MAY GET FORTUNE
Trustees for Creditors of Grace
Smell Coffin Love Seek hef
Share of Big Estate
CREDITORS WANT $4,000

Complaint was filed in the United
States district court for the northefG
district of Illinois Monday in au ac-
ton by Clarence j. Richards, of RAJ
cine, as trustee for creditors of Grace
Snel1-Coffin-Coffn Walker Coffin Lay
man-Love. former Kenosha countY
woman, against Frank L. Salisbury
Homer M. Thomas and A I'd. Adcock
and others, trustees of the estate of
Henrietta Smell, Of Chicago. The suit
IN form is an action in ejectment, and
it is sought to recover Chicago real
From what can be learned of the
grounds of this action it will be
claimed that this suit, which IN
wolves only portion of the Chicago
Smell real estate, is test suit, and if
the plaintiff succeeds, all of the real
estate now claimed by the trustees
will become the subject of litigatioU.
While the lawyers interested in the
prosecution are disin clined to discuss
the suit or the merits of it, it is under
stood that the claim will be made
that all of the property now held bE
the trustees of the estate of Henriett&
Smell was attemptedssto be decided to-
Mrs. Smell by her husband prior to his
death. 1t is now of great value, and
worth at least $1,000, 900. That the
cred to Mrs. Smell by her husband
consequently Mrs. Smell never g7s
any title to this property now in ques--
ton is another claim.
This, from what can be learned, Is
likely to be the basis of the PLAINTIFFS
claim. Mr.. Richards, the trustee, Is
seeking to enforce the rights of the
now Mrs. Love in this land on the
ground that on the death of her fatf1ee
she inherited a one-third interest in
It, and in turn the trustees will claim
it will not stand in a contest in court.
The creditors of Mrs. Love are nos
numerous, the aggregate claims be-
ing somewhere around $40, Hee
interest in this property, which is
sought to be enforced in this suit
through the trustee, will amount, if
successful, to several hundred thous-
and dollars. If this suit is successful
It is claimed that all of the property,
which consists of much vacant land
in the city and farms outside, and
many improved pieces of real estate
will go to the heirs of Amos j. Smell,
and will work destruction of the
claims which the trustees under the
will of Henrietta Smell now set up to
this property. The plaintiff. NJ
Richards, is represented by Russell
Whitman, of Chicago, and John b.
Simmons and Wallace ingalls,, of R3-
cine.

FIVE ARE IN PERIL
Yacht lingo Loses Her Spars a
Short Distance From Piers and
Crew Saved by Live Savers
BIG CROWD WATCHES RESCUE

The Kenosha life saving crew added
five more names to the list of people
saved from the lake Saturday after
noon just before S O'Clock, when the
members of the crew of the yacht
"Jingo" we're taken from the disabled
yacht. The yacht is owned by Charles
Waters, and he with four companions,
Joe Pitts, Harold McGoneg1e, James
Sorrensen and Joe Weissang, had
gone out for sail. When the yacht
had passed point some two hundred
yards from the piers her main mast
broke and it became evident-that the
yacht was In dire distress. There
was great crowd of people fishing on
the pier, and in a jiffy number had
started out with small boats IN hopes
Of rescuing the party on board the
disabled boat. By this time the
plight of the yacht had been noted by
the lookout of the life saving crew
and the life boat was launched and
the life savers hurried to the rescue.
The members of the yachting party
were not in immediate danger, but
blow was coming up and the boat was
drifting and entirely beyond the con-
troll of the men on board. The life
savers had little trouble in reaching
the yacht and in taking her in tow.
The yacht was towed into the harbor,
where she is now being repaired. The
damage to the boat was considerable
and it was impossible for her to start
in the annual race Of the Kenosha
yachts on Sunday afternoon.
This is the fourth or fifth time this
season that the life saving crew has
been called out to pick up disabled
boats, but they never made more
spectacular trip. At the time they
brought in the lingo their work was
cheered by a crowd Of fully 200 people.

