Washington, Feb. VICTORIES by
Chinese government troops over the
rebels operating near Suichowfu and
arrival of additional government forces
to cope with the situation in Yunnan
were announced in despatch from the
Picking foreign Office today to the
Chinese legation here. The dispatch
says:
The government troops have routed

are now assigned TO work of preserving
order in that locality.

coInp3 ssing movement has begun.
Upon seeing the approach of gov
eminent troops a thousand disbanded

dations at Paotauchen and its neigh
boring villages have fled. leaving be-

The sudden death of John Kilbourn,
a commercial traveller of Mexico. N. Y,
at the Hotel Chickering in this city,
May 23rd last, was brought to mind
again Thursday and Friday when law
yers representing KiIbourn's heirs and
two insurance companies were in the
city taking dispositions to be used in
a civil action in the courts Of New
York state.
The last heard of the case was in
August, when word was received here
that Kilbourn's body had been exhum-
ed and an abrasion found on his head
denoting death from other than
natural causes. 1t was also stated at
that time that his jewelry and money
had not reached his relatives and foul
play was limited at. The matter of
the jewelry was cleared UP by Land
lord Hart of the hotel who stated that
he had kept it for the board bill of the
relatives to whom he had forwarded it
and held the express company's re-
ceipt thereafter About the same
time investigators of the two insurance
companies where Kilbourn had acct
dent policies came to Putnam and COL
lected such evidence as to the cause OF
his death as they could get. The cor
oner's report showed that death was
due to heart disease and intemperance,
with a note that an abrasion was found
near the bridge of the nose, probably
received when Kilbourn fell, striking
his head on the marble slab surround
ing a faucet where, it is supposed, Kill
bourn went for drink of water.
Kilbourn had two accident insur-
ance policies, one in the Travellers of
Hartford for $1,000 and one in the
Travellers of Utica, N. Y, for $4,000.
The heirs claim that Kilbourn's death
was due to a fall and not to natural
causes and it is claimed that when the
body was exhumed a fracture of the
skull was discovered. The insurance
companies raise the question of fact,
claiming that death was due to heart
disease and not to an accident; also
that the thirty day notice was not

was attached a length of baby ribbon
and each young lady was requested to
pull a rose, to which was attached a
heart bearing the initials OF Miss Bar

were released a shower of confetti
shimmered down over the happy party
and there were best wishes and con-
gratulations from everyone ovAr the
announcement Of the engagement of
the two very happy principals, upon

SHARES SUBSCRIBED 21s.
In Newly Organized Building and Loan
misunderstanding Citizens on
List.

Up to Friday afternoon 21S shares
had been subscribed for in Putnam's
newly organized Building and Loan
association. From 800 to 500 shares
may be subscribed for in the first
series, admission to which is limited
to SaturGEy of next week. The sec
ond series of shares will be issued in
about six months. No great effort will
be made to urge as many as can be
secured to take shares in the first
series, for it has been the experience
of building and loan associations that
it is much better to start with a linn
tied number in the first series and get
an increase in the second and follow
ing series than to make big splurge
at first and fall down later
The list of subscribers is very graft
flying to those interested in the asso-
citation. The list includes the names
OF members of substantial citizens. As
the association progresses there is
every reason to believe that many
more will come in.
First payments of installments are
to be made next week. The certificates
to be issued are to be of January, 1916,
so next weeks payment will be for the
mCEth of January. The February
payment and all monthly payments
hereafted are to be made on the fourth
Tuesday of each month
The committee in charge of the work
is making the incidental arrangements
forthe starting of business by the as
ISOLATION and will promptly have ev-
erytliing in working order.
Just when loans will begin is not
certain at this time, but it is not prob
able thai there will be much activity
until the spring season is nearer at
hand. There seems no reason to
doubt that many applications will be
received from borrowers and that all

that he did not use Intoxicating liquor.
TIC this the plaintiff replies that
the policies were in the hands of third
parties and were not discovered until
after the expiration of the thirty days

statement regarding the use of liquor

1t is understood that eight witness

here and dispositions taken. The case

NEW BLACKMAIL
GANG is SEIZED
"Wealthy Eastern Manufacturer" Is
Victom of Chicago Band, Say the
Federal Officers.

Chicago.-Alleged blackmailers of
man described as a wealthy east
ern manufacturer" were taken into
custody by federal agents in raid
on an apartment house Saturday.
The prisoners were two men and a
woman. Elaborate opium-smoking
outfits and a large quantity of habit
forming drugs were seized in the raid,
the federal agents said.
Those taken into custody are R.
H. Golden, who said he was a real
estate agent; Mrs. Grace Golden, his
wife, and John e. Lawrence, said to
be a travelling salesman. Federal Of
ficers are holding a number of let
ters written by a wealthy Cedar Rap
ids Qowa) merchant to two Chicago
girls. The merchant claims the girls
lured him to an apartment and, with
the aid of confederates, forced him
to pay $4,000. Attorneys for the
girls claim the letters prove that the
Iowan wronged the girls and made
payment as a recompense.
