WHENCE CAME THE WILL?
Startling Development in the Fight for a
Montana Estate.

Startling Development in the Fight for q
Montana Estate.
HELENA, Mont, July 25.-Something
Of sensation has developed in the
fight of the heirs for the millions left by
A. J. Davis, of Butte. Attorney John
Forbes announced in court that q will
of the dead millionaire had been
found When Davis died the opin-
ion was universal thu. he
had left will, as be was careful, con-
scientious man, and he had often said
mat when he died there would be no
chance for contest over his fortune.
The most diligent search, however,
failed to bring one to light, and the heirs
IN various sections began to file their
claims. The chief claimants are John
A. Davis, of Chicago, and H. A. Root, of
New York, the former the brother and
the latter the nephew of the millionaire.
Both of these men wanted to administer
the estate, and the first cross
lag of swords occurred III the district
court of Silver Bow County. Five mill
ion dollars was the estate, and the best
legal talent IN the state was engaged, as
well as attorneys from the outside,
among the latter being Judge Meyers,
of New York, and Judge Woolwortn, of
Omaha. The case has gone through the
preliminary stages, and has been
appealed to the supreme court.
The will found and submitted is dated
July 20, 1866, and gives to Thomas
Jefferson Davis and Pet Davis, and her
mother, Miss Bridget, all three of Van
Buren, County, Iowa, a lifetime main
tenance. 1t gives to the brother
of the deceased, John A. Davis, the re-
version or remainder Of the property.
1t is witnessed by ]. c. Sconce, James
Davis and Job Davis Mr.. Root is non
committal as to what he thinks of the
will or his future action. Certain it is
he will not give up without desperate
struggle, in which he will be joined by
all the other heirs left ont by this will.

ONLY A LOVERS QUARREL.
Why Mrs. Leslie and the Marquis de Leu
vile Separated SO Suddenly.

Why Mrs. Leslie and the Marquis de Leu
vile Separated so Suddenly.
LONDON, July 24.-E'This is only low
ers' quarrel. Of course, if Mrs. Leslie
says we are not engaged and never
have been I cannot, as gentleman, de-
nv it. But never mind; love will pre-
vail, aha - Thus remarked the
MARQUIS de Leuville to reporter
who found him in wine vault off the
strand sampling 1880 pommery sec with
Freeman Thomas and a contingent of
admiring satellites. The nobleman
needed shave, hair cut and better
hat, but he wore golden bangle about
his manly wrist, and scintillated in the
region Of the cravat with all the known
gems.
Registrar Frank Hearne says that
Mrs. Leslie and the Marquis de Leu
vile called upon him on the evening of
Thursday, July 10, and took out a mar
riage license. Mrs. Leslie was to sail
for America on Saturday, and
she desired to have the ceremo-
ny performed on Friday. Registrar
Hearne said he informed her that one
whole day must elapse between the is
suance of the license and the ceremony.
Mrs. Leslie then said that she would be
compelled to leave London at 8 O'Clock
on Saturday morning to catch the City
of Rome, and that she must then be
married early Saturday morning
AT the vestry office in Mount Street,
Grosvenor Square, it was learned that
Mrs. Leslie and the Marquis de Leu
vile filed notice of an intention
of marriage on August 10, 1889. De
Leuvilie described himself as evil
liam Rene Oliver de Lorncourt,
Marquis de Leuville, bachelor,
aged A; residence, SO Victoria
Street." Mrs. Leslie was recorded
as widow, 50 years of age;
residence, Grosvenor Hotel" On July
10. 1890, another record of an intention
of marriage on the part of the Marquis
de Leuville and Mrs. Leslie was found.
Here De Leuville described himself as
civilian Oliver, Marquis de Leuville,"
and gave his age as 43 years, younger
than in 1889. Mrs. Leslie's record was
the same as in August, 1889. She still
remained SO years of age, according to
the record, but her residence was the
Burlington Hotel.

GENERAL WAR PREDICTED.
Serious Trouble Likely to Result From
the Central Am eric an Disturbances

Serious Trouble Likely to Result From
the Central American Disturbances.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July %. = The
Mexican government, aroused by hos
tilities between Salvador and Guate-
mala, has issued orders to double the
number Of troops at Chiapaz, on the
frontier. At the Mexican legation no
information can be secured; Minister
Romero is as non-communicahve as an
oyster. The Mexican troops have been
hurried to the front, ostensibly, it is
said, to protect the citizens of that ma
ton who have temporary residence
in Guatemala.
Guatemala and Mexicohave ever been
bitter enemies. Mexico fears that if
Barlllos' government secures the fed
Grafton of the five Central American
Republics combination will be formed
which at some time or other will ques-
ton her right to remain outside
OF 1t. 1t is, therefore, essential to the
Republic that that government should
keep the smaller nations cutting one
another's Threats, and as far away from
unity as possible. Whether Mexico
will see fit to become Salvador's ally re-
mains to be seen.
Minister Romero received orders from
his government to remain here in the
anticipation of the return of DR.. Cruz,
the Guatemalan minister. AS soon as
Dr.. Cruz returns, he will, it is under
stood, find dispatches from his govern
ment, directing him to appeal to the
United States to interfere, and see that
Mexico maintains neutral attitude in
the struggle.
If Nicaragua and Costa RIGA join with
Salvador, as they certainly will as soon
as the Honduras army appears in the
field, in all probability, no less than six
republics will be engaged in bloody
war. If Mexico interferes and tells
Guatemala to keep her hands off Saliva
government is doomed. Of course, it
cannot be said what the United States
will do. Her policy, it is assumed, will
be to let the republics fight it out.

crew and cattlemen from the National
Line steamer Egypt, Capt. Sumner, from
New York, July 10, for Liverpool, be-
fore reported abandoned on fire at sea,

this morning. She signaled that she
would land the people from the Egypt

The Manhattan sighted the Egypt in
in full blaze, but being laden with oil,
dared not go near the burning vessel.
She lowered her boats, however, and
saved all on board the Egypt. Capt.
Robinson, of the Manhattan, who for
merly sailed in the National Line, in
formed the rescued officers that he had
only enough provisions for forty per-
sons, and discussion was had as
Azores, 250 miles distant. 1t was finally
decided W proceed for Dover, and ev-
eryone was placed on short rations.
There were $40 head of cattle on the
Egypt, and all were either burned to
death or broke loose, and plunging
overheard, were drowned. For a time
there was much confusion on the Egypt,
but no panic occurred.
The National Company chartered a
tug at Dover to meet the Manhattan
and supply her with provisions She
started at s o'clock this evening with a
full supply of provisions and other
necessaries for the rescued people.

that the town was temporarily quiet.
A dispatch received here from Buenos
Ayres states that the leaders of the
revolutionary movement belonged in
that city. They were incensed that the
best posts under the government were
given to men from the Province of
Cordova. The dispatch further says
that Senior Roseca will probably resume
