DEAD Man VERY MUCH ALIVE

LEcTED POLICIES.
klmbaII Returned After Thirteen
Years and Insurance Com
panies Now Sue.

Larimore, N. D., Nov. Sin an eff.
fort to recover money paid on policy
carried by Glen R. Kimball when he
disappeared from his home in South
Dakota thirteen years ago the Ancient
Order of United Workmen served pa
pers on his wife, Mrs. Clara Kimball
of this place. The suit is for $4,000
and interest from 1896, or close to
$4,000. Another policy was carried by
the Pennsylvania Mutual Life Insur.
ance Company and suit may be en-
tered on it also.
Kimball left his wife and child in
their South Dakota home thirteen
years ago. Shortly after his disap-
pearance a dead man was found and
identified as Kimball. Until last sum
mer Kimball was mourned as dead,
bat one day he suddenly returned to
his wife, who is farming near Lari-
more.
Ever since returning, Kimball, who
is now in Oklahoma, has refused abso-
lutely to make any statement as to
his whereabouts, during his long alb
sence, not even telling his wife. With
his return insurance companies that
had paid over the policies carried on
his life at the time of his disappear
ance began an investigation with the
hope of recovering their money.
