THE STORY WILL.
Interest at Chicago over the, Con-
test In the Courts.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, January 28.-The
contest over the will of Wilbur +.
story, which has been in progress in
the couItI at various times since his
death, has occasioned much interest
at the hearing of the appeal from de-
cision of the Probate Court, which has
been in progress in the Circuit Count
this week. Mr.. Story lei two wills,
one executed in February, 1881, which
Left the Times newspaper and nearly
all the remainder of his estate to his
widow. Another will, executed in
1879, was almost identical in lorna,
save that it contained a provision
preventing Mrs. Story from again mar
rying, otherwise the estate was to 60
to the blood heirs When the will OF
1881 was offered for probate, the three
witnesses to the instrument testified
that Mr.. Story was not responsible
person when 1t was executed. The
blood elatives-Mrs. Farrand, sister
OF the teetstor, and Aston Story, a
brother--also contested the probat-
ing OF the will on that ground.
The Probate Court refused to al
NIT the will of 1881 to pro.
bate. The widow thereupon Of
fered the 1879 will for probate. In
the meantime Mrs. Fsrrand took an
appeal from the decision Of the Pro-
b te CONT This was characterized
by the counsel for Mrs. Story as a
move to obs truct speedy settlement
of the estate. The attorneys for Mrs.
Story accepted the issue as to the in
sanity Of her husband, and to-day

CHICAGO, ILL, January 28.-An ex-

on the sensational, was witnessed TO-
night by large audience ct tde

there could be no choice, aud in skill
the Jap was t-ifle the superiot man.
The first fall WIS won by Lewis in ex-
actly NO minutes and one-haf. There
had been couple OF minutes prelimi-

The referee, without hesitation, de-

gave the fall to Sorakatchi. Both
wrestlers eyed each other wiCkedly,
and in the third Lewis lost no
time in getting his favorite neck hold,
and, pressing the Jap's neck until he
was too feeble to resist, Sorskstchi at
once declined to wrestle the remaining
bouts, declaring the choking process
unfair. Lewis Inen offered to leave it
out. The Jap feared to trust the Wis

APPROACHING INDIAN WAR.

Louis Riel's coal is marching on,
and the hardness and injustice Of
John Macdonald's government toward
him and the hali-breeds are produc-
ing q biltM result. An obstinate
Indian war appears ~ be approaching
in the Saskatchewan country, as the
Indian tribes there are combining to
resist the 'nroads made upon their
lands and hunting-grounds. The ex-
perience Of the Indians with the
Canadian militia that marched against
Riel has led them to form a very low
estimate Of militia Fighting qualities.
They believe tina. il Riel had pos
sessed sufficient supply OF snmuni-
ton the result OF the militia expedition
would have been very different. 1t is
considered probable that the Indians
Of the Northwest can put from 5000 10
5000 men on the raid they are organic
ing. Whether the Dominion govern
ment can put as many men in
the field is regarded as doubt
iul, as 1000 men, and they on
foot, were all that were OPP
posed to Riel and his followers
The country to be the scene Of contest
In, with small exception, in its native
wildness, and TO provide for an i'm.
portant invading force there would be
formidable undertaking. For their
part, the Indians are most at home
where the desolation is greatest.
They, amid those uncultivated regions,
are as the Arabs OF the Soudan are in
the desert. II Is true there is the
Canadian Pacific railway passing
through the country, but to stop
traffic upon this line would be one OF
the first things the Indians would &C.
complish. AZ the tribes on our own
territory in Minnesota, Nebraska and
Montana are In full sympathy with
the dlscontented tribes, and among
them the Canadian Indians would
seek refuge II defeated, we can
see that II is possible that our own ter
ritory is not without danger OF trouble
from me threatened incursion.
To the Indians the lines that
separate the American and Canadian
people are no lines at all. The
misfortune is that the settlers would
be liable to all the horrors Of massacre
and Indian cruelty. They have in
closed lands the Indiana regard as their
own, and their presence banishes the
buffalo and game upon which the In.
dams subsist. The proposed extent
OF the Indian operations indicate a
war OF an Importance much beyond
any that has occurred for from half a
century to a century back. The Do
minion government has done nothing
to break up the alliance among the
Indians. to satisfy claims, or to coun-
tsract the III feeling caused by its hai d
measures toward Riel and his follow
ere. An exchange paper says; "Nei-
Their diplomacy nor military prepare
lions has been resorted TO hitherto, yet
1t is evident that II the danger is as
real as represented, no time should be
lost in meeting It one way or the other,
The Indians have reached a stage at
which the old-fashioned gifts and
promises are quite useless. They do
not want reservations, nor allowances,
nor presents. They realize that white
civilization is too much for them, and
that they must retire before II but
being savages, they have no inclina-
tion to submit quietly"
