A SINGULAR WILL CASE.
How an Immense Estate was Lost by a slip o


The st. Louis Times of a recent date says
AN interesting suit was filed yesterday in the
circuit Court, by Sarah j. Howell against the
Home of the Friendless and William q. jane
son, executor of the estate of William II. Bell,
IN which she states that she is a sister of the
late Major William IL. Bell and that about the
year 1924 and during the life of her brother she
married Or. William Howell, who died in 1850.
She is now widow 60 years old. Her brother
at the time of his death and for long time pre-
vious resided in this city. He was veteran
officer of the United States army, and was
seventy-tEo years old when he died.
For some time previous to his
death he was very in1irm, both in pind and
body. On the 9th of November 1865, he made
will. The complanants claim that he was
then, and for long time previous, of sound and
disposing mind; that in the will he lett to
Mrs. Powell lone undivided fourth ofthe balance
of his estate of every kind whatever" that his
estate was worth not less than $25O,OO aud
that his debts, etc, did not exceed $500. On
the 8th of December, 1865, he made a codicl,
giving to Michael Welbey 5000, and on the
18th of the same month, in another codicil, he
vised one-half to the Home of the Friendless.
The next day he bequeathed to Andrew Auer
$1,000. On the 18th of December, in still another
eodicil, he directed that the leasehold, of
Olive and Fourth streets, should remain as then
for two years from the date of his death, when
it was to be sold. The will was admitted to
probate on the 9TH of January, 1866, and Will
liam c. Jameson was appointed executor.
Plaintiff claims that she is the person described
in the will. as the doctor had no sister named
Sarah Powell: that the person who wrote or
drafted the will and codicil by clerical mis-
take wrote Sarah Powell instead of Sarah j.
Howell. 1t is further charged that he was not
of sound mind when he made the codicl of
December Il. and an opening up of the matters
in the estate is therefore asked for.

rioting.
Oct. 27.-The latest details of the
Los Angeles horror are worse than a,
first. The mob appears to have beer
actuated solely by animosity Of the
race and a desire to plumber. Wit
nesses before the coroner's jury are
giving testimony with apparent reluct-
ance, under fear of retaliation. The
testimony duplicates two Irishmen as
having boosted that they had assisted
in killing the Chinese. The Cinnamon
who shot Officer Belderian were ar
rested and turned over to the authori-
ties by the Chinese themselves, and
are now in Jail. Only four of the ri
oters have been arrested. From s14,
600 to $4,000 in money, and all the
valuables belonging to the Chinese,
were carried of by the mob. Those
arrested were robbed on the way to
Jail.
