A PLEA THAT DEATH
 BE LEGALLY DlSSIPATFD
1t Hangs Like a Cloud on Certain South Side Property.

A petition was filed in district court
 yesterday Tor an adjudication of death. on December IS a young man by the name of F.. w. Stewart, living on the south side, left home and from that moment he was never seen or heard from. He was physically weak. and believed to be mentally unsound. [ Inquiry having been made for him without result. in short time it be-
 came quite certain that he was dead. [ But. in the absence of definite knowl- 1 edge of his death, he could not be de- | Ciared dead for seven years, and when
 that time had passed. his estate went | into probate court where it was ad- 1 jgdicated
 ! IT. was distributed to his parents 1 James w. Stewart and Maria w. Stew art James ". Stewart has since died i leaving as his heirs and entitled to his ' half of the estate his son, four daugh- ' tcrs Minnie E. Stewart. May :. Stew { art. Irene Stewart and Ada Stewart Notwithstanding the distribution of the estate of E. w. Stewart by the { probate court. there was no order or | other action in relation to the formal { declaration of his death and the court
 is asked to adjudge him to be dead. , In the action which was begun yes teTday. the mother and four daughters are the plaintiffs and E. w. Stewart and his unknown heirs are the defend ants
 By coincidence, within ten minutes O the filing of this suit, another was
 brought, in which the parties were also named Stewart. This is an action in divorce. The plaintiff is Harriet
 S Stewart and the defendant John w. stewart. They are residents of the southside. They were married in In dianapo.is twenty-six years ago and have a large family all of the children but one having come of age. The prin-
 cipal ground on which the suit is i based is that the defendant Is a rag
 chewer, a habitual and persistent
 scold, with d tendency toward vio- lence.
 on one occasion it is alleged that a
 doctor who had been called on the ill.,
 ness of a member of the family. left
 the gate open and though no damage
 resulted. that furnished the defendant theme for upbraiding for days. At another time calf chewed cotton wood tree and MT. Stewart chewed the episode for week or more
 Under his constant scolding the
 plaintiffs health gave way and sine was obliged to lounge about to get scme physical rest to make up for the
 mental rest of which she had been deprived. That expedient only> stirred the defendant to greater endeavors in
 the way of fault finding. Finally. the plaintiff was forced to leave home and reside with married daughter. Some
 tune after she had been there. she re- celVed letter from her husband saying that if she would return he would sell all the property and make ar equal division of the proceeds. She came back. but the husband. instead of carrVins out his agreement. resumed ms rag chewing. and mixed personal violence with it. It. twas then that the project for divorce began to take form.

 The Lake Superior company which is at present employing thirty-five men. has over three-fourths of a mile of tunnel work completed. Fred w. Hoar of Tombstone. a practical min ing man is expected daily to take charge of the work.

The ability to move about in tht

CHAPTER XIV,
The Rescue of Miss Spencer.

The Rescue of Miss Spencer.
While Hampton fingered between
life and death, assiduously waited
upon by both Nadia and Mrs. Guffy,
Brant nursed his burns, far more Sc
rious than he had at first supposed,
within the sanctity of his tent Glen
caid meanwhile recovered from it's
mania of lynch law, and even began
exhibiting some faint evidences Of
shame over what was so plainly a
mistake. And the populace were also
beginning to exhibit no small degree
Of interest in the weighty matters
which concerned the discriminating
love affairs of Miss Spencer.
Almost from her earliest arrival the
extensive cattle and mining interests
Of the neighborhood became aggres-
sively arrayed against each other; and
now, as the fierce personal rivalry be-
tween MesSrs. Moffat and Mcneil
grew more intense, the breach per
ceptibly widened. While the infatua-
ton of Rev. Mr.. Wynkoop for this
same fascinating young lady was
plainly to be seen, his chances in the
race were not seriously regarded by
the more active partisans upon either
side.
The regular patrons Of the Miners
Retreat we're backing Mr.. Moffat to
man, while those claiming headQuar-
tiers at the Occidental were equally
ardent in their support of the pros
poets of Mr.. Mcneil. 1t must be con-
fessed that Miss Spencer flirted out
rageously and enjoyed life as she
never had done in the effete east.
The Rev. Mr.. Wynkoop always felt
serenely confident Of an uninterrupted
welcome upon Sunday evenings after
service, while the other nights of the
week were evenly apportioned be-
tween the two more ardent aspirants.
On Monday. Wednesday and Friday
evenings the Miners Retreat was a
scene of wild hilarity, for it was then
that MI Moffat was known to be COM
fortably seated in the Herndon parlor,
relating gruesome tales of wild noun

of his fair and entranced listener. Then

the fair Phoebe to state that she was,
as her aunt expressed it, in a dread

picturesque and typical knights Of

laboring in this state of indecision

tramped heavily into the Miners Re

over into q deserted corner of the bar
room.

pectantly. "hev We rally got the cinch

Long Pete nodded.

good fellers who kin keep their mouths

she's comm home from school. I'll

Lumley gazed at his companion with
eyes expressive Of admiration. by

"Sure!" Moffats face exhibited a

1T wouldn't be no great shucks of a

the real thing. Only, l reckon, ye bet,
ter shoot high, so thar won't be nc
