Man in Lawrence Combines Bootleg
ging and Life Insurance Business.

Lawrence, Kan, April 2O.-Many
queer attempts have been made to
evade the laws against liquor selling
in Lawrence, but it remained for
Hiram E. Hancher, of Kansas City to
cloak the Illicit sale of booze under
the guise of a hustling business to
write life insurance policies. Mr..
Hancher. who was arrested for boot
logging by Sheriff w J. Cummings
Saturday night, is now in the county
Jail and it may be some time before
he can either write life insurance or
issue death insurance in pint and half
pint bottles.
Representing himself as the agent
of the Bankers Reserve Life Insur-
ance company of Omaha, Mr.. Hancher
breezed into Lawrence about Tuesday
of this week. He is 80 years old, well
dressed and looked the part he was
playing. He registered at a local hotel
and made 2 judicious display of ex-
pectancy tables and the like and easily
passed for what he represented him
self to be.

FOUGHT TO DEATH OVER PIG
Possession Of Porker the Cause Of
5 Sharp skirmlsh Between Ger. =
mans and French.

Even pigs figure sometimes in the
news from the front and, as might be
expected, in somewhat ofsa comical
light. But. says. a Paris dispatch. they
have causedHa tragedy also. One pig
was the cause of a battle in which 80
Germans were killed and another was
made to pos5 as a corpse to save him
from the enemy.
In Ban-dc-SapE north of Saint Die,
both French and Germans from their
trenches s9iad out a fine fat parker in
a pen, just between the two lines. Both
formed parties to go out and capture
the porcine delicacy. but the French
reached there first. They fastened a
rope about the animals hind legs and
dragged him back to their trenches
with the Germans close behind
So heated did the controversy over
the pig become that 1t finally de.
veloped into a night battle in which
the Germans were beaten, losing. be-
sides the 80 dead. a number of
wounded
The other pig had just been killed
by farmer in Flanders when it was
reported that the Germans. always
eager for such titbits as fresh pork,
were near at hand. Determined to
save his property, the quick-witted Bel
gian took the carcass to his room,
tucked II in his bed, placed candles
over the sheeted form and was pray,

entered the room. The soldier tip
