ing the oldest hunter In Windsor he
was the oldest person to cast a bal

Chicago, Dec. 21.-Coy Purnell,
son of Benjamin Purnell, head Of

has been arrested on complaint of
two sisters, Augusta and Helena

against the House OF David, as a re-

riage was negotiated on a lottery
plan. In the early days marriage
was supposed to be prohibited at the
colony, but recently Benjamin had a
message" telling him that marriage
for the more nearly perfect of the
sect was permitted, so forty couples
were assigned for matrimony. The
girls and men were led into different
rooms and instructed to write on
slips of paper the names Of their
mates The Halliday girl didn't get
the right man, as two girls wanted
him. In such cases the couples were
matched without any special regard
for love. The woman protested,
and as a result letter from Coy
Purnell was published in Benton
Harbor newspaper which reflected |
on the character OF the Halliday girl,
and she brings suit against Purnell |
for $3.50 for defamation. Follow
ing Purnell's arrest it was found he |
was unable to read or write. and the |
say he is the scape goat of |
his father, Benjamin. Purnell says
the women were driven from the col
ony and accuses their father with
improper conduct.

who said he was Robert Breckin-

Breckenridge, of Kentucky, Saturday
walked into the office of Secretary
of State Lewis c. Stevenson, and
declared that he was the man who
disappeared twenty-three years ago
while going to Europe in a ship
that was wrecked. Mr.. Stevenson
said he identified the man as Breck-
inridge, his youthfu1 friend, and
disclosed the story of a soldier of
fortune told by the man. Breckin-
ridges parents died in the belief
that their son drowned when the
ship went down in May, 1891. The
man told Secretary Stevenson a
marvellous story of travel and ad-
venture that circled the world. He
said that he had fought with the al
lies during the Boxer troubles in
China, with the Beers in Africa, and
with the Federals in Mexico. He
told of gold mines owned in Africa,
fortunes made and lost in Australia,
and of business reverses that had
made him a Mexican mercenary SOL

return tonight. Upon his arrival

sixty-seven good men and true of
Bradford county were lately arrest

this district on the charge of selling
whiskey, and were before the United

though considerable dissatisfaction
was felt among them for arrest
without cause, and expenses in
Cured that many of them could not
we'll afford, they were In part con-
soled by the fact that on arrival the
court would take no notice of them
as strangers and they were told to
go wherever they blame pleased as
far as Uncle San was concerned.
Only two, Joe and Ernest Souther-
land, were honored with some sort
of a hearing. They were brought
before the grand jury on the charge
of making whiskey. They had
brought their apparatus along in a
gunny sack, they pleaded guilty
and showed the jurors how they
made their booze. For some reason,
probably because the process ap-
peared too slow to some Of the jlr-
Ors, both were discharged, even
without the warning to not do so
any more.
