DEATH IN THE WATERS.
Ralph Bonebrake, a Former Abilene
Boy, Drowned at Denver.

The following sad story from tn,
Denver Rocky Mountain News of Sun
day, Sept. "a, will be read with in
terest by the people of this city:
"ln the weeds which grow thickly
in the waters Of Berkeley lake Ralph
Bonebrake, II years Of age, the son
Of W. H. H. Bonebrake of Sl47 Berl
street, came to his death yesterday
morning.
"Bonebrake went hunting in com.
pany with Paul Schenck of S0l5
Homer boulevard. Near the banks Of
Berkeley lake they killed a rabbit and
a hawk and they then directed their
attention to a flock of ducks. Bone.
brake fired shot which knocked a
couple Of ducks into the water. The
boys had no boat and Bonebrake, who
was an excellent swimmer and all
around athlete, removed most Of his
clothing and started to swim for the
game.
"At a point about 100 feet from
shore the swimmer was caught in the
weeds and began calling for help. His
companion rushed into the house OF
j. c. Fair, manager OF the lake, who
hastily put out from shore in a boat.
The victims hat lay floating on the
water and marked the spot where the
last struggle had occurred. Help was
summoned and nearly half an hour
elapsed before the body Of young
Bonebrake was raised to the surface.
Physicians who were called found
that life was extinct and the remains
were turned over to Coroner Rollins.
"Bonebrake had been an active
pupil Of the North Denver high
school. His excellent physical devel-
opment fitted him for all athletic
games. He had been connected with
t. me foot ball team and other
school organizations. His father is
manager Of the Majestic Manuiactur-
ing company at 1891 Wazee street.
The relatives decided last evening to
ship the remains to Chillicothe, NO.,
for interment.
The sincerest sympathy Of many
friends here will 60 out to the sorrow
ing family. Frank Bonebrake, the
Oldest son, is just recovering from a
long siege of typhoid fever and Myrtle,
the daughter, has been visiting in
Lincoln, Neb. She returned home
Sunday.

THAT ODD FELLOWS HOME.
De Boissiere Property is Making Lots
Of Court Costs.

In rendering his decision for de-
PENDANTS in the suit of Troutman n
Stone against the trustees of the Silk
vile Orphans home Judge Riggs of
Ottawa decided . case Of wide inter.
est not only to the |. 0. 0. +. Of the
State but to thousands Of others who
have watched the matter in its slow
course through the courts.
Ernest Valeton de Boissiere created
the property. A French millionaire,
he was driven from his home in the
COS by one of the many political up
heavas with which France has been
afflicted. Boissiere gathered together
considerable money and settled first
in New York and afterwards in New
Orleans. He was disciple OF free
love and undertook to propagate the
doctrine wherever he settled. He
came to Franklin county and bought
0 large tract in the southern part OF
the county, locating colony Of some
forty people upon it and giving his
attention to the culture Of silk worms
and the teaching and practice Of free
love. In '76 the Frcnchman's silk dis
play won high honors at the Centen-
nial. He, however, soon aiterward
discarded silk worms and established
a cheese factory on the estate. Politi'
cal changes in France enabled him to
return to his country and secure the
greater part Of bis immense and'hold-
ings on the southern coast OF France
and finally in '98, when he was SS
years Of age, Boissiere determined to
return to France for good. He an
nounced that he would give his prop
erty here to worthy cause. The
Odd Fellows and Ottawa university
each endeavored to secure the proper
ty, the former being successful.
The real estate and personal property
were valued at 800, 900; cash and pa
per with cash value amounted to
500, 600 more. To this amount the
lodges Of the State added $50, 0,000 l..
c. Slime, as chairman OF the board OF
trustees, was placed in charge. The
place was dedicated to its new use
June 4, 1894. Shortly afterward the
grand lodge Of the State became dis
satisfied with the title and declined to
recognize the home as lodge institu-
ton. Litigation then commenced,
based upon the allegation that Bois-
siere was not capable Of transacting
business when the property was
decided, to secure possession OF the
property for his alleged heirs, who,
as a result Of the old mans free love
practices, have appeared in consider
able number. The interest Of the
Frenchman's sister, Madam Martin
ELI, was purchased three years ago
by Messrs. Troutman & Stone, Of To.
peka. The judgment rendered by
Judge Riggs decides prolonged liti-
CATION by these gentlemen to gain
possession Of the property through
the rights Of the sister.
