two wills we're offered for probate, each
purporting to be her last viii and tesla
ment. The first one lied bore date JAN

Il dIxided between my grandchildren. ar'
point Mrs Marie l.. Evans my testanenthry
executrix and detainer OF my entire estate
without bond
This document appears to DC IN the
handwriting Of Mrs. Gaines, and y ac-
companied by letter dated Washington,
| last August, in which the deceased writes
Mrs. Evans, offering her one-third 81 ner
estate and appointing her executriN ana
dctaincr without bond.
The other will Is filed by William H..
Wilder. an old friend Of the deceased,
Il and James Il. UllrttliArs " Nv 81 st&"- >s's

The other requests are as follows;
