for herself and two sons.
The oldest son became a successful
business man. The younger son,
George *. Rogers, was employed by
fraternal order as a lecturer.
A few years ago Rogers. in the
course of his lecture tour, stopped in
Hlawatha, the old home Of his par
ents. There to his surprise he was
told that his father had lived for
many years at Liberal. Mo-, and had
died there only a short time before.
Further investigations of this story

Liberal was really his father and led
to the institution OF the suit by his
mother in Kansas.

somewhere in tire Northwest and with
whom he lived 40 years. She has one
daughter. Mrs. II. r. Branson.

LAMAR, Mo-. Nov. 1O.--Was J. X.
Bclk money lender ana influential
citizen of Liberal, in this county, the
same J. X. Belk, who so years ago
was believed to have been killed by
Indians in the West?
Did the J. X. Belk of Liberal con-
coct a story Of his death in order to
abandon his wife and two small chill
dron and then return TO Missouri to
marry again, amass a small fortune
and live the life of a small town busi-
ness man for 10 years?
Or is the J. X. Belk. who died at
Liberal five years ago, leaving an es-
tate OF $4,000, really different
man?
These and many othor perpleXing
problems will have to be. settled by
the courts in the suit Of Mrs. Olive
Rodgers, So years old. OF Hiawatha,
Kas., who says she married a man
named Eolli 60 years ago and who is
seeking to obtain the estate Of the
Liberal man for herself and her two
sons. This suit ls now pending in the
district court Of Brown county, Kas.,
Of which Hiawatha is the county seat.
Suit Goes Back to Frontier Days
The suit will bring 20 light tales Of
the wild frontier days of the North
west. the Indian fights. the hard strug-
giles Of a widow with two infant sons,
the model life OF financier in a small
inland Missouri town, his rise to
wealth and affluence, and the fight
for his estate between two women,
both OF whom claim they are his
widow.
The remarkable story was revealed
here by George X. Rogers, Sc years
old who was accompanied to Lamar
by his aged mother in an effort to
trace the life Of Belk, who. he claims,
is his father and to secure evidence
to substantiate the suit Of his mother
in her fight for the estate.
The story told by Rogers is as fol-
lows:
About GO years ago ]. X. Belk mar
ried a girl at Hiawatha, Kas. Two
sons were born to them. Timcs were
hard and they moved to California.
Belk left his wife and babies there
and went into Idaho, seeking work.
lie wrote to his wife frequently and
in one letter ha told her that he had
secured a job driving stage coach.
Letters were received at frequent in
tervals in which Balk told OF his job
and his hope that he would soon be
able to send for his little family.
Then one day the pOstmaE brought
| sad news. 1t was from a man named
Brown, who said he was a fellow stage
driver of Belk. lie told tale Of a
wild fight with the Indians, how he
held off the savages for while with
his rifle. but how he finally was un-
| able to withstand their attacks and
the stage was captured. Belk being
killed.
