The Man Who Wants to Recover u Big Slice
Of Eldorado May Have q Poor Case.
EIDoRADo, Kan, Feb. 16.-The de-
PENDANTS in the suit of ID. M. Lower VS..
the property owners in Lovers addi-
ton in this city have gained strong
point in proving the sanity of E. L.
Lower, whom his son claims was crazy
when he sold the town lots. A letter
from superintendent Biddle, Of the
0sawatomie asylum, says that E. L.
Loure was admitted to that institu-
ton May 4, 1868, and discharged May
1S Of the same year as restored
TO his sound mind. As no per-
son by the name Of Lower was ever adj
mitted to the asylum, and as Loure
was admitted about the time Lower
was supposed to have been sent to the
asylum, they are, no doubt, one and
the same person, and this fact will be
OF great assistance in proving his
sanity.