Pickpocket in Jail at Cincinnati
Takes Unusual interest in Auto
Victim Found Near Kenosha
MAY HAVE BEEN A MURDER.
Paper Signed &C. r." Sent to Ohio
Criminal to Give Him the Details
of the Death of William
Dreyer--New Mystery

A new mystery has been brought
out in connection with the killing of
William Dreyer, of ST. Charles, ILL.,,
who was found along the road north
of Kenosha week ago this morning,
which seems to indicate that it is pos
sible that the man was the victim of a
deliberate murder. and that his body
had been thrown into the road to be
run down by an automobile. While
the police are not taking a great deal
of stock in the story, it is given for
what it is worth.
The story is sent out by the police
Of Cincinnati, Ohio, and it is to the
effect that man by the name of
Frank Williams, an alleged pick
pocket now in the Summit county Jail
awaiting trial, is taking an unusual
interest in the killing of Dreyer. On
Friday night last Williams received a
paper, which had been mailed at Jol-
let, H., and this paper contained a
full account of the killing of Dreyer,
and the article in gard to the case
was marked with blue pencil. The
paper had evidently been sent by
some friend of Williams, as the paper
was signed &C. r. Williams re-
fused to make any statement in re-
gard to the matter or to make public
the name of the man who had sent the
paper to him. The officials in the
Ohio city are advancing the theory
that the killing of Dreyer was case
of -e1llerats murder and that his
body was thrown into the road to be
run over by an automobile. Such a
crime would have been possible, as
the remains of the old man showed a
great cash in his head. At the time
the remains were found it was thought
that this cash was caused by the old
man being struck by the machine.
Chief Of Police O'Hare is investi-
eating this matter but he has not a
great deal of faith in it. The man
Williams is not known to the police
in Kenosha but it would have been an
easy matter for Williams to reach
Cincinnati after the crime. The
identity or ~. *. is matter that
will be an interesting search for the
police.
! In the meantime the local police are
working on the local clues and sever
al automobile drivers have been
hauled into court to tell of their ac-
tons on the night that Dreyer is sup
posed to have been run down. All of
the people have declared that they
knew nothing Of the killing of the old
man. Chief O'Hare has in no way
given up the case and it is possible
that warrants may be issued at any
time and there may be developments
Of decidedly sensational nature be-
fore the solution of the mystery is
found.

TO FILE AN APPEAL
.Dowie Is Dissatisfied With Judge
i i Lands Decision Will
Appeal Case
SAYS JUDGE is PREJUDICED

John Alexander Dowie will not
abide by the decision of Judge Lands
in the appointment of . receiver for
Zion City. He has directed that an
appeal be made to the supreme court
of the United States. Notice of the
appeal will be given the court al
once, but many days will be consumed
in completing the documents that
will have to be presented.
Those Of his faithful followers who
gathered at Shiloh house yesterday
afternoon scarcely expected to be in
formed of the decision of the first
apostle at such an early date, after
he had said to them on Friday night,
regarding the decision Of Judge
Lands, that he wished timesto consid-
er the matter. However, none OF
them expected that the founder OF
the Christian Catholic church and
Zion City would give up without a
fight, and none was surprised when
he informed them that the case would
be carried to the higher court.
The aged apostle showed some
slight signs of recovered strength
when he appeared, and his followers
were pleased to hear the new life he
put in his words and to see something
Of the old fire in his eyes as he ad-
dressed them. Dowie still is far from
being we'll man, however, and tc
some it seemed that it would be little
else than a miracle if he should live
to see the case come to final de.
cision.
II know that my people, who have
always trusted me and still trust me,
will approve of my actions when ]
tell them I have ordered an appeal
made to the United States supreme
court from the decision Of Judge
Landis," Dowie said. Judge Lands
was prejudiced when he made his de-
cision, as was evidenced by what he
said concerning the restoration vow.
He also held that my holding Of the
property of Zion was a trusteeship
for the church, and that also is not
true.
II
.szion, as you all know, is founded
on theocracy. Under the ruling. of
Judge Lands it must of necessity
become a democracy. Under a de-
,mocracy the Christian Catholic
Church can not exist. An apostle Of
God never can be. selected by the peo-
pie. He is called by God. The peo-
pie never selected me as their ruler.
They came to me as their shepherd.
AS for the restoration vow which
has prejudiced Judge Lands against
our cause, it was. vow taken to
serve God. It is vow to subordinate
all human ties and human govern
nent to the divine call. The Chris
tian Catholic church is founded on
this vow, that consecrates our lives to
the Lord above all human ties.
Without this there is no Christian
Catholic church. =

Why Jennings killed himself is a

Jennings partner, A. L. Streeter was
