Wife Number One Claims Share
of husbands Estate.
John Fralich Deserted Her and
Took Another Woman.
WOMAN is REMARKED
But She Had Heard of His
Death Seven Years Ago.
Now Seeks to Show Identity and
Break the Will.

medicine Lodge, Kan, March TO-
There promises to be litigation in the
estate OF the late John Fralich, a trifie
/ on the sensational order. An attorney
from Columbus, Kan. w. H. Lucas, has
been in the city for several days ae-
quainting himself with the records in
the probate judges Office and getting
what other information he could find
regarding the Fralich possessions. Mr.
Lucas claimed to be representing a
woman who says she was Mr.. Fralich's
,s Wlle; she asserts that she had not
AFed With him for many years but had
never been divorced although she is
al present the wife of another man.
She now claims share of the estate
Inc Womans present name is Nc
Dflue ana she lives in eastern Kansas.
she asserts that she was married the
second time seven years after Mr. Fra
llch deserted her and was led to be-
heNe tnat he was dead at that time
ana qln not learn of the true state of
affalrs until few weeks ago She
says she was married to Mr. Fralich
IN eastern Kansas in 1873 and year
"aIter " thelr marriage son was born to
Ihem The son was drowned in the
Neosho river in 1888. The story of Mr.
Franch'S abandonment of the wife and
child is substantially as follows: About
two years after marriage they went
east to visit with relatives in Pennsyl-
Vania- When they had completed their
visit and We're ready to return to Kan
sas, Mr.. Fralfch bought her a ticket
and assisted her and the child on the
train, explaining that on account of
business matters awaiting him else
where, 1t was necessary for him to take
dlHerent route home and he would
arrive at their Kansas home a few
days later than she would. That was
the last she heard of him until seven
years later when she was informed
that he was dead. If this is a true
story 1t would probably clear her from
the charge of bigafny.
This is news to the people here 1t
had been generally supposed that Mr..
Fralich was either a bachelor or a wild
over when he married Laura Clark at
this place number of years ago. If
the claims of wife No. can be estab-
lished, however, it will make a very
complicated case and the lawyers will
have many fine points of law to sift out
of the legal ashheap.

ing the Columbus attorney in looking
after wife no. 1s-interests.

addition to these, he hopes to secure
one or two players from some of the
big league teams. He is negotiating
with Clarke Griffith of the Cincin-
natl Reds, Frank Chance of the Cubs
and with the ST. Louis Nationals. Pa
refused to divuIge who his new man
is until he has his name tackled on
to an Omaha contract
Several of the players on the
Omaha team are holding back their
contracts for one reason or another.
Pa says he is not having any serious
difficulty with any of the players and
thinks they will all be in line by the
time their transportation is sent to
them. Some want little more money
and some want some other minor
matters fixed up, but Manager Bill
says they are not nearly as OBJ
streperous as they were last spring.

A Woman's Paper in China.

OF the many signs of progress in
China. one of the most interesting is
the editing and publishing of a daily
newspaper by a woman named Mrs.
Chang, a native of Peking After
marriage to a Chinese official she
spent several years in Central China
where she learned much about the
condition of the people; and subse-
quently, upon the death of her hus-
band, returned once more to her ma
tive city in North China. Meanwhile
Mrs. Tang's mind had become intent
on the progress of her country and
she courageously decided to start a
daily newspaper for women called the
Peking Woman's News, which, on its
own lines, is said to be without a
rival in the whole world-Dundee Ad-

last night in the following dispatch:
although Clyde Williams has signed

'sWilliams stated before he was sold
to Denver that he was aVerSe to play

best of the semi professional players
in Des Moines and the adjoining cities

semi-professional team, under MS

DID NOT FALL FROM TRAIN.
Yeggnlan injured by Explosion OF
NitrO-G -Glycerine.

Fort Scott, Kan, March 10.-It has
been learned that CLYDE King, the
stranger who was found in badly in
jured condition near the north junction
Wednesday had not been injured by
falling from train as was at first re-
ported, but had been the victim of an
explosion of nitroglycerine he was man
ufacturing to be used in blowing safes.
Positive evidence was found, and King
will be held for an investigation, as it
is now thought that he and a partner
who was with him at the time of the
accident, have been responsible for some
of the safe robberies that have occurred
near here recently. The story told by
King yesterday of the way he received
his injuries sounded unreasonable, and
made revealing the true state of affairs
When first found King stated that
he had fallen from a freight train.

End Comes to Notorious Woman Con-
Vict at Lansing.
Leavenworth, Kan, March 10.-Mrs.
back, one of the most notorious wom-
en- prisoners in the Kansas peniten-
tiary, died of pneumonia in her cell
late Tuesday. She was 70 years old
and had been in feeble health for some
time. Mrs. Staffieback begged to be
permitted to die outside the prison.
The prison officials told her they could
do nothing and the physician said it
would not be safe to move her
Chaplain MeBain, the prison minis
ter, spent part of the day with her. She
told him she was innocent of the
crimes she was convicted of. Mrs.
StafHeback was brought to the peni-
tent1ary in May, 1895. TO serve a twen-
ty-one years sentence for murder in
the second degree. At the same time
two of her sons were brought in under
life sentences, a third son to serve
seven years and Charles Wilson, her
second husband, to serve twenty-five
years.
The Stahleback lived near Galena,
KAN, and were accused OF numerous
and atrocious murders. They ran a
murdered guests who had money and
threw the bodies into a deserted mine.
A number of skeletons were found on
the premises by searching parties.
The Staff1backs are generally rank
ed next to the BenderS in notorious
Kansas murders.
A number of attempts had been
made to free Mrs. Staff1eback because
of her extreme age.

GOOD WORD FOR ART GRIGGs.
Topeka Boy Will Be Retained by St
Louis Browns

Dallas, Tex, March 1o.-Though
McAIeer' has not stated his policy in
regard to the formation of his team,
it would seem that the release of Pat
tersen of Pueblo, who had come we'll
recommended both as a first and sec
ond baSeman, defines his ideas in this
respect fairly well.
First, it eliminated the only con-
tender Tom Jones had for duty on the
initial sack, and, as this position had
been the only point under contention,
the inheld will line up the same as
last year.
Yeager, who was let go, was last
years utility man. Griggs, the former
San Antonio second haseman, is the
only new infielder retained by Nc
Aleer.
AS McAleer has stated that he
would rest his regulars during differ
ent periods of the season, it would be
too much of a risk to depend entirely
upon a youngster for the role of first
utility man. Therefore the logical
conclusion is that Hartzel will be re-
tanned for the berth.
If this should be the case 1T Sits
the outfield problem somewhat.
Schweitzer, Hoffman. McAleese and
Crum are the available candidates.
