shortly afterward mis- wife identified

hand. Nothing more was heard of him
until he appeared at her home near
Larimore giving evidence Of having
gone through considerable hardship.
ing his past life. settlement was had
with the insurance companies which
immediately brought suit to recover
for money paid to Idrs. Kimba1I at the
time she identified the body OF the un-
known man as that OF her husband.
Kimball lived some time at the home
OF his wife. but she steadily refused to
receive him back an her husband The
elimination of the whole affair was q
divorce proceeding through mutual
conEent.
The record OF Glenn RImbaIls life
during the fifteen years is closed

ance is still a mystery. Various the
cries were advanced two years ago as.
to why Kimbali disappeared from
Deadwood, the generally accepted the
ory being that he was bounded out
OF the state. Developments since that
time, however, have pointed to a.
more simple theory, simply that he
grew tired Of his family life and skip
