Fort Wayne, Ind, Jan. 17.--John J..

client legion, has received the following
telegram:
John J. Ryan, Fort Wayne, Ind:
Send some comrade at once to Com
rade Bresnehan, Cleveland, O., who can
Identity Boyle, now under arrest there.
(Signed) JOHN ID. CARROLL,
supreme Secretary"
This throws new light upon a case
which has mystified the police authori-
ties of nearly every large city in the
country for the past four years, and
possibly puts an end to the fierce legal
tight which has been carried on in the
courts since 1894 and which is now be-
fore the supreme court of the state of
Indiana.
William Boyle, a Fort Wayne man.
was reported to have been drowned in
Lake Michigan in July, 1891, his clothes
being found on the banks of the lake
at Chicago. Boyle was insured in the
Catholic Benevolent legion for $4,000,
and his wife. Anna Boyle, presented her
claim The legion refused to pay, on
the ground that the body would first
have to be recovered
Mrs Boyle instituted proceedings in
the circuit court on october 3, 1894,
against the supreme council OF the G.
B. L., and on December II, 1894, judg-
ment was awarded to her in the sum of
ST. 0223. The case was carried to the
supreme court, where it is now on
trial
A. A. Cooke, who was personally ac-
quainted with Boyle, left for Cleveland
last night.

peace among the boys, especially among
the small boys, we think that it should
be encouraged, for what is more de-

others,

Senator Edmunds.

Tx Senator Edmunds of Vermont, fire
quently appears before the Supreme
Court. He is constantly employed by
the United States Interstate Commerce
Commission as special counsel in cases
before the supreme tribunal. Mr.. Ed
munds will doubtless argue for the com
mission in the great case to test the val
iditY rf the action of the commission in
deciding that the recently organized
trunk line pool is illegal and opposed TO
the spirit of the law regulating interstate
commerce. 1t is now believed that the
Supreme Court will advance this case on
the calendar so that decision may be
rendered early in the spring.
Since his retirement from legislative
life, Senator Edmunds has had very
large legal practice to look after. His
fees from the United States to-day are
about double his salary as Senator,
and his aggregate income from his law
business is said to approximate $50, 900
or $50, 900 annually,
