DEMANDS CASH LOST AT POKER.
indianapolis Man May Sue for Losses
in "Gentleman's Came"

Indianapolis, Ind, March Ia
Several business men of this city who
occasionally sit in a 'gentleman's"
game of poker were notified today
that Willard S. Wickard had placed
claims against them IN the hands of
Bartholomew. a lawyer. for
the recovery of money lost in the
games.
The letters of notification were sent
out from Bartholomew office, and
state that he has the checks given by
Wickard in payment of the gambling
debts, and unless the money is re
funded he will bring suit at once for
its recovery. q
Wlckard was indicted with State
Auditor Sherrlck some months ago in
connection with deals with the audi
tor by which he secured a large sum
of money. AS the Indiana Jaw does
not give any relief for the loss of
money at gambling. unless the money
SO lost belongs to other persons. 1t is
assumed that Wickard Will allege
that the money he lost was not mis-
own.

Unless an effort is made by the

statement of the actual excavation

1t is we'll known and simply seen,
If the amount of earth excavated is
measured by the number of cars used
in carrying 1t away, the total cubic
yards will rapidly multiply, but this

Contractors and engineers say that
it takes a couple of weeks to deter
mire how much has been removed
from an excavation. Mr.. Stevens re-
ports, however, have been coming in
almost before the end of the month,
so it was impossible for him to take
his measurements in the cut.

particularly the mother, of Abraham
Lincoln. OF course, refer to the
widespread tradition that Lincoln
was born of that class known in the
south as poor whites" that his
father was not Thomas Lincoln, as
his biograpners insist on declaring,
but rich and cultured planter of an
other state than Kentucky, and that
his mother not only gave fatherless
boy to the world, but herself was a
nameless child. The tradition has
always lacked particularly. For in
stance, there mas been large differ
ence of opinion about the planter
who fathered Abraham, who he was
and where he came from. One story
calls MIN Enloe, another Calhoun,
another Hardin, and several different
states claim him. Only five years
ago book was published in North
Carolina to prove that Lincoln's
father was a resident of that state.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood In the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when UNI
healthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, govt. gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing. dizziness. ir-
regular heart. debility, drowsiness.
dropsy, deposits In the urine. etc.
But If you keep the filters right you

THE LOG CABIN IN WHICH LINCOLN WAS BORN

The bulk of the testimony offered In
this instance came from men and
women who had been born long after
Abraham Lincoln, had never seen
him, and never heard the tale they
repeated until long after his election
to the presidency OF the truth of
these statements as to Linco.n's
origin no proof has ever been pro-
duced. They were rumors, diligently
spread in the first place by those
who for political purposes were glad
to belittle a political opponent. They
grew with telling, and, curlously
enough, two of Linco.n's best friends
helped perpetuate them - Messrs.
Lamon and Herndon-both of whom
wrote lives of the president which
are of great interest and value. But
neither of these men was student,
and they did not take the trouble to
birth. They accepted rumors and
enlarged upon them. Indeed, II was
not until perhaps twenty-five years
ago that the matter was taken up
seriously and an investigation begun.
This has been going on at intervals
ever since, until venture to say that
few persons born in pioneer COM
munity, as Lincoln was, and as early
as 1909, have their lineage on both
sides as clearly established as that Of
Abraham Lincoln. II takes, indeed,
a most amazing credulity for anyone
to believe the stories have alluded
TO after having looked at the records
of mis- family Lincoln himself,
backed by the record in the Lincoln
family Bible, is the first authority for
the time and place of his birth, as
well as the name of his father and
mother. The father, Thomas Lin

vile. died only few years ago.
But while these documents dispose
effectually of the question of the
parentage of Lincoln, they do not. of
course, clear up. the shadow which
hangs over the parentage of his
mother. Is there anything to show
that Nancy Hanks herself was of as
clear and clean lineage as ner hus-
band? There had been nothing what
ever until, few years ago, through
the efforts of Mrs. Caroline Hanks
Hitchcock, of Cambridge, Mass, who
mad in preparation the genealogy of
the Hanks family in America. a little
vo.ume was published. showing what
she had established in regard to
Nancy Hanks. Mrs. Hitchcock had
begun at the far end of the line--the
arrival of one Benjamin Hanks in
Massachusetts in 1893. q
She discovered that one of his sons
William, moved to Virginia, and that
in the latter part of the eighteenth
century mis- children formed in
Amelia county of that state large
settlement. All the records of these
families she found in the Hall of
Records in Richmond When the mi
grafton into Kentucky began, late in
the century, it was Joined by many
members of the Hanks settlement in
Amelia county. Among others to go
was Joseph Hanks with his wife,
Nancy Shipley Hanks. and their chill
dren. Mrs. Hitchcock traced this
Joseph Hanks, by means of land rec
ords, to Nelson county, Kentucky,
where. she found that he died in
1913, leaving behind viii. which
she discovered in the records of
Bardstown, KY This will shows
that at the time of his death Joseph
Hanks had eight living children, to
whom ne bequeathed his property.
The youngest of these was my
daughter Nancy" as the will puts it..
Mrs. Hitchcock's first query, on
reading this will was; Can It be
that this little girl-she was but nine
years old when her father Died
lis the Nancy Hanks who sixteen years
Halter became the mother of Abraham
lLincoln?" She determined to find
out. she learned from relations and
friends of the family of Jo-eph Hanks
|lstill living that. soon after her faith
er's death, Nancy went to live with
an uncle, Richard Berry. who, the
|lrecords showed. had come from Vir-
| ginia to Kentucky at the same time
|lthat Joseph Hanks came. A little
further research, and Mrs. Hitchcock
found that there had been brought
Ito light through the efforts of friends
of Abraham Lincoln an the docu-
ments to show that in 1906 Nancy

married at Beechland. KY Now
