authentic proof
that he served under Jones.
Frates, the great tub" oarsman of
Portland, who went to tie islands last
summer in that ticklish craft, says that
he is engaged for a trip to Boston the
coming summer in the same craft, and is
to receive $1,000 for successful voyage.
But what of it? Are we not told that
once upon time three wise men went to
sea in a bowl?

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Property owners
on Fifth avenue, one Of the streets upon
which the various elevated railways of
this city propose to construct union
loop for the use Of all the roads, have
started out to make a big fight against
the companies. They made application
in the federal court for restraining Or
der against the roads, and their appfica
ton fairly bristles with charges against
city officials of various kinds and in
different branches Of the service. W.
D. Kent, commissioner of public works,
is specifically charged with being the
agent Of the Northwestern Elevated
railroad in securing the passage of the
ordinance permitting the construction
: OF the loop, and with having worked in
various ways against the protesting
property owners. A majority of the
members of the city council is accused Of
having been bribed to pass the ordi-
nance. The charge against the alder
men is general, but the filers of the ap-
plication say that it CAN be made specific
and is easy Of proof,

LIVING As 4 HERMIT.
Insurance Swindler Fraker .Lo-
Gated in the Mime
sofa Woods.
Was Insured for $4,000 and
Heirs Have Collected
the Money. @
Admits His Identity and Will
Be Taken to Kansas e
for Trial.

DULUTH. Mimi, Sept. 3.-George
Fraker, Of Topeka, Kan, the man who
was supposed to have been drowned in
the Missouri river two years ago, has
been captured in Minnesota Fraker's
life was insured for $4,000 and the
heirs brought suit in the Kansas courts
to recover. The case went to the su-
preme court, and was one Of the most
famous insurance cases of the country.
The insurance companies were defeated
III the final decision, it being rendered
last month. It was always maintained
by the companies that Fraker was alive,
but his whereabouts were unknown.
Recently it became known in some way
that F'raker was near Tower, where he
was known under the alias of Schnell.
Admits His Identity.
Attorney Robert T. Herrick and Dep
uty Sheriff Wilkinson of Topeka, came
here and organized party to search
TOR him. F'raker was found in the
woods and his capture was effected in a
strategic manner. He was brought to
Duluth and will be taken to Topeka at
once.
F'raker will go without requisition.
He has been living near Tower for six
months. He admitted his identity and
said he did not leave home Oh purpose
to defraud the companies, but that while
he was Oh the Missouri river, he fell in
and swan across to land. The next day
he read i'll the papers that he had been
drowned and concluded to carry out the
deception and allow his heirs to collect
the Insurance.
Reward Of $4,000 Offered.
The case is one Of great interest be-
cause OF a reward Of 500 900 which was
offered for his capture. Fraker is ply
slcian, and up to the latter part of 1893
was physician to the St. Elmo hotel, the
leading hotel at Excelsior Springs, IA
nous health resort near Kansas City.
Together with seven or eight compan-
ions, the doctor went fishing on the
Missouri river one day, and after dark,
while in the company OF George Har-
vey, James Triplet and Jake Crowley, a
negro, he disappeared and was seen no
more. These three parties afterwards
swore positively that they witnessed his
drowning while rowing in leaky boat,
but after a st1ict search his body could
not be recovered. Suits We're at once
brought to recover 500, 1000 insurance.
and the decision in favor of the heirs
was but recently made.

Wyoming Will Not Allow Indians to

DENVER, COL, Sept. 3.-General
O'Brien, commander Of the department.
Of Colorado and Wyoming, G. A. R.,
said:
eff the Indians attempt to hunt in
Red Desk, Wyo., they will never return
alive. The white settlers of the region
are aroused and they are amply able to
meet any number OF Indians that at
tempt to kill buffalo. At the last ses-
sion Of the state legislature a stringent
law was passed to protect the only herd
OF buffalo i'll the state. The state will
stand by that law even if it brings Wy
oming up face to face with Uncle Sam.
We are law-abiding citizens and we ex-
pect Indians to obey the law even though
they are fed at the crib Of the general
government"
