near Tower , Minn , yesterday. Fraker's life
was Insured for $58,000 and the heirs brought
suit In the Kansas courts to recover. The
case went to lie supreme court and was one
of time most famous insurance cases of the
century. The Insurance companies were defeated -
feated In the final decision , tt being recorded
last month. . p
I was always malntalnql by the companies -
panics that Fraker was alive , but hIs where-
abouts were unknown. Recently It becaue
known In some way that Fraker was near
Tower , where ho was known under the alas
of Schnell. Attorney Rolrt T. Herrlclt and
Deputy Sheriff Wilkinson of Topeka came
hero and organized a party to search for him.
Fraker was found In tile woods and his cap-
tore was effected In a strategic manner. lie
was brought to Duluth today and taken to
Topeka at once
f'rkerl go without a requisition. lie
had been living near Tower for six months.
He admitted his identity and said he did
not leave home on purpose to defraud th
companies , but that while he was near the
Missouri river ho fell In. Ho swam across
the river and got on land The next day he
red In the papers that ho had baen drowned ,
and concluded to carry out the deception i
and allow his heirs to collect the Insurance. '
" alow arrived In Duluth today at 12:30 :
o'clock In charge of Deputy She :1 : Walker
anti Attorney hlerrick He admit his Inden-
tty and wi return to Kansas at once. The
case Is one of great general Intero3 because
of a reward of $20,000 which was offered for
his capture. Fr.ller Is a physlc'an and up to
the later part . of 18n was physician to the
Elmo hotel , tile leading hotel In Excistor !
Spririga a famous hotel resort near Kansas
City. Together with seven or eight com-
panons ! the doctor went fshIng on the 1ls-
sourl river one day and after dark and while

Triplet and Jake Crowley , a negro , ho disap-
peared and was seen no mere. Thee parties
afterward swore positively that they wit-
nessod his drownng ! whlo rowing In a leaky

not be recovered. SOme three or ( cur months
previous he began loading up with life lasur-

Life ef New York and $ SC00 In the benevolent
socetes ! of that p'ace , a total ot $58,000.
Immediately after his disappearance the
Insurane companies held a conference and
dIscovered that while the do tor's Income was
only about $1,800 a year his premiums
amounted to $1.000 annually. Besides this ,
George Harvey an(1 James Trip'ot who swore
to having witnessed Fraker's death , were men
of bad character Harvey being arrested only
the other day In easter 1Is30urt on a charge
of hiring committed burglary In New Mexico.
Triplet was a well known character tn Indian
territory and was said to have been drowned
a shert time ago.
Before goIng on his fishing excursion
Frke(1 ( had drawn all his money from the
bank. saying ho was about goIng to Call- i
fornla to bring home the orphan children
of his deceased unde.
Forty thousand of Insurance money was
payable to his brother-In-law In trust for
these children and Dr. Fraker , who ' tad
practiced medicine for eight years , was an
active leader In Sunday school work , but
hell rather peculiar views on religious subT
jects After a thorough investigation all the
companies except the Equitable refused to
pay the c'alms whereupon James E. Lincoln ,
the executor o t'le ' will . brought suit In the
district court at LIberty , Mo. . which was
afterward transferred to the United States
circuit court at Kansas City. Robert Herrick
was appointed jointly to conduct the case for
the companies and was assisted by eminent
legal talent. In the later part of 18H ! after
8n Intensely sensational trial lasting two
weeks In December , 1894 , the jury , acting un-
tier positive instructions from the court , declared -
dared for the defense.
A naw trIal was granted on technical points ,
but In February , 1895 , judgment was given
for the full amount , ant a stay of execu-
ton granted for six months until August 12.
1895. On that date the full amount was paid
to the executor and the companies withdrew
their offer of $20.000 reward. ,
Herrick obtained a clew In the latter part
of 1894 , which he has patiently followed
ever since until about a week ago he learned
the whereabouts and assumed name of the
docter. Thursday night he arrived tn
' Tower . together with John Wikinson , chief
of Police of Topeka. to assist In taking
Fraker back. They learned that Dr. Fraker
went by the name of Schnel and lived with
a young man In a woodsman's hut fifty miles
from Towr on the Iasc1 county road. A
warrant was secured In Tower and Sunday

