Paul, where he was engaged in the
mercantile business. About three
years ago he removed to Happy,
Texas, where his family still re-
sides.
Had Been in Kansas.
Previous to his going to Roches-
ter last Friday Mr.. Kurth had been
in Kansas buying apples, and then
came to Mankato Thursday. His
daughter, Mrs. Ed. Moore, of this
city was with him at the time of
his death.

ADVANTAGE WITH COLLIER
IN SAMARITAN CONTEST
HE WILL CONTINUE AS TREAS
URER OF ORDER UNTIL
COURT SETTLES CASE.

oliver +. Collier has won the first
in which IL is sought by the faction
dominated by John Christie to get
him out of the way, so far as having
anything to say as TO the conduct OF
the society's business affairs is con-
cerned. says the Duluth News-Trib-
une. Judge II A. Dancer yesterday
afternoon issued an order denying the
temporary injunction asked for in
suit filed i'm the name of the executive
board of the Modern Samaritans and
Collier hence has the right to sit at
the August meeting of the executive
council and all other meetings until
the permanent Injunction case is de-
cided.
The petitioners for a permanent in
junction claim that Collier has not
cen member of the board since the
second Tuesday in June and has no
right to attend the meetings of the
board or in any way interfere with its
affairs, but that despite that fact. he
has insisted on obtruding himself at
the boards meetings, and although re-
quested to leave. has refused TO do so.
and threatened to resist by physical
violence any attempt to remove him.
The petition also recites that he
threatens to take like action In the
August meeting and all other meet
ings of the board and that 1t Is i'm
possible for the board to transact any
business unless Collier is prevented
from interfering
Collier claims he is stlll a member
of the board and also the bona fide
treasurer of the order by reason OF
the fact that the alleged election of
his successor was illegal and that the
bylaws provide that he shall hold Of
flee till his successor has qualified.

statue is about two inches in length
and is made OF equal parts of gold,
silver and copper. and is of exquisite
workmanship.
Another image recovered TO which
attaches especial interest is the figure
of a man-god. the physical character
istics of which coincide with those OF
the mummied bodies. II also bears a
marked resemblance to the Egyptians.
The curved nose, running straight
from the forehead, eyes and thick
lips, are closely like the sculptured
heads which have been recovered OF
Tahutmes III, Princess Nefert and
of early Egyptian kings in limestone
at Karaak
These images, together with the
methods of embalming, the art OBJ
jects and household and industrial
implements. It Is believed, give strong
grounds for concluding that the civili-
cation OF the Egyptians Of the historic
period and the ancient Peruvlans came
from the same source, or that the
Egyptians got their civilization from
the Peruvians.
