MAY GET LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Nugent Must Pay Money or Remain
In Jail


Louisville, March 19.-Life impris-
onment for debt is in prospect for w.
T. Nugent, a member of the bankrupt
dry goods firm of E. H. Nugent & Co.,
unless he can produce $14,40O, which
he and his friends say is not in his
possession
When the house. which was one of
the Oldest in the city, failed two years
ago it was charged that before the as
signment was made w T. Nugent son
of the proprietor, had disposed of a
large part of the stock to other houses
for $14 400. This money did not fig
ure in the assignment. but Nugent as
serted that it had been spent in pay
ment of his fathers debts. He how
ever. produced no receipts.
At the instance CT creditors the son
was tried in the federal court. Judge
Evans ruled that he must pay over the
money or go to Jail for contempt of
court until he did Attorneys for Nu-
gent got him out on s. GOO bond pend
ing an appeal. The circuit court of
appeals reversed Judge Evans deci-
sion, but the supreme court of the
United States sustained him. Nugent
then made a plea for a new hearing.
which is now denied.
The argument for the defendant
was that to put him in Jail means vir-
tually Imprisonment for debt.

General Smith, in command of the

MAN HELD CAPTIVE IN
"BUSH" FOR u YEARS
American Given Up as Dead
Is Heard From.
EXPERIENCE OF BROOKLYN MAN
Mine Magnate, Captured BY Austria
lian Bushmen, Is Held Prisoner for
More Than a Decade, His Family
Believing Him Dead

New York, March 19.-After twelve
years Imprisonment among the bush
men in Australia Joseph J. Gill, son of
the late Thomas Gill, a well known
Brooklyn manufacturer, has been
heard from by his family, who had
mourned him as dead.
Gill left home in 1886, and in 1893
his wife, believing him dead, married
again.
On Aug. 18, 1886, Joseph G. Gill
sailed from New York for Australia,
where he had extensive mining inter
ests. The mines were situated about
500 miles from Sydney and Gill ex-
pected to be gone two or three years.
He left behind a wife and two chill
dren, boys of and 5, respectively.
For two years letters were received
regularly. His mining interests were
prospering and he hoped soon to re-
turn to the United States, he wrote
in his last letter.
A period in which no tidings were
received from Mr. Gill followed, and
then came letter from the American
consul at Sydney, N, S. w., stating
that Joseph Gill, wealthy mine op-
orator, and four companions had been
ambushed and killed by Australian
buShmen in Australia not far from the
mines which the Brooklyn man CON
trolled. This was the last heard from
Gill until the news of Imprisonment
which has just been received. 1t came
in the form of a letter to Inspector Nc
Laughlin, of the Brooklyn police. The
letter was dated Daigupan, Northern
LuZOn, p. l. The letter, which was
written in November 1901, was ad-
dressed to the chief of police of Brook
lyn, and was as follows
I'm 1886 l left my home in Brooklyn
for Australia, where l was held a cap
tive in the interior by bushmen until
two years ago l then came to these
islands and entered the campaign with
Macabebe scouts Prior to Aguinaldo's
capture | was severely wounded, and
[ am afraid l am a cripple for life. l
am now working my way back to Sgd.
ney, Australia, to my wife and child.
81 do not know if my dear mother
is dead but would be glad to know her
address if she is alive. I shall be in
Sydney by the time you receive this
letter. Please address me In care of
the United States consul at Sydney"
The Brooklyn police had little diff.
Guilty in finding Gill's mother. Cable
messages were at once sent to Gill at
Sydney.
No details have yet been received
concerning GiIIs Imprisonment among
the bushmen who murdered his four
companions. After his escape Gill is
said to have attempted to secure in
formation concerning his family, The
private detective whom he is said to
have employed reported that his wife
was dead, and soon afterwards Gill
married a Sydney woman. Gills love
of adventure led to his enlistment in
the Philippine service.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co, illustrate
the value Of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themin the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispGlling colds headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
