National Union Has Case That May Make
Some History.
Chicago, Dec. 2S.-1he application Of
Abraham White for membership In the
National Union will make history in
fraternal organizations. White is a
barber, but despite his name there is
a strain of dark blood in his veins.
flowing from his mothers side. He
wants 10 join Prairie council, No. 37S,
Of the Union, which is in Austin, and
the members of the council would like
to call him friend but they don't
want to ignore the constitution Of the
order, which says that membership
shall be limited to male white per-
sons between the ages of Is and So"
A lawyer has taken up Whites case,
and quotes several interesting cases in
behalf of the barber. One is that Of
the United States supreme court in the
Pinchback case. Pinchback was elect
ed governor of Louisiana in the 70s.
Inauguration was opposed on the
ground that the governors mother was
a negro, and the constitution of the
state denied to colored persons the Of
fee of governor. The supreme courts
of the state and of the United States
held that as his father was white
Pinchback was white.

SUES FOR FIRE INSURANCE.
J. r. Faust Seeks to Recover from
Hawkeye Company.


Des Moines, Dec. 28.-Suit was
brought in the district court yester-
day by J. r. Faust against the Hawk
eye Insurance company to recover on
policy of $4,000 of insurance on the
property of Faust, which was burned
several years ago on his farm in Mar
shall county. The suit is the sequel
to the startling story which was made
public some weeks ago in regard to
the life story of Faust. His state
ments were SO strange that many per-
sons believed them to be the vaporings
of a disordered mind, but in the suit
just brought this matter will be fairly
tested. Faust sets up that his proper
ty on his farm in Marshall county
was insured in the Hawkeye and that
1t was burned, but the company re-
fused to settle with him. Before he
could fight the case in court he was
arrested and accused of having set
fire to the property. and for this he
was sent to the penitentiary on testi.
mony which he declares was false.
Later another person made full con-
fession of having set fire to the prop
erty for the purpose of robbery, and
declared that Faust was in Des
Moines at the time and could not have
been guilty of arson. Faust was re
leased from the penitentiary after
serving his term and was seized and
spirited away to the Ohio state insane
asylum, where he was confined foi
several years He finally made his
escape and reioined his wife in Cedar
county, who had supposed him dead
