In the meantime insurance companies

them out for the purpose of defrauding
the companies by killing himself. The
cases are still pending in the federal

order to insure the passage of tue boat
the men and womeu were forced to
stoop over.
At one place the boat swerved to one
side raking the heads of the persons in

heads. This lowered one end of the boat
and the ~ater began TO flow in rapidly.
The guide saw the danger and called to
a Mr. Muehlbronner to jump and take
the chain. This he did, landing on
steep bank. which offe-ed only a slight
foothold. Lying on his face. he held to
the chain and pulled the boat toward the

water, but farther back where there was
no landing the water is eighteen feet

BY the light of a single lantern the
party escaped by climbing over Mr..
