Smashed.

southwest of Topeka, was badly cut

see the car approaching when she
drove upon the tracks.
The car was coming down hill rap

stop it. One of the horses had leg
broken and had to be shot: the buggy
was torn to pieces, and Mrs. Kneale
was thrown out upon the pavement
some distance away. DIR. Mulvane,
surgeon for the company, was called at

EMPORIA LAW SUIT HERE.
Famous Holderman- Wagner Case Is
Appealed Today.

The famous fight for the Holdernan
estate today reached the supreme court
from Lyon county. This is a suit IN
which two weddings, a divorce, and a
case Of insanity figure, and the fight IS
for an estate of $4,000.
The suit is entitled Carrie Rain
Holderman, by her guardian, L r.
Wright, vs.. Laura e. Wagner and
however, decided that Laura Z. Wagon
er, who is named as a defendant, is the
real plaintiff.
Carrie Rain Ho1derman, the plaintiff
named, is an inmate of a private asy-
lum near Cincinnati, and has been for
thirty years. She was married away
back in the sixties to D. w. HOlderman
in Ohio, and they came west and set
tied at Emporia. Shortly afterwards
there was born to them a baby who is
now Mrs. Laura q. Wagner. In 1871
Mrs. H0iderman was adjudged insane
and was placed in the private asylum
In Ohio Her husband was her guardian
and paid all the expenses of caring for
her.
Along about 1888 Holderman fell in
love with Hannah NJ. Leslie, but before
he could marry her it was necessary to
obtain a divorce from his insane wife.
He resigned as her guardian but had
H. 9. Cross appointed in his stead, pre-
paratory to bringing divorce proceed
ings against her He alleged that she
was insane at the time of the marriage,
or at least, that there was insanity in
her family The divorce was granted
without a contest and Holderman and
Mrs. Leslie were married in $780, Hol-
derman continued to pay for the main
tenance of his former wife in the private
asylum. however. and when he died he
left provision in his will that his ex-
ecutors should enter into contract to
keep up the payments.
Holderman died in 1896 leaving an es-
tate which is said TO be worth $4,000,
which went to the widow. the former Mrs.
Leslie. H. G. Cross had died some time
before and no guardian to succeed him
Holderman, and three or four
years ago the daughter Mrs. Laura z.
Wagner had L. r. Wright, now state
senator from Lyon county, appointed as
her mothers guardian. Then the suit
was instituted in the Lyon county dis
trict court, with Carrie Rain Holder
man as plaintiff. and Laura z. Wagner
and Hannah M Leslie as defendants,
asking the court to set aside void the
decree of divorce which Holderman had
obtained, and to declare Carrie Rain
Holderman the lawful widow of Holder
man. The effect of this would have been
to nuliify the marriage between Holder
man and Mrs. Leslie and to give the es-
tate to the insane widow, from whom
Laura r. Wagner would inherit it.
The case was bitterly contested in the
Lyon county district court, but the
plaintiff lost. The court decided that
the divorce was valid. the marriage was
therefore valid. and that Mrs Hannah
NJ. Leslie is the widow of Holderman.
Now the7 supreme court will be called
upon to review the case.

GLOVES MADE OF RAT SKIN.
Hide of Rodent. Too small for Eve

Hide of Rodeuts Too Small for Even
the ChiId's Size.
A report comes from Copenhagen
that great rat hunt has been organ
lied there and that the skins of many
thousands of the victims are to be
used in making gloves. If the rat
hunters in the Danish capital cherish
any such hopes they are doomed to
disappointment, says the Pail Mall Ca
zette. Rat skins cannot be made into
gloves fit for commerce. The belief
that valuable raw material is being
neglected here survives only in The
minds of the inexpert The glove
maker knows much better A rive
gian merchant once came to En- land
and informed a well-known glove
maker that he had collected over 10O,-
600 rat skins and was prepared to re-
ceive offers for them. He was fully
convinced that the skins were suitable
for glOyemaking. But the manufact-
urer found that the largest skin was
only some six inches long and he held
up a kid skin for the. smallest size
of glove, child's, which was eight
| inches long, and asked how he was to
cut such a glove out of rat skin.
Then he took up the smallest kid
skin for a lady's glove. eleven inches
long, and when he asked how that was
to be cut out of rat skin the Norwe-
gian merchant laughed at the idea and
went away disappointed. The best
offer. he got for those skins. which he
had collected with so much care. was
shillings hundredweight from a
man who was willing to boil them
down for glue
A famous glovemaking firm has a
collection of curiosities relating TO the
llade. and one of them is the largest
pair of gloves ever made out of a
rat skin The belief that such skins
could be made into gloves was laid
before the managers so confdentially
that they resolved TO put it to the trial,
and they ordered number of the
skins of the largest rats which could
be found in Grimsby. But the rat is
a fighting animal, and bears the marks
of many battles on his body, and ii
was found that the skins were SO
SCARED and torn that it was with the
utmost difficulty that perfect pieces
large enough for the purpose could be
obtained. In the end. after ten skins
had been used, a pair of gloves was
cut and made, and they are retained
in the collection to this day. But they
are so small that they would fit only
the smallest of small boys. Thus it
was shown that however cheaply rat
skins might be obtained they would
offer no advantages to the glovemaker.
The rabbit skin is equally useless for
this purpose, and humane people may
also dismiss from their minds the fear
that the skins of pet dogs are made
into gloves. The dogskin glove of
which we used to hear is made out of
the skin Of the Cape goat.
