LED DUAL LIFE.
Steiner An Assumed Name Of Man
Who Died Here.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Developments of the past two days
have unearthed the fact that when the
man who was known in Billings for a
period of three years by the name of
L. j. Steiner died at the Hotel Grand
last Saturday there ended a mysteri-
Gus double life, the complete history
of which will likely never be unfolded.
When his remains were sent east
last night the coffin box bore the name
of Jacob Seigman for such was the
name the dead man bore in the early
years of his life, and until the time
when some act of his own, or vista
ton of misfortune, perhaps, caused
him to change it to that of L. J. Stein
er, and go into a strange land among
strange people and live another life.
The discovery of Steiner's true name
came about in this manner
During his residence here he had
always claimed that he was a son of
the mead of the firm of Steiner & Sons,
lace dealers of New York. The firm,
like the name, proved to be a myth.
When he died, Mr.. Bennighoff tele-
graphed to Steiner & Sons and on
the day following the telegram was
returned with a statement that no
such firm existed in New York. Then
it was that Mr.. Bennighoff learned
that about six months ago a well
known lawyer had transacted some
matters of business that had passed
between the man Steiner and his rela-
tives in the east and he went to the
lawyer for information and there
learned for the first time that Jaco.
Seigman was the dead mans lawful
name. Another telegram al then
sent and an answer received last Mon
day directing that the remains be
sent TO New York.
Steiner, or Seigman, vas a man of
genteel bearing and dignitied man
ners and it is more than likely that
he was we'll connected. That his
family knew that he was living under
an assumed name is attested by the
fact of the professional secrecy that
was enjoined upon the lawyer, through
whom they transacted business with
the wanderer some months since.
The true history OF the mans life
will probably be known in Bill
ings.

CLAIMS PART OF ESTATE
WILLIAM III. BARI WILL MAKE
A DEMAND FOR $4,000.
Says She Was the Adopted
of Mrs. Elizabeth lowell
of Cincinnati.

A claim for $500 900 will be filed this week
by Mrs. William H. Barr, living at SAB
North Meridian street, against the estate
of the late Elizabeth Howell, of Cincin-
natl. Mrs. Barr was adopted by Mrs. How
ell when she was eleven years old and lived
with her until after she became of age and
until she was married and moved to this
city. The claim is in the nature of a con-
tract entered into by Mrs. Howell and Mrs.
Bars father, whereby she was to become
the awful heir of Mrs. Howell and sub
ject to the same. consideration as her other
children Attorney L. E. Reinhold will
bring the suit against Charles N. Poor, a
son of Mrs. Howell, who is executor OF the
estate. The estate is estimated to be worth
from $25O,OOO to $500. 900.
Mrs. Barr was not adopted as an object OF
charity. Her mother died when she was a
daughter, Mary, and wanted a girl TO take
her place. Negotiations were entered into
and she was finally adopted under the
provisions of a contract making her a
legal heir. She took Mary's place In the
Howell home, but when Mrs. Howell died
two years ago her will left nothing to the
adopted daughter. There are four descend
ants of Mrs. Howell, represented by Charles
n. Poor, the only living child, and a number
of grandchildren. Mrs. Bars claim is for
one-fifth, the proportion that would have
descended to Mary had she lived. The suit
on the contract will be fought in the courts
of Cincinnati unless a compromise is eff
fected- DR.. II. z. Clark, of this city, is a
grandson of Mrs. Howell.

A MEDAL FROM NAPOLEON
1T Is IN THE POSSESSION OF PAUL
GALL, OF HI CITY.
1t Wars Given by the Emperor to Mr..
Calls Grandfather for Valiant
Military Service.

Ordinarily two or three ounces of gun
metal plated with gold has but little in
trinsic value-abOut as much, in fact, as the
gold is worth. But there is a medal made
of gun metal. heavily plated with gold,
in a small safe in this town that is easily
worth it's weight in gold. The medal is
owned by Paul Gall and is an inheritance
left to him by his grandfather. The high
value placed upon this article of seemingly
little worth is due TO the fact that it was
given to Mr.. Calls grandfather by Emperor
Napoleon, of France. and was treasured by
the senior Gall until his death, when it
became the property of Paul Gall.
Charles Frederick Gall, Mr.. Gall's grand
father, was born in the southern part Of
Germany. and when he was old enough to
light he allied himself with the French.
He became a member of a troop OF cui-
rassiers and was in many campaigns. He
was made a captain of the troop and
fought with distinction in several battles.
During part of the campaigns in which
Emperor Napoleon served Captain Gall
was a member of the Emperor's staff. Cap
tain Gall began fighting under the French
cOlorS in 1892 and was in nearly a. the
campaigns until 1915, suffering the priva-
tons and hardships so graphically de-
scribed in historical stories of the life OF
Napoleon.
Captain Gall became quite intimate with
the Emperor and they were good friends
as close as a captain of a troop of horse
men and an Emperor could be in those
times. The hardships suffered by the Of
hcers OF the French army during some of
the severe winters of the most trying cam
paigns were never forgotten by Napoleon.
Even after he was banished to st. Helena
he thought of some manner in which he
could show his gratitude to his officers for
their bravery during the many battles. At
last Napoleon had small medals made from
the metal of guns that had been captured
i'm the campaigns. The metal was nodded
into beautiful medals about two inches in
length, three-QuarterS of an inch wide
and very thick. The medals were then
heavily gold-plsTed and sent to the Of
ficers who were still living in 1927.
Mr.. Gall. of Indianapolis. now has the
medal which was given to his grandfather
wear off, but he has been offered $500 for T..
dalliOn of Napoleon set in the Napoleon
wreath. Around the medallion is lettered
Napoleon Emperor On the reverse
side is inscribed "Campagnes de 1892 a 1915.
A ses compagnons de gloire, sa derniere
pensee. st. Helene. 5 Mae. 1921" Trans
lated, ITO my companions in glory, my last
thought. ST. Helena, May 8. 1891"
With the medal was also sent a certificate
signed by Napoleon. showing that the re-
cipient was entitled 10 the medal for service
under the giver. The media was wrapped
In a piece Of green cloth. the kind from
which Napoleon's coats were made. Both
the certificate and cloth are retained with
the medal by Mr.. Gall.

A INCIDENT.


Miss Vida Denhardt, who was a student
in an illustrating school here, was one of
the victims OF the Wabash wreck. Her
home is at %Tupperville, Ont, and she was
on her way TO Detroit to join a Thanks
giving family reunion. Several times as she
lay beside the track she revived sufficiently
to tell her name and just before she died
she revealed the fact that a sister awaited
her coming at the Detroit station. The
sister waited until she borrowed a morn
ing paper and saw among the list of the
dead the name of her sister.
Since the disaster the local postoffice de-
partmept has been trying to find Miss Den
hardt to deliver a letter written by her
self before she came TO indianapolis. 1t
was undelivered to the Philadelphia firm TO
whom il was addressed and was sent to
the dead letter office at Washington and
thence TO Detroit and indianapolis.

The liquor license remonstrance hearing
before the County Commissioners was con-
tinued at noon yesterday until tomorrow
morning. The indications are that the side
that wins will do so by a small margin.
A young attorney named Porter, who can
vassed the Fourth ward for the liquor in
~terests. 10 ascertain the legality of the sig
natures. was the principal witness on the
stand yesterday. He said that he found the
names OF one hundred persons not resi-
dents of the ward. He did not state that
they had not been residents of the ward
prior 70 Aug. 1, when the remonstrance was
filed. The temperance people contend that
II they moved out OF the ward the next day

names should be considered.
