A REMARKABLE DOCUMENT.
1t Is Attestsd BY a Woman Who
Sweafs She Is Insane.

One OF the most remarkable d0cu'
ments ever filed in Dickinson county
is an interplea in the Kirby bank
matter served on Receiver Halleck by
County Attorney Kane, relating TO a
deposit Of $500 which it is claimed Is
trust fund. The money was, it
says, placed in Thomas Kirby's hands
in 1896 by J. P. Campbell as a fund
for Rachel Williams, now Durkin,
and she has drawn only the interest.
The strange part Of Mr. Kane's
legal paper follows. 1t says:
Your interpleader further alleges
that at the time said money was so
deposited in the Thomas Kirby bank
she was incapable of managing her
own affairs because Of mental and
physical infrmities and that such
mental and physical infrmities have
have continued to greater or less
degree up to the present time"
Added to this as proof of the cor
rectness of the claim appears this
affidavit:
"Rachel Durkin being duly sworn
on her oath says that she is the inter-
pleader herein, that she has had read
to her the foregoing interplea and
that the matters and things therein
alleged are true,
"RACHEL DuRKIN."
The whole is signed by r. H. Kane,
attorney for the interpleader in whose
handwriting is the paper.
The idea Of having person stated
to be mentally afflicted attest on oath
the correctness OF claim and also at
test to her own mental inirmity is so
supremely preposterous and so re-
markable piece Of legal procedure
that the lawyers Of town are all
laughing at it.

Game That Came High.

Those two noted nimrods, Jesse 4.
Eiston and Harry S. Taylor, had a
great hunting experience last week.
They went south and returned with
plenty Of game and reaped all sorts Of
glory for their prowess. But there is
another side to the story. A vera.
cious reporter was on watch and
found out several things, among
them these; The boys with Sherwood
Strother started on their hunting trip
in high spirits. They left Sherwood
at Navarro and drove to Marion coun-
ty circling around to Woodbine, hav.
ing seen but three prairie chickens,
none OF which was shot. No other
game Of consequence was sighted.
Not liking to come home without
game they took the train at Wood.
bine and went to Kansas City where
they loaded up with several fine spec.
linens Of the sportsman's art and re-
turned. They then drove home and
received the plaudits Of the multitude
as having made the best record OF the
year. They deserve great credit for
the ingenuity Of their plan but should
not have allowed news of It to get
out.

COME TO ENTERPRISE.
German Methodists Hold Conference
There Next Year.

H"' 'sa9S' oeP" Ao' uS NVet
German Methodist conference now in
session at Kansas City will be held at
Enterprise next year, the question
being decided by vote Saturday
morning. St. Joseph, Mo-, extended
an invitation for the conference to be
held in that city, but Enterprise won
by narrow margin, The vote was
afterwsrd made unanimous. The
conference has been twice held at En-.
terprise and the ministers are assured
Of hearty welcome.
After the place for the next meet
ing was settled Bishop Andrews, who
is presiding over the sessions, sub.
mitted the Rock River conference
proposition to vote. The proposi.
tion involves change in the consti-
tuition Of the church in ALLOWING an
equal number Of lay and ministerial
delegates to the general conference.
The question has been before the
various conferences OF the United
States for several years. Heretofore
the ministers have had larger repre-
sentation in the general conference
than have the members OF the church
at large. The proposition indorsing
a change was adopted by vote of 81
to 5.
The conference treasurer, Rev. +.
Kaltenbach, then made his annual re-
port which was adopted without dis
cusson. The report showed the
amount contributed to benevolences
in the entire conference during the
past year to have been $l3, 1880, a
gain Of $l,695.90 over last year.
Bishop Andrews highly commended
the conference on the substantial gain
that was made.
