this, his affidavit states that the Turkish
authorities have done nothing to assist
him, but have actually endeavored to
thwart his actions.
Considerable local interest attaches to
this case, because two years prior to un-
dertaking his hazardous trip, being then
asbook- keeper in Pittsburg, Pa, Mr..
LEM had insured his life for $1,000, with
the Union Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany of this city.
When hs determined to attempt to
journey around the world on a bicycle,
the form of policy then written being
such as would not allow an undertaking
of this nature, the company's permission
so TO do was asked and granted.
While it has seemed probable for some
little time that LEM was dead, mo- COM
munications having been received from
him for about eighteen months by any
of his friends, it was necessary for some
sort of proof as to his fate to be submitted
to the Union Mutual.
| The affidavits mentioned have been ao-
cepted as all the proof of his death it was
| possibS to procure, and the Union
Mutual will today send draft to the
executor OF Lenzs will, which he had
made before leaving home.
| Payment might have been sooner made
upon these conditions, but the unhappy
mother was loath to abandon the hope that
in some way her son would put in an ap-
pearance. She has finally been compelled
to admit the unweloome probability. in
which conclusion the Union Mutual
joins. Thus ends project perhaps un-
wisely undertaken, certainly fraught
with great danger.
The details are narrated for the purpose
of showing that our Maine company
never tries to interpose technicalities in
order to avoid the payment OF claims.
Every loss is paid with all possible
prOnptness.

LENz's DEATH ESTABLISHED.
Documentary Evidence Which Settles the
Fate of That Intrepid Wheelman-The
Union Mutual Life Will Today Pay $1,000
to His Heirs,

1t seems to be established beyond ques-
ton that Frank g. Lenz the bicycle
rider who started from New York in
May, 1892, to wheel around the world,
was murdered in a remote part of
Armenia, near by the region where there
has since been wholesale slaughter, al
most exactly two years from the day he
rode out of New York city.
| Newspaper reference has occasionally
been made to the presumably sad fate of
this intrepid young man, but affidayits
lately received from tho British consul in
| the city near whore the tragedy is sup
posed to have taken place and also from
Mr.. W. l.. Sachtleben, who was sent by
the Outing Company Of New York, to
| thoroughly investigate the Lenz's dissap-
pearance and bring his murderer's to
justice, If possible, demonstrate, accord
ing to all evidence which can be dis
covered, and to the satisfaction of Lenzs
relatives. that the venturesome wheel
man WAS deliberately attacked and killed
by a band of booty hunting Kurds. Bits
of a bicycle and small articles such as he
carried have been found in the possession
of natives, who have claimed to have
purchased the relics. but all efforts to
discover he body have thus far been uns
avAiling, although rumors as to the place
Of burial have been circulated.
The efforts of Mr.. Sachtleben to pursue
the investigation have been far more
arduous than would ordinarily have been
the case, even in that country. as the
murder took place while Lenz was on the
road to Erzreonn, which has lately been
the ssene of such heart-Esnding massa-
cres, SO that it has been unsafe for a
foreigner to travel alone. Further than
