OF the Council.
At last nights council meeting Mayor
Ames communicated that he had appointed
John Neuman to the police force, vice

pOintment was confirmed. The ordinance
prohibiting piling lumber and wood in Oak
Lake addition was brought up, and a
protest against its passage, made by Hall

read and referred to the alder
men of the Fourth ward. The

A CLAIM OF FRAUD.
The Recent will of Martin Laymau
TO be Contested,

There is now every prospect of spirited
contest over the will of the late Martin Lay
man, filed in the probate office some time
ago, the principals being Mrs. Layman and
Mr.. Layman'S daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Haley.
In the probate court Mrs. Haley filed papers
yesterday protesting against the allowing
of the WILL for the following reasons:
First-That Martin Layman at the time the
will was executed was not of sound mind and
was mentally incapable of making any will,
or disposing of his property in any manner
or form whatever. Second-That he was in
duced TO sign the alleged will by fraud and
undue influence was used upon him while in
an epfeebled state of mind by one Blecken and
his wife Eta, one Van Valkenberg and his
wife Anna, or of some one or all of them.
Third-That the alleged instrument is not the
will of the said Martin Layman, because of
his enfeebled mind and mental incapacity to
make Il will and because Of fraud and undue
influence used upon Mr.. Layman in procur-
ing the execution of the alleged instrument.
And in conclusion Mrs. Haley asks that the
estate be administered, so far as she is con-
cerned. as though there was no will.

William Window, the chairman and big

his handkerchief, said:

of ten years ago Few vessel. have
been built and our shipping has been
subject not only TO natural deteriora-
ton from age and use. but a deprecia-
ton still more marked, because of uu-
remunerative employment.
Our ship owners are growing dis
eouraged and complain that in addition
to the other burdens which they are
obliged to bear, their taxes are dispro-
portionate and onerous, and that in the
assessment thereof the great change in
vessel property values has not been
fully recognized by the assessors.
For the last thirteen years we have
had business relations with the vessel
owners of Ellsworth and have been in
a position to closely observe the value
and prosperity of our shipping. and we
have no hesitancy in expressing the
opinion that the depreciation ia vessel
property has been very great indeed
-much greater, we think, than has
been realized by the public. In the
valuation of our vessels and in the
