STOPPED FUNERAL
Village of New Boston Has a
! Sensation.
DOCTORS HELD POSTMORTEM
Over Body Of John kamin Before Al.

cident in Procession.

Carleton, Mich, July 9-The village
ton in which a funeral, stopped by
the authorities for a postmortem, and
a row between the heirs of the dead
man form the principal features.
Several days ago John Kamin, 4
well-known German farmer living
three miles east of New Boston, died.
The customary funeral arrangements
were made and big crowd, number
ing nearly 500 people, assembled for
the funeral. While the hearse was
waiting before the door to remove the
corpse to its last resting place, just as
the services were concluded, Drs
Clark and Owen of New Boston drove
up to the house armed with authority
to stop the burial pending the taking
Of postmortem.
The body of Mr.. Kamin was taken
into small room and there the post
mortem was commenced. It took over
two hours, during which time rumors
OF poisoning foated over the sur
rounding country and the crowd was
greatly augmented. The result of the
postmortem appeared to be satisfac
tory, as the doctors made no further
effort to stop the rites.
Later it developed that the post
norton had been the result of a com
plant made by one Of the heirs, who
had expressed a suspicion to the coro
ner.
Considerable i'll feeling cropped out
during the funeral services, but there
was no open rupture between any Oh
the members of the family until the
return from the cemetery, when the
rig driven by julius and Charles IA
min, sons Of the dead man, collided
apparently by design, with that ir
which Gus Kamin was riding. The
latter's carriage was completely de
molished.
julius and Charles have been arrest
ed and are now awaiting examination
which has been set for next Saturday

LIMITED TO JULY IL.
Miners Must Accept Scale Before the
National Convention.

Bay City, Mich, July Shining op-
orators of Michigan met in this city
Monday afternoon and presented an
ultimatum to the miners, notifying
them through President Williams, that
the propositions submitted at the re-
cent meeting in Saginaw must be &C.
cepted by July IL or they would be
withdrawn. At the Saginaw meeting
the operators and miners committees
agreed upon a scale which was to be
submitted to the local unions. The
operators say they supposed this scale
was to be voted on at once, but instead
the miners deferred action until July
20, after the national convention. This,
the operators claim, is bad faith on the
part Of the miners, and they want ac-
tion before that date. A letter EN-.
bodying their ultimatum will be sent
to the state president at once.

was this performance that secured for

California, where his lapses of paying
for his board and bed were forgiven for
awhile through sympathy for his wife.
He was finally requested to leave on
account fo his demeanor towards the
partner of his sorrows and failed to
take a receipted bill with him. There
are other accounts including a medical
bill that are yet unsettled. The date
and method of Bainbridge's departure
from Honolulu are still a mystery
When Bainbridge arrived in Honolulu
he was, he said, on walking tour
around the world, under a wager. This
seems to have been abandoned His
wife, who was a clever pianist and was
married to him in New Zealand, is not
mentioned by the Bakersfield papers.
Having expressed a desire to return
home without her spouse, who f1fgot to
treat her with that pOliteness which is
generally supposed to characterize a
scholar and a gentleman, a fund was
raised for that purpose but the deus

intervened.
Bainbridge acknowledged to several,
while in Honolulu that he had been un-
justly involved in a serious sCrape in
New Zealand merely through driving
with another mans wife, a course Ob-
jeCted to by the unreasonable husband
with a revolver. The honorable scars
thus obtained, he exhibited Variously as

CAMBRIDGE WILLNOT
GIVEU NINE DOLLARS

OH Bainbridge has selected Southern
California as his present stamping
ground and his clerical waistcoat, eye
glasses, golf cap and beknickered legs
are to be exhibited during a tour Of
that territory. Later, Oh! cambridge,
will return to Bakersfield to take UP his
work with elocution and drawing class
es which he has instituted in that city.
Meanwhile a young lady resident of
Bakersfield is endeavoring to make
cambridge disgorge her share of the
receipts of a play written by herself
and produced by Bainbridge.
Sometime ago a notice in the Cali
fornia papers of the tricks and man
nerisms of an elocutiOnist and self
styled artist named Bainbridge Nelson,
suggested to those who knew Balm
bridge that that gentleman might have
resumed or adopted the title of Nelson
and have bobbed up serenely after hav-
ing drifted out of Honolulu quietly and
unheralded.
An article to this effect was publish
ed in the columns of the Star of July
22 and the random shaft appears to
have found target The Stars article
was reprinted in the Californian" a
Bakersfield publication and from cor
respondence received seems to have en-
lightened the minds of some of Bakers
fields leading citizens on the subject of
Bainbridge alias Nelson. Miss Mamie
Kelley, the young lady who claims her
share of the production of the play
which she wrote and which appears to
have been produced very successfully In
Bakersfield and other towns, writes as
follows.
Il am the plaintiff in the case against
Nelson on August 1, in which L obtain
ed judgment for the entire amount
claimed in my complaint. A number
of the business men of Bakersfield have
seen your paper and 1t had a great
bearing with them on my case"
cambridge has appealed the case. In
the course of his trial as reported by
the Californian he claims to have re-
ceived five dollars a head from the
Examiner for cartoons similar to those
drawn as posters for the play. The
managing editor of the Examiner
tersely telegraphed that he had "nev-
er heard of him."
A few days later, Bainbridge appears
/ to have spoken in vigorous fashion TO
the editor of the Californian, claiming
that the story in The Star was the out
come of a personal enemy and did him
gross injustice. Oliver Bainbridge

Why Peter SpreCkels Failed

Miss Agnes Spreckels, and spent some
time at Del Monte. Peter Spreckels,
then several times a millionaire, left
this city about Is years ago to take up
his residence in Dresden. lie became
interested in a number of commercial
and manufacturing enterprises and up
to two years ago his wealth increased
until he was rated as worth $4,000, OOO
His daughter married A, Hahn, man
ager of the banking house of Edward
Rockhs, which was behind most Of
Spreckels Industrial enterprises.
In Germany before a company can
incorporate, it must prove that /. can
make good, and some one of the indus
trial banks furnishes the cash, taking
stock in return. There has been a de-
preston for the past two years In the
manufacturing industries of Germany
owing to American competition and
the influx of American goods.
The failure was probably brought
about by this condition, and the fact
that Spreckels' German enterprises
suffered from over-production,
Last year the largest banking house
i'm Leipsic went under for a similar
cause. The assets of the Edouard
Rockhs Bank of which Spreckels is the
principal owner, are s., 500 900, and la
biilties S75O,OOO.
