KOvALEY DIEO WITH
GOOD FORTUNE UNKNOWN
Ticket and Money to Return Home
Awaiting him.

A ticket to Yonkers, New York, and
sufficient money to cover incidental
expenses for the trip, have been await
ing John Kovaley since April %, and
despite the utmost diligence of the
Southern Pacific officials they could
not find Kovaley to communicate to
him his good fortune.
MONDAY morning the lifeless body of
a man was found north of Peoria and
cIasped tight in the lifeless hands, and
pressed to the swollen blackened lips
was an empty canteen, mute evidence
of the awful fate that had befallen the
unfortunate Wanderer. There was
nothing but the name John KOvaley
scrubbed in a delapidated note book
found on the body by which it could
he identified. 1t is presumed that in
one of the last lucid intervals the man
had managed to scribble his name in
the book. When Sheriff Jeff Adams
saw the body he said that it answered
the description Of a man of the same
name who had been an inmate of the
county Jail about ten days previously,
and the name in the book correspondent
TO that entered on the register of that
institution.
The friends of Kovaley have been
communicated with by telegram and
the undertakers who have charge of
the BODY are awaiting instructions for
the final disposition of the body of the
unfortunate man.

First Test Case.
So far as can be learned this is
really the first test case that has
ever been brought in Minnesota to
test the right of Bible reading in
the public, schools. The supreme
court, it is understood, has never
passed on the matter. The issue is
does the reading of the Bible neces
sarily mean giving religious instruc
ton? An opinion was handed down
by Attorney General Child in which
he held that Bible reading in the
public schools was contrary to the
spirit of the state constitution.
