contested by bis widow and son--Gershom,
in behalf of themselves and the child of de-
ceased daughter Of the testator. The latteris
Miss Ida Bray, daughter of Mr.. Stacy B.
Bray, Of this city 1t appears that the
property Ia this suit amounts to about S4S, 900
or $4,000. The will leaves Gershom, the
son, SIS, 600, and leaves the widow only the
interest of 81, 900 during her widowhood, aud
at her marriage or decease, the principal goes
to the two Sous, Henry and General james F.
Rushing. The deceased had but one daughter
having ISSUE and that issue girl now about
sixteen-Miss Ida Bray. The interest OF
$4,000 is left to her. the principal to 60 to
Henry and James F., or their heirs, at her
death. The residue of the estate is left to
Henry and Gen. James F Rushing.
The grounds upon which the will is contest
ed are incapacity and undue influence.
Quite an array of lawyers is employed
Messrs Barker Gummere. Woodbury. D..
Holt, James S. Aitkin and Mercer BeasIsy.
Jr., for the executors and proponents of the
will; and Messrs. A. G Richey. G A. Collins

A REAL MAN.

Zone time ago-never mind
xnefe-two sprightly and beautiful
Young ladies we're visiting their
cousin, another sprightly and beau
uful young lady. who. like her
guests. was of that happy age that
turns everything into fun. All three
seFe fond Of practical jokes, and
ware constantly pranking with each
other. All three occupied a room
On the ground floor.
Two of the young ladies attend
cd party on a certain fatal night,
and did not get home until 11:3O
O'Clock. They did not wish to
disturb the household, and SO they
wentto their room through the low
open window. But it seems that
about half an honr. after they had
LETT for the party a young Methodist
minister called, was given a nights
lodging, and was put in the best
room, and the young lady who didn't
80 to the party was to sit up aud
inform the absent ones of the change
OF rooms. But alas, sleep overcame
her.
On the return of the young ladies
they were able to descry, as they
struggled through the curtains of
the window, the outlines of their
cousin. as they supposed, ensconc-
ed in the middle of the bed. They
saw more-a pair of masculine
boots. The truth flashed upon them
their cousin had set the boots in
theroom to give them a good scare
Thinking thus, they resolved to turn
the tables on her. Silently and
stealthily as cats they disrobed and
jumped into bed, one on each eide
Of the unconscious parson, laugh
ing and screaming, 20, what a man!
o, what q man. and gave him such
q hugging tussle as few parsons
are able to brag Of. The noise
awakened~the old lady, who, com
pretending the situation. came
rushing in. exclaiming, Gracious
sakes, gals, it is q man-sure
enough" There was one prolonged
and consolidated scream, a fash of
muslin through the door, and all
was over.
But the best of the joke was that
the minister took it all in earn
est, and would listen to neither
apology or excuse. from the old
lady, but solemnly folded his off,
cial robes about him and silently
stole away. Query-whom vas he
mad ct?

My musing on the ages of change
that it must have taken to mould
the scene to its present aspect, were
broken in upon by a large rattle
snake gliding out on a bare rock
within fifty feet of the point where
| was sitting. He seemed to search
around like dog for a place to suit
his snakeship, and then stretched
himself out to enjoy the wormth.
l was thinking if it was worth
while to heave stone at the mon
ster when big shadow swept down
and a hawk nearly caught him nap
ping, but not quite. The snake
sprung his rattle and coiled himself
ready for attack, while the hawk
lowered around, making dash now
on the right and now on the left.
1t was quite an interesting skirmish,
but at last the snake made spring
bnt apparently failed to strike, and
before he could recoil himself the
hawk seized him with both talons
hclose behiud the head. In fact he
had him by the neck, and swept in
to the air, while!the snake struggled
and twisted, away up into the blue
sky in wide circling sweeps, until
the struggling reptile hung limp and
lifeless, when the hawk came down
to earth again, and alighting on
neighboring tree, made his meal on
the snake.-Arizona Globe Ctronicl e
