CUT UP BYA TRAIN.
Indian Named Sullivan May Have
Been First Murdered.

An Indian, presumably one bearing
the name of Joe Sullivan was killed
and mangled beyond recognition by a
Rock Island train on the st. Joseph
branch. six miles north of Topeka sat
urday afternoon. An inquest win be
held over the remains. which consist of
a few dozen fragments of flesh and bone
which are in pickle at the Shellabarger
Undertaking establishment, at 2 o'clock
this afternoon.
The sherin's force has been working
on the case, and are holding three IN
d1ans, the wife of the dead Indian and
her son. a stepson Of the deceased. and
another Indian named A H. Ross, as
witnesses.
1t is presumed that the Indian. being
good and heap drunk lay down on
the track to sleep, and made a dismal
failure at derailtng the train, but the
report made by a gang of section men.
under Foreman James Swartz, indicates
that the officers may look for a murder
case.
Saturday afternoon. while the section
men were coming in on a handcar, they
met three Indians, a woman, a man and
a boy,-they have since identified the
wife and stepson of Sullivan as the wo-
man and boy,-Walking north on the
track. The man and woman seemed to
be very drunk, and just before their
handcar- reached the trio, the big IN
dian struck the woman on the head
/ VIII a Jug WHICH He carried, ana IeiI6O
/ her beside the track. Then the bow who
appears to be about Is years of age.
/ raised some weapon, which looked like
q section of gas pipe, and drove the big
Indians away from his mother. The Sec
4 ton men did not stop to interfere and
passed on Later, in repassing the same
| spot in another direction, they found
the mRngled remains Of the Indian, and
from scraps Of clothing and the broken
/ jug, identified the deceased as the big
/ Indian of the trio they had seen on the
/ track
The section gang did not report the
find at once. but later notified Coroner
H H Keith, who Immediately caused
the arrest of the Indian woman and
! boy together with A. H. Ross another
Indian, who seemed to be a friend oil
the family, and was helping to hunt for
the recreant husband.
The woman and her son claim that
| they left the Quarrelsome Indian soon
after his assault upon his wife, and
started back to town. Meeting Ross
they requested him to assisting In ind
ing Sullivan. and he was thus engaged
when captured on the railroad track by
the officers.
The officers are in doubt as to wheth-
er Sullivan was simply drunk and asleer
/ when killed by the train, or had beer
knocked on the head and left on the
track by the stepson who was threaten
Ing him with the gaspipe when seen bJ
the section men.
The inquest was called for 10 O'Clock
this morning but the sheriff could moi
find the section men, who were the prin-
cipal witnesses. and the hearing was
postponed until this afternoon.
The remains of Sullivan were picked VI
along the track for 200 yards He wal
simply ground to bits. No piece Of tbs
body would weigh more than two
pounds, and parts OF the skull were no
found. The only means Of identification
were few scraps Of copper colored s1iI
and checkered Bingham shirt

LULINC DROPS THE AXE
Opens War on a Topeka Burial
Association.

Indications are that there will be a
legal fight between the COOPERATIVE
Burial association of Topeka, which is
operated by L. M Penwell, and the
state authorities. The first move made
by Insurance superintendent c. H.
Luling to put the mutual burial asso-
Citations out of business was made to-
day, when notices were sent out stating
that the Topeka association was not
operating according to law, and that
the certificate of authority from the
state department had been revoked.
Mr. FPenWell will probably refuse, to
accept the opinion of the attorney gem
eral concerning the validity of~the Co
operative associations.
The attorney general says that the
burial associations must pay the
amount of their policies to the relatives
of any member that dies and not
designate some special undertaken to
have charge of the funeral It is as
serted that the burial conn anies are
organized for the special benefit of
some undertaken. The attorney gen.
eral holds that the companies are like
insurance companies and must pay the
amount of the policy to the relatives
and not keep the money and pay the
funeral expenses themselves. The at
torney- general asserts that this feature
is a violation Of the antitrust laws.
The insurance commissioner is trying
to make the associations pay the
amount of the policy and let the fu-
neral arrangements be made wherever
it may please the relatives.
Investigations are being made into
the rules of other associations, and as
soon as the insurance department
learns the methods Of doing business
of any company and it does not COM
ply with the law similar notice Will be
sent out The notices are to be pub
lished in one paper in Topeka and also
in one paper in the county where the
association is located. ..

SOME CLEVER VAUDEVILLE.

An unusually novel act, something
little out of the ordinary in the way Of
a vaudeville performance, is presented
during this weeks show at the Novelty
theater by a couple OF Young women,
who call themselves THE Zolas.". They
probably style their act as "a rehec-

audiences which filed the theater- to
