Ecuador.
The visit Of President Montt OF
Chill to President Taft and the call Of

Arizaga, 1t is understood, paved the
way for negotiations in which this
country may take leading part. The
friendliness of Chilli and Ecuador may
be counted upon to aid and the talk
President Mont had with Mr.. Taft
confirmed the hope of officials of the

THREE WIDOWS

Death Of Bieamlst Sees His Wives
Come to an AnIcabe Agree

Affairs.
CHILDREN ACQUAINTED
Endless Law Suit is sldetracked by
the Women All Being Salts
fled With Their
Share.

PITTSBURG, Pa. Aug. with
the death of James Kilgore, civil war
veteran and mechanician, came the
first knowledge that he had three
wives living all within few miles
of each other-and that children of
the first and third wives had been
acquainted for several years without
knowledge of relationship existing
between them.
Kilgore died possessed of property,
and with insurance, which was col
lected by wife No. g. Today the wo-
men, who each supposed she was the
only Mrs. James Kilgore, met, and in
an amicable arrangement, divided the
estate and insurance money. Two Of
his wives lived in Pittsburg. The
third lived at Johnstown, Pa.
The exposure of the complicated
domestic affairs of Kilgore came
through information of his death, re-
ceived from the United States Pen
sion Department by wife No. i, who,
| for number of years had received
one-third of the pension money OF
/ her husband, although not knowing
| where he was living.
Then his first wife started an In
vestigation, which disclosed the fact
that Kilgore had been living at
Johnstown and was married to anoth.
i er woman, who had collected his In
surance money, and was ready to ad
minister his estate. A suit was
threatened when wife No. 2 stepped
in and made her claim, and by the
advice of attorneys, who saw IN end
4 less litigation, the three women
agreed to division of the estate.
Z. Some years ago kilgore left wife
No. / while they were living In Pitts
4 burg. He married a beautiful young
Pittsburg girl, and with remarkable
boldness, set her up in home only
short distance from his former
home where his first. wife was still
living. Several months afterward:
he was sent to the penitentiary fol
two years on charge of bigamy.
Upon his release neither of hi.
wives heard of him. He remained IL
Pittsburg, and met the girl he made
wife No. who was then is years
old. She was employed in clerica
capacity in a Pittsburg hotel.
In each of his matrimonial ven
lures Kilgore was extremely careful
to observe all the requirements o
a the law-was as careful as If 1t wa
his first venture-and all the womel
have properly executed certificates.
