John Bauman, an express driver, forty

at one time so critical that Coroner Pars-

Mrs. Bertha Ruth. massive, middle

Baunan's wife is in Germany on q
visit, and during her abb

hold. Yesterday morning Bauman dis
covered that Mrs. Ruth had attached
clothes line to his window. Knowing
Mrs. Ruth's quarrelsome disposition,
Bauman did not speak to her about it, but
meeting Ruth in the hallway told him
that he would have to remove the clothes
line. Ruth said it was none OF his busi-
ness. Angry words passed between the
men. Mrs. Ruth heard Them and
came running into the hall. She
would attend to Bauman. Bauman re-
fused to have anything to do with her.

M'ELnvNL's WILL
1t Is Nuncupative and VIII Attract Legal
Attention from Its Rarity.

1t Is Nuncupative and VIII Attract Legal
Attention from Its Rarity.
Counsellor Thomas f. Noonan today
filed the petition Of Francis McElhone to
have the nuncupative will of his brother,
the late Bernard McElhone, probated.
In the history OF the Orphans
Court in this county no nuncupative will
has ever been probated. A nuncupative
will Is will made by word of mouth,
hot reduced to writing. 1t requires three
witnesses to it, who must also
appear to prove the will. 1t
differs from a will in writing in the re
spect that but two witnesses to the latter
necessary to prove it. Only one such
case has ever been begun in the Orphans
Court here, and that WAS not successful.
So rare is this proceeding that Corbin's
Forms and Dickinson's Probate Practice
give no precedent to follow, and there is
none in the records of the Court.
From the papers filed with the Surro-
gate it appears that just before Bernard
McElhone or St. PauPs avenue died, ne
declared In the presence of mis- brother,
Charles McElhone, William Burke and
James Foley that he bequeathed to bis
brother Charles all his property. This
amounts to more than $1,000. After re-
citing a quantity of legal verbage the
petition asks that the win be probated.
The Surrogate Immediately issued cita-
tions to the dead mans widow, his
mother and brothers, to appear Septem-
