have filed a petition in the county

of the Stephens estate. The petition
ers alleged that Cove, W. Scott Beebe,
Gove's attorney, II. II. Boyce and
John A. Carr, the latter who sprang
into little notoriety here of late in
connection with the Tacoma heir,
Richard Walker, are conspiring to
circumvent the wishes of the deceased
with reference to the disposal of the
property he left her, and for this pur-
pose they are said to have prevailed
upon Elizabeth McCalla, daughter Of
deceased, alleged to be of weak mind,
to permit them to use her name for
the purpose of securing the appoint
ment of Cove as administrator. Cove
denies all charges.
