WAS LAST HEARD OF IN 1866
Newark Insurance Company Has $500
Ready to Pay and May Pay Much
Larger Amount if Facts Show That
Bissell Died before Policy Lapsed.

Do you know August L. Bissell or any
of his heirs? The man is supposed to
have lived in Kenosha way back in 1866
and he has been missing since that
time If Bissell died in 1866 there is a
small fortune awaiting his heirs.
Whether he died or not the Mutual Ben
eft Life Insurance Company of New
ark, New Jersey, has 5000 that it is
ready to distribute just as soon as the
heirs of the man can be located.
Bissell was man of some promi-
hence among lake sailors away back in
the days before the war. Judge Taylor
of the County Court, was appealed to
by officials of the company this morn
ing to aid in locating Bissell or his
heirs.
In 1854 Bissell bought $4,000 policy
in the company from Newark He made
two payments of premiums and then
disappeared. No claim was ever made
for the payment of the policy and no
evidence was ever given to the com
pany that Bissell was still alive. At
the time he made application for the
policy he gave his occupation as far
mer and his home as Kenosha Later
he is known to have lived in Chicago.
For twenty years the company has been
seeking Bissell or his heirs. IF Bissell
died just after he. made the payments
on his insurance policy and heirs can
/ mr. fo o4 Io4 oq
coming to them. The policy with the
interest would be worth pretty close to
ten thousand dollars.
The only information that the offic-
lals OF the company have been able to
get in regard to Bissell was secured
from sailor by the name of Green.
He asserted to officials of the company
that Bissell was in Kenosha in 1865
two years after the insurance policy
was written. Green declared that Bis
sell was a close personal friend of the
late Charles Hackley who one time lived
in Kenosha and who afterWard became
one of the wealthiest men in Michigan.
He died at Muskegon number Of years
ago after making gifts to that city
totaling hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars. According To Green Bissell and
Hackley were close personal friends but
an appeal to the members of the Hack
ley family has failed to bring any sol1-
ton of the possible whereabouts of Bis
sell or his heirs. The insurance policy
issued just after the war was made
payable to Mrs. Emma Bissell who was
the wife Of the missing man.
Judge Taylor has caused careful ex-
animation of the local records to be
made and he has found nothing to indi-
cate that the estate of August L. Bis
sell was ever probated in this county.
1t is possible that some of the pioneers
of the city will be able to furnish the
court with facts in regard to the Bissell
heirs. The Insurance company has ex-
pressed willingness to forward 5000 Just
as soon as heirs are found.
Old directories of the city show that
Mrs. Emma Bissell formerly resided
at No. 473 Durkee Avenue. She was
the mother of Mrs. Samuel Reynolds. It
is possible that she is the wife of the
man sought.

.SLEUTHS GO TO DEs MONIES
Reward of $500 for Return of Diamonds
Stolen Here May Be Collected AS a
Result of Woman and Two Men
In Des Moines Few Days Ago.

Kenosha police officers and Pinkerton
detectives are hopeful that the mystery
which surrounded the bold robbery of
the JeWelry store Of T. j. Dale in this
city month ago when two men and
a woman secured diamonds to the value
LOT $500 is nearing solution and today
Plnkerton detectives are speeding to
Des MONIES, Iowa, to take a look at
Mrs. Edna Theranck Huzzleton of Dan
vile, ILL.,, bride of a few weeks, who
IS held there as an expert jewel thief.
In Jail with her are Walter johnson
and Raymond FRANKIE and they are
charged with being members of a dar-
ing gang Of jewel robbers that has con
Quoted operations Of a nation wide
scale Pawn tickets for three thousand
dollars worth of diamonds were found
in the possession of the men and they
carried diamonds on their person to the
value of more than a thousand dollars
at the time of their arrest. The pawn
tickets showed that jewelry was pawn
ed in Chicago, Indianapolis and st.
Louis during the past few weeks. Tom
Huzzleton, the husband of the woman
and the. supposed leader of the gang
jumped from a second story and es-
capped when the Des Moines police made
raid on the house in which the PEG
pie had been living. The men under
arrest declared that Huzzleton took
with him several valuable Jewels when
he escaped. Mrs. Huzzleton, who is
declared to be a very attractive look
ing woman, declared that she had no
idea of the nature of her husband IS
operations but that she considered him
wealthy. Pinkertons in Chicago were
given facts in regard to the arrest of
the jewel thieves on Wednesday morn
ing and later in the day notice of the
arrest was received by Chief of Police
O'Hare in this city. The detectives
who went to Des Moines today took
with them finger prints left on cut
glass vases in the Dale store at the time
of the robbery and also good descrip-
tions of the man and the woman who
were alleged to have been connected
with the big robbery here.
- am not going to Des Moines I'M
IT, after / hear from The Pinkertons, "
said T. ]. Dale this morning. 3The
arrest of these people may prove i'm
portant in rounding up the gang who
worked in the store here. We want to
find out what there is there to identify
and if there is any reason to believe
that the jewels were taken from this
store, I will go out and identify them4''
Detectives who nave been in charge
of the search for the Dale diamonds
have been spurred on to action by
offers of rewards totalling 100000. A
reward cf a hundred dollars was offer
ed on the day after the robbery and
since that time $500 has been added.
Chief of Police O'Hare declared to-
day that he was very hopeful that the
arrests made at Des Moines would
solve the Kenosha robbery mystery and
he believed it possible that the jewels
found on the men under arrest may be
some of the ones taken from the Dale
store

voters will decide tomorrow whether

having voted I'm favor of municipas

vides that the purchase price shall
be determined by the six circuit
judges OF this county after the cleo
tion is held, and that the price named
shall bo paid to the company out Of
the earnings of the lines during a
certain number of years. There has

arrangement but provides a way TO
