tate, but conclusively clears the mys-
terry OF her family relationship.
Evidence taken In court revealed
that Mrs. Vantine was the daughter
OF Jane Gordon, Buffers fret wife,
whom he married shortly before the
Civil war. When they had three
children. Butler, in At OF anger,

was afraid to return TO her husband,
too proud TO go to her own people,
and wandered about making a living
for her baby and herself as best she
could, taking shelter for a time with
an army camp. at which time the
baby became the pet OF the regi'
ment."
She gave the child TO Mr.. and Mrs.
f. T. Wetmore, OF Paris, No, who
adopted IL. In the meantime, her
husband had left his other children
with relatives and Joined the army
When he returned after the war he
could find no trace OF his wife, and
married again without obtaining a
divorce. This was one OF the points
on which his will was broken. for II
was shown that at that time his first
wife was living at Charleston, Mo.
where she died In 1892.
The second wife lived only a few
years. leaving three children. Butler
married again. He divorced his third
wife and made the fourth venture
this time marrying Roman Cath
Ollie, who succeeded In converting
him to her faith. Religion had been
one OF his chief differences with his
f,rst wife. for he was an extreme
Protestant and she was a deyout
Catholic.
II Is said that In his old age Butler
made a long search for his first wife
and child. but could find no trace OF
them. He died In 1905, leaving 5000
acres OF land and a large amount OF
money.

Joe TURNER BEATS
GREEK OPPONENT
SECURES TWO OUT OF THREE
FALLS FROM JOHN
KILtONIS.
BOTH IN CONDITION
TOE HOLD BARRED AFTER LOCAL
BoY FORCES VISITOR TO
GIVE UP In SECOND
ROUND.

Although outweighed by his oppon-
emit. Joe Turner, holder OF the Police
Gazette belt for the middleweight
championship of the world, duplicated
his previous feats by pinnng the
shoulders Of John Kilonis, the Greek
Thunderbolt." to the floor two out OF
three times last night in the Academy
Of Music.
The Greek drew first blood by plac-
ing Turner'S shoulders to tho floor with
double leg Nelson hold after wrest-
ling twenty-eight minutes. This fall
was secured by Kilons after q clever
exhibition Of wrestling. 1t appeared az
OF tho local boy was about to throw his
opponent when the latter suddenly
worked his way out OF the tight place
and, quick as q flash. wrapped his leg
about Turner and pressed both
shoulders against tho floor within
about ten seconds. 1t was one Of the
most clever pieces OF work seen around
these parts since the wrestling game
made its debut here.
The second round went a few min
utes longer than the previous one, and
finally ended when Joe secured an un-
breakable toe-hold on the Greek.
Writing in pain, the latter was forced
to give up and allow the fall to be
awarded to Turner. After this, how
ever, the hold was eliminated.
The third and final fall was secured
by Turner after q bit more than twenty
minutes OF fast and furious crap
ping.
Both men were n their usual con-
dition and furnished a good exhibition
Of wrestling.
