DO NOT BELIEVE HIM DEAD.
Belle PIaine People Are Divided About
E. z. Wilson.

Many people around Belle Plaine be
heYe that E. E. Wilson. the missing at
torney of Sumner county, really did com
nit suicide. as it is said that officers
found MS coat and hat under the bridge
across the Kaw. Relatives Of the miss
ing man are in Topeka looking up the
matter. AS the affairs OF the Sumner
Sherman Cattle company come TO light,
however. people are disposed to take
different view of things as it is now
known that Wilson borrowed $1,000 from
the Central National bank Of Topeka and
the National Trust company of Ashland
also has S. 900 Of Wilson paper. Both
these concerns have entered suit in the
Clark county court to recover the above
amounts and attachments were being
served on the stockholders and manag
ers yesterday on all goods belonging 20
the company. II was also learned yes
terday that there is mortgage on the
Beaver county ranch OF $4,000, almost
the entire purchase price. Besides these
there are a number OF other mortgages
scattered over the country which appear
one at a time and It viii be some time
before the fun amount of the indebted
ness is known. The fact that SO many
barge mortgages were made is given as
proof that Wilson did not drown him
self but has skipped out with the money.

Just lately a new phase in the congress
mans labor problem has developed. In
each mail he now receives letters from
students laborers. mechanics, and all
classes Of eastern workmen. asking about
the chances for employment in Kansas.

IS LEGALLY DEAD
Judge Wilson Decides That
James Miller Is Dead.
DISAPPEARED II YEARS AGO
Is One of the Heirs to a Large
Fortune.

In the filing of a will yesterday Judge
Wilson was compelled to pass upon
point that rarely comes before a probate
judge, that of determining the length of
time necessary for a person TO be missing
to be considered dead under the laws of
the state.
The will was that of James Campbell.
The deceased states in the viii that he be
queaths to Aletha May Miller and James
Middleton Miller. both chiidre. of ms sis
ter, one-sixth of his entire estate, to share
equally. or if they are not living al the
time Of his death their share shall go to
their heirs.
According to an affidavit filed by Aletha
Miller mentioned in the viii her joint heir.
James Middleton Miller. disappeared from
the home at Little Rock. Arkansas, in the
year 1855. and has not been heard Of since
although diligent search has been made
and many inquiries have been made dur
ing the intervening years. Along with the,

with the terms of the will under the sup

dead Aietha Miller brought sufficient ev-
idence before the judge TO prove that
James Miller had disappeared in 1885 at
the age Of is years and that all efforts TO
find him since that time had been unavali-
ing. In order To distribute the property
it is necessary to find all the living heirs
and Aietha Miller brought the action in
this manner to secure the distribution
Judge Wilson after investigating the case
thoroughly decided that according 10 law
James Miller, because Of his absolute dis>
appearance Tor period Of II years. is to
be considered dead. He is strengthened in
his opinion by a case something similar
cited in Volume 81 of Kansas Statutes,
in which Justice Brewer gives his opinion
that the total disappearance Of person
for a period of years constitutes death
IN the eyese of the law.
