was exhumed Monday morning. The
work was done under the personal di
rection Of W. H. Mackey, Jr., United
States marshal for Kansas, and un
der the order Of the United States cir
cult court.
Mr.. Mackey brought with him the
laborers and machinists to do the
work. Everything was planned Out
in detail before the first shovel full
Of dirt was thrown. The men reached
Topeka at o'clock Sunday night
The trustees of the estate were mott
fed that the grave would be opened
at daylight Monday morning and that
1t was the wish Of the United States
marshal that some representative oil
the estate should be present.
The members Of the party were at
the grave shortly after 5 o'clock
Monday morning. The grave was
opened In a little more than an hour
and the machinists began cutting the
rivets Of the steel, burglar proof vault
which contained the casket. The cas-.
ket was opened at 9 o'clock.
At the time OF the funeral the body
OIL. H. Perkin was placed in a
wooden casket. This casket was then
placed In the steel vault and the lid
riveted down so 1t was air tight.
T. q. Griesa and Alfred Whitman,
two Of the trustees Of the Perkins es-
tate, were present and watched the
work Of the machinists closely as the
vault was being opened. 1t was not
a hard Job. The undertaken who had
charge of the funeral was present and
explained the stel case to the work

that the mon were able to cut the
rivets quickly. A guard was main.
tanned about the grave and no one
was allowed in that section Of the
cemetery.
When the casket was taken from
the vault, Mr., Lescher, the under
taker, removed the lid. The body
was found to be in an excellent state
Of preservation. The body remained
by the grave until afternoon. 1t was
u2der guard all the time. About .
o'clock the body was brought to Law
renee. 1t was taken to undertaking
rooms where the pathological exami-
nation was made during the after
noon.
The court ordered the body ex-
humed at the request Of the Mutual
Life Insurance company.
At the time of his death Mr.. Per
kins carried a policy in the Mutual
for 100000 and the company has re-
fused to pay 1t on the ground that
Perkins death was the result Of pol
son taken with, suicidal intent previ-
GUS to going upon the roof, and was
not the result of an accidental fall
from the roof.
The trustees Of the estate have sued
to collect the amount of the policy
and the company will attempt to
prove by analysis the presence Of
poison. Attorneys for the estate will
appeal from the order Of Judge Nc
Pherson and attempt to keep the re-
port Of the physicians from being used
as evidence.

HUNTING LIFE TOO STRENUOUS
FOR ALDERMAN BOYLE

Alderman L. P. Boyle came home
Saturday night from a hunting and
camping trip over in the Crystal river
country, where he went early last
week with Ben Halsted, G. v. Hodgiu,
c. c. Smith and other friends. The
experience was rather too strenuous
for Mr.. Boyle and he decided that
the comforts OF home were worth
more to him than all the game he
could possibly kill. He says they
were camped at the junction of Cry
stal and Avalanche creeks, about
twenty-five miles south of Glenwood
Springs, and that there Is plenty of
game in the neighborhood. Fishing
is also good in the streams and they
had no difficulty in keeping their lar
der supplied with trout, some of them
Of large size.
There are evidences OF deer every
where on the upper slopes Of the
mountains, the snow thus far this
season being insufficient to drive them
down into the valleys. There are
also some bear and elk in that section,
as the country is a very wild one.
Mr.. Boyle expresses the opinion that
the other members Of the party will
have no difficulty in getting all the
deer they are entitled to under the

it is entirely closed. deafness is the
result. and unless the Inflammation is
