Estate of Rebecca Weeks Has
Account Against ]. A. Win
sor for $4,000
OBLIGATION OF 35 YEARS.
OLD GUARDIAN OF THE ESTATE
DIED LEAVING HIS BONDSMAN,
Mr.. WINsoR RESPONSIBLE FOR
DEBT.
OBLIGATION OF 35 YEARS.

Lax methods of the Henry county
court in years gone by, which with
out recorded cause, permitted the
guardian of an insane ward to be dis
charged from his trust after he had
squandered trust funds, as alleged,
and had made no provision for reim-
bursting the estate, have developed in
the course of an investigation made
by the Dickinson Trust Company
which recently appointed guardian of
Mrs. Rebecca Weeks, an inmate of
the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the
Insane.
Some months ago, by the will OF
Mrs. Eliza Corwine of Henry county
Mrs. Weeks was made the beneficiary
of a bequest of $500. The attorney
for the estate, W. A. Bond. petitioned
the probate court to have the Dickin-
son Trust Company made guardian
for Mrs. Weeks, and the bequest OF
$500 was placed in the hands of the
company. 1t was then divulged,, quite
accidentally, it is said that thirty
five years ago, Mrs. Weeks was de-
clared insane and a guardian was ap-
pointed by the Henry county court.
This guardian was James A. Winsor
and approximately $500. was turned
over to his keeping. In 1884, Winsor
made a report to the court that he
was insolvent and that he had no
funds by which he could giye an ac-
counting of the estate he held in
trust. He was discharged from the
guardianship, though the responsible
ity for reimbursing the estate still
was incombent upon him. However,
he was never forced to settle, and
died owing the estate. J. p. Nichol-
son, of Henry county, was bondsman
for Winsor, and ii is likely that suit
will be brought by the Dickinson
Trust Company against him TO recov-
er the original value of the estate
with accrued interest. which will ag-
gregate approximately $4,000. The
case is unique in the court records of
Indiana.

How Trip Was Planned.
The circumstances surrounding the
strange trip of Smith are extremely
Interesting. Shortly after he had made
one of his three hundred and fifty
mile trips over the famous Alaskan
trail and had returned to Nome, a
crowd of his friends were gathered
together in social session. While
they were talking, a great brawny
German, came stalking into the town,
and word soon reached the mems ears.
The German said that he was walking
around the world on a wager, and had
come from Hamburg, Germany ito
Nome by the way of Russia and ST
IBERIA across the Behring strait and
into Nome The conversation soon be-
came animated and the question of a
eaedge trip was broached. Smith said
he could make the trip to Washington
by May 1st, 1907. He was laughed at,
and he figured in wager which was
made then and there. He was to drive
his mail team of ten dogs all the way
from Nome to Valdez, Alaska, dis

that point he was to take steamer

wreck could be cleared away.
The railroad company is being sew
erely criticised for the expeditions
manner in which it cleared away the
wreckage. The Evening Star hints at
bodies having been destroyed by the
wreckers.
The police list now places the num-
ber of dead at "A persons, of whom
43 have been identified" it says, but
there will never be further definite
information it is believed the railroad
company took the precaution of burn
ing the debris Monday morning before

The railroad people say that all the
bodies had been removed from the
wreck before the fire was started.

PIRATE MANNER HAVING A CON-
TINUOUS OPEN HOUSE.

Richmond Lodge of Elks in accor-

spects to the new year yesterday, the
club rooms being opened from noon
until late last night and throughout
the time were we'll filled with mem
bers There was an elaborate spread
and it was served as continuance
performance.
One of the agreeable features of the
afternoon was the reception of an ap-
propriate gift from r. III. Newman, a
member of Richmond lodge. The gift
is in the shape of a gavel, probably
as appropriate as any that graces the
and undoubtedly the most unique that
is welded over any Elk's body in the
antler forms the gravel, the prong
supplying the handle. The gavel is,
beautifully mounted, sterling silver
cup being richly engraved with the
name of the lodge and the name of
the donor. Mr.. Newman conceived
the idea of an 'antlered gavel' some
time ago, but he found the task of
finding suitable material difficult
one Through the interest of friend
in Seattle, Wash, who was in posi-
ton to get possession of antlers of
extra large proportions, the idea of
Mr.. Newman's was carried to success.
The base of the gavel is fully three
inches in diameter. 1t is rich piece
of work and was greatly admired by
the Elks. j. Bennett Gordon upon be-
half of Mr.. Newman, made the pres
entation speak, and Arthur Burr, up
on the part of the lodge, accepted it.