over still rougher roads for the place , taking

time of the last report confirmed by Judge
Jenkins up to the present. Il is hell that
the receivers' acts are not valid and the
.OOOOOO receivers' certificates are valid lens
IS soon as conlrml by the courts. Dy the
decision the question of jurisdiction Is set
aside and the court here becomes the court
of primary jurisdiction.
The second part of Ives' application will
come up at the hearing of the order to show
cause ant the question as to whether the re-
cetvers have been lacking In the admtnlstra-
ton 'of the trust estate will be opened.
Judge Gilbert says : "The actual possession
of the property of the Insolvent corporation
by the first court , through the receivers , ts
extended no further , than the limit of. that
court's jurisdiction. The rights the receivers
are accorded In courts whose jurisdiction Is
exterior to that of initial proceedings have i
their basis In comity. Sl h1 comity rests I
upon the fact that another Qurt. Is In the
actual possession of a portion of'the property
which cannot b welt seggregaf d. and when
the best Interests of all concerned require to
be managed as a single syst m.
"Hero , however , It Is shown thal at the
time of filing this application to remove the
tmo
receivers there Is no IJrt at the railroad
line of the Northern Pacific company within
the jurisdiction of the court that first appointed -
pointed them , and that there Is in that dis-
net no personal property held in receivership .
All the property that remains to be disposed -
Al
posed of Is In other jurisdictions. I follows
POBI
from this state of facts that the court Is
powerle to make an order which affects
In any way the management or possession
of any property of the corporation. No fore-
closure sale of slid mortgage can be had
no possession to a purchaber can bo given
until the courts which have the actual pas-
unt
ression ! of said road shall consent thereto.
"In our judgment the rule of comiy which
has been invoked In opposition to the judg-
ment does not apply to such a case as this
The foundation of the rule Is tle ' recognition
of the rIght that exists In another jurisdic-
tion . I Is predicted upon the tat that an-
other has first taken and retained the pos- ]
session properly. Its reason consists In the
fact that the court of initiatory proceedings I
has In its possession and must' necessarily
admtntster a portion of property which a
wise policy declares must not be disin-
tegrated. That reason dqes not exist In this
case. Not only does It not exist but many ,
considerations lead ns to bel vo that a wiser ,
moro satisfactory management , at a railroad
may be obtained by a court which has jurisdiction -
diction ovpr at least some of the territory
wherein oVlr same ts situated. or where . some .
once of the company Is located.
"In his opinion Judge Hanford considers
as parts of one proposition the question of
remitting dues to Judge 'Jenkin ? court as the
court o ! primary jurisdiction amid of collateral
attack. The petition , he said , was a direct
proceeding and the assertion that for the
court here to take cognizance of the mater
as a collateral attack was untenable. Want
cf jurisdiction . apparent on the taco of the
records , was the ground on whIch the attack
was made , and on such grounds the right of
the parties to litigate was not precluded by
any decree of the court whose jurisdiction
was questioned. The real estate of the de-
fondant because immovable could not bo
brought within the jurisdiction of the 11-
waukee court , nor could jurisdiction be acquired -
quired by taking possession of such assets as
bonds or other securities or the cars mhrt-
Ing over tim other lInes and no consent of
parties could give to a court jurisdiction that
it I had neyer possessed "

The old firm was composed of the uncle and

TIme cause of ( lie assignment is threatened
suits for $30,000 by two banks and other
suits for smaller amounts by various eastern

County Judge Baxter spoke.
"It was just and proper , " said Jutigo flax- S
tee , " ( lint our legislature should , by an act ,
declare that the fIrst Monday in time month
of September 1mm each year shall be known as
'Labor Day' anti shall be theemned a pubiio
holiday. It was tut a fitting tribute to that
large class of fellow citizens , who cam-mi their
daily bread by tue sweat of their brows ,
and who rendered inmmortal services in the
war for our Independence , amid in time later
war in defense of our libertIes atd ; for the
