DISCARDED DAUGHTER WINS
SUPREME COURT AWARDS FOR
TUNE TO MISSOURI WOMAN.
John Butler Had Abused His wife
and Ignored Child In Will-Cor-
test Restores Legal Rights.

jefferson City, Mar. 2.--Through an
opinion filed by the supreme court
Mrs. Lizzie Van Tine, formerly
of Paris, Mo-, is held to be the law
full daughter of John Butler, deceased.
He left an estate of $4,000 in per-
sonal property and 1000 acres OF
valuable land near Sturgeon, Mo. She
was awarded one-sixth of the estate.
A review Of this suit develops re-
markable facts, dating back before
the Civil war wife driven from
home by harsh treatment; daughter
born soon after; doubt as to the
paternity of the daughter, for many
years. and the mother finally disap-
pearing. John Butler and his wife
with four children settled in Boone
county in 1857. In 1853 Butter
treated his wife so badly that she
left him and never returned. She was
found near Sturgeon in a thicket OF
hazel brush and shelter given her un-
til the daughe~r was born. For some
time she worked among the neighbors
and made a living for herself and
daughter as best she could.
When the war broke out, Butler
sent the three other children to New
York and enlisted in the Union army
About this time Mrs. Butler and the
baby disappeared from Sturgeon. The
little girl was given a home with
Mrs. Wetmore of Paris, with whom
she lived as a daughter until sne
married.
Butler subsequently married, but
late in life. The daughter referred
to was not recognized in his will. The
latter contested the will

KANSAS TRAPpER SELLS LOAD
STORY SOUNDS LIKE TALE OF
ALASKA WINTER.
Drives Into Larned With Dog Team
and Sled Carrying ESQ Fnrs
to Market.

Larned, Kan, Mar. s. Mushing'
his dogs along frozen trail, Ben
Starr, the veteran trapper Of Pawnee
Creek, dashed into Larned with his
dog team and sledge on his annual
trip to market his furs and pelts.
That reads like it might have come
out of Alaska, but it happened right
here in Kansas. The great snow
made conditions in central and west
ern Kansas similar to those of Alaska
and Larned was suddenly transformed
into a Hudson bay trading post, which
Starr and his dogs and sled gave a
proper setting.
Two hundred and fifty furs were
In the sled load Hides of skunk,
mink, muskrat and badger, with a
few civet cats, and coons, made up
the cargo.
With the true spirit of frontiers
man, Ben starr, under contract to de-
liver his pelts by March 4, loaded
them on a homemade sledge and har-
messed his big coon dogs and started
on the trip, leaving his home near
Burdette at 1880 o'clock in the morn
ing. starr made the 24-mile drive to
Larned in just nine hours, arriving
with his strange team and cargo at

our practical troubles. He further
stated that compromises of the con-
stitution have caused the American
people nearly all their troubles, chief
of which was the worst war in the
history of the world, and that the
present unrest among our people Is
due to the fact that our constitution
makes party government practically
impossible.
AS a remedy for existing conditions,
Mr.. Beveridge suggested that certain
men be publicly named. by the presl-
dent to represent the various branch
es of the administration in the
House and Senate who would nave
charge in a definite way of all ad-
ministration measures and be defn-
itely responsible for all acts OF the
former senator further said that "h&S
cited this method not as the best or
even as a good way out of our gov
ernmental wilderness, but merely to
stimulate thought and suggestion. For
some way out of the dismal swamp
OF our present governmental condl-
ton must be found. The necessities
Of the people require 1t; and what
ever the necessities of the people real
ly require will be supplied. Nothing
in human events is so certain as
that.
"For the present nothing seems
possible to lessen the conflict be-
tween the constitution and the theory
of sarty government except for the
citizen to vote for party men. but to
see to it that such party men are
fearless, able and pure public ser
wants.
cat least one thing is clear even
now, both from the point Of view Of
securing party government as such
and protecting the people from the
spoilation. That thing is for all men
OF all parties to make unceasing war
against the political boss or politi-
cian-manager who manipulates and
controls party organizations. For
these men too often are merely the
hirelings Of those who gather unjust
wealth BY interfering with the peoe
pies laws"
