the Kimmel dual Identity insurance
case was discharged today In the fed
eral court after 1t had reported dis
agreement. The legal fight was over
the question OF whether A. j. White, q
prisoner in the Auburn, n. ", prison.
was George A. Kimmel, former cashier
OF the Arkansas City, Kan. bank. who
disappeared In 1893. The convict in
dispositions maintained he is Kimmel
but Kimmel's mother and sister denied
this. An insurance company intro
duced much evidence to prove the con
vict is Kimmel and that life insur
ance policies on Kimmel's life could
not be collected.

The splendid showing made yes

for the American team and neither one
of the air rivals will leave anything
undone to beat the other.

He had been brave man ana a good soldier, but he was about oo years of age and should have been Ill the chimney corner telling his beads for the last twenty years. He selected a camp in low, flat part of the city which could not have been fortified in six months. The earth is a hard packed clay. They were able to make breastworks about three feet high. The mutiny broke out; his pet native sol diers were the first to rebel against him. Of course they held the maga- zine, and he, his soldiers, women and children were in the little flat where the sepoys could shoot in on them as they liked. There was we'll near by and the sepoys centered their fire on 1t. One man carried water for all the camp for few days, but he was killed The death rate among the water carriers was fearful. But the English fought hopeless fight until their provisions gave out. Mana offered them trans portation down the river to Allahabad, if they would leave Cawnpore. The Mohammedan and Hindoo leaders both swore by their most sacred oaths that they would see them safely down the river: Cawnpore is pretty place; trees grow so thick that you can hardly see the houses. have seen few drives or walks more pretty than that from Wheeler's camp to the river. There are shade trees or woods on either side all the way, and near the river the banks on either side of the road are several feet high. They reached the Suti Chauri Chat, where they were to take the boats. When the boats were nearly filled, Tantia Tope gave orders to his soldiers, whom he had hidden in the woods, to fire on the men. They did so, and others set fire to the thatch covering the boats. A few men escaped down the river. but were captured, brought back and shot a few days after wards. General Wheeler had his head split open. am glad to say that he was against any surrender. They took the women and children back to Cawn- pore and imprisoned them in one building. Mana expected that the wo- men would become Hindoo mistresses rather than die, but he was mistaken. Each day he made two of the women come to his house and grind rice or corn, that being the most menial occu- patton he could find for them. They remained in the house three weeks, during which time about 30 died. Havelock with his armyswas approach ing Cawnpore. He had beaten Tantia Tope badly and would be in Cawnpore next day. When Mana heard of the defeat he ordered company of soldiers to kill the women and children. They refused although they had killed their own British officers. He sent for five butchers, gave them swords and sent them into the house. Some time after one of them came out and asked for a fresh sword, as he had broken his. A little later they began hauling bodies out of the house many dead, many yet living, all women and children about 200 altogether.
