That is a most extraordinary case at Chicago, where two families are claiming a young woman. It is not so surprising that her two alleged fathers, sisters, husband, pastor and friends identify her absolutely as diverse persons, but that two mothers should each claim her as their own is almost unprecendented. Photographs from both sides show a remarkable similarity, and it is of course a case of mistaken identity on one side or the other, with the chances largely in favor of the side which the young woman herself takes.

Silas Corson, said to be a stock buyer from near Decatur came to the fair Thursday. He met a convivial companion down town in the evening and had a few drinks. The friend, who said his name was Russell, noticed that Silas was getting pretty drunk and suggested to hiia that he turn a wad of monev, $5 in amount, which he carried, over to the “town marshal" for safe keeping until the next morning. Silas responded that he did not know the marsha l but Russell was accommodating enough to hunt up a man whom he said was the dignitary.
