A Remarkable Case.

The following case was printed origi-

were raised as to Its truthfulneSs, con-
sequently close watch was kept on the
case for two years and the original
statement has now been completely ver-
ihed.
Mr.. Petch had been hopeless paraly-
tic for 1--WE years. His case has had wide
attention. He was confined to his bed,
was bloated almost beyond recognition
and could not take solid food. Doctors
called the disease pinalsclerosIs. and all
said he could not live. The Canadian
Mutual Life Association after a thor
ough examination. paid him his total
disability claim OF $3.50, regarding him
as forever lncurable.

without a dissenting vote. It was some
i ing that never hefnro hannan Cd in

without dissenting vote. It was some
thing that never before happened in
Chicago and was a. great compliment to
the standing of Mr.. Rollins in this city.
All of the candidates were called upon
and made short speeches accepting the
nominations. When Mr.. Rollins was
called for it was found that he was not
present. After the adjournment of the
convention a friend, who went to in
form Mr.. Rollins of his good luck, found
him busily engaged looking over some
important documents. He was very
much surprised when told that he had
been nominated for South Town Clerk,
as he had made no effort to get the
nomination. After thinking over the
matter, Mr. Rollins concluded that as
he had private business enough to keep
him employed and he had grave doubts
about the ticket being elected, he would
decline. This he did, and another Afro
American was substituted for him on
the ticket.
Mr.. Rollins declination was a great
surprise to the white politicians, as
there had usually been such scramble
among the Afro-Americams for every
possible nominations
Shortly after Mr.. Rollins came into
possession of the property, corner Of
Dearborn and Van Buren, streets, he
was offered 5000 per month by r. w.
Patterson to take charge OF the Tribune
building as head janitor. When re-
porter Of The Appeal asked Mr.. Rollins
why he refused the good things offered

West, young man." Thus young Rol-
Inns started and located at White Water,
Wis, in April, 1865. But Mrs. Turner
kept track of him by correspond dence,
persuading him to return to school
again, as she felt there were great
things in the the future to- be had out of
him. Young Rollins, however, did not.
remain in Wisconsin long as the wealth
er was too cold in that region for him.
He returned to Chicago and lived until
March, 1868, when he returned to Wash
ington City, and the same spring he
went to Trenton, r. l., and spent the
summer with am old village farmer by
the name Of DR.. West. Returning to
Washington lin September, the same
year. he Joined the District Militia. He
was made sergeant major of the Second
District Regiment and afterward pro-
moted to first lieutenant of Company q,
of the Second Regiment. His regiment
was the secbnd in line behind Grant
when he was first inaugurated Presi-
dent of the UNITED States. On his re-
turn to Chicago, he organized what was
known in those days as Logan Guards.
Gov. Beverage was communicated with
in regard to Recognition as state militia; !;
the governors reply was: Gas your
company being the first Afro-American
company that ever applied for such hon
ors and there not being enough Of you
to form a regiment of yourselves, / will

BROKE THE| RECORD
THE FISST TO
DECLINE A NOMINATION.
Citizens D clines tho Nomination for
South Town Clerk, After Being I'm
animously Chosen by the Convention.

Frank William Rollins Is, so far as
known, the only Afro-American in the
state who has declined nomination by
a convention of white delegates for an
Important office. Rollins is a real estate
dealer and is worth 100000.
The old4time politicians who attended
the South Town convention, which met
March 19, were very much astonished
when the Sixth ward delegation named
F.sW. Rollins for South Town Clerk.
Mr.. Rollins had never been heard of in
politics before, and the fact that the
Sixth ward contains only a handful of
Afro-American voters made it seem
queer to the politicians that the nomi-
nation was given to that ward. There
had been fight over every other name
presented to the convention, but the
nomination Of Mr.. Rollins was made
