Culbertson Will Fight.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, July 26.-It is
learned that Glover and Percy gilbert
son of ST. Paul will contest the will of
their grandfather, w. S. Culbertson of
New Albany, whose estate was worth
So, $780, 900.
The boys were owners of some fine
race horses and this caused their grand
father to leave them only 500 each.
They say the will is full of inconsistent
cies. Miss Blanche Culbertson, daugh-
ter of the first wife, is to have no share
In the estate if she marries within ten
years without the full and free consent
of her stepmother and brother Sam.
Suit will be brought in the September
term of court and the evidence will ex.
tend over the past twenty eight years
to show that falsity and undue in
fuence were exercised by the favored
Gees. One week after the death of her
father Miss Blanche was sent to Eu-
rope.

ROBBERS LYNCHED.

at Redding, Cal.
REpD1NG, Cal, July 26.-John D. and
Charles 2uggles, brothers, who robbed
the Retding stage near here several
weeks ago and killed Express Messen-
ger Montgomery and wounded the
driver and a passenger, were taken
from jail by about forty armed
and masked men at half past two
o'clock this morning and hanged. The
recent sentimental attitude of a num-
Der of women towards the prisoners, as
well as the line of defense adopted by
their three counsel, who have been
evidently endeavoring to implicate
Messenger Montgomery as party to
the crime, had been denounced by a
number of persons in the country, and
1t is believed the lynching was due to
these causes.

Bride and Groom.

Our word bride is derived from the
Anglo-Saxon verb ''bredan," to cherish,
while groom" or ''grom," is an old
Dutch word, which simply means a
young man, and is quite different from
the term applied to our equine domes-
tics, which either comes from the Persian

from the Anglo-Saxon word e uma" "a

But Payson Finds in Writing Another
View of the Case.
WASHINGTON, May S.-Captain J. D.
Rhodes, an attorney who was disbarred by
Commissioner Raum, was before the pen
sion inquiry committee yesterday. He
presented the correspondence between
himself and Commissioner Raum and said
that he believed he was disbarred because
OF a disagreement between Green B. Raum
Jr., over horse trade. Witness wanted
$175 for horse and young Raum wanted
to pay SIS cash and 800 worth of pension
Office influence in making claims special
Witness declined, and told Raum that he
was not then in the pension business Gen.
eral Raum disbarred him, saying that it
was because of many complaints Of vio-
lating the rules Of the bureau.
First Denies, Then Admits.
Judge Payson cross-examined the wit
ness and was evidently @loaded" for him.
The witness denied writing letter in
which certain uncomplimentarye epithsts
were applied to Commissioner Raum, but
when Judge Payson read the letter, wit
ness acknowledged its authorship with the
exception Of the word "old" as descriptive
Of Rsum. Witness said he meant it then,
endorses 1t now and never shall change
his opinion.
Lacks Something OF Consistency.
Judge Payson read letter written to
General Raum by witnessoand dated Dec
II, 1891, four days later than the former,
in which Rhodes says to the commissioner
that he shall do his duty now as a gentle
man and make an apology in truthful
mander. The letter further states that he
perused the commissioners letter to him,
and says that he could not help but feel
the tinge Of shame creep over his face
while perusing his own words quoted in
the letter: II spoke of you in very i'm
proper manner and swear it was uncall-
cd for. and if you will extend your sympa-
thies in my behalf to forgive me in my
impropriety, promise ,Iupon my honor as q
man, my reputation as soldier and my
standing as an attorney, to never be guilty
of like production while liven
Concludes to Stand by No. L.
Judge Payson put in evidence numerous
letters containing charges against Rhodes,
one from A. 7. Bovard which contagis Sc
rious charges, some of which were of a
| criminal character. Several letters from
officials recommending Rhodes disbar-
ment were read by Judge Payson and put
| in evidence. After a severe cross-examin-
alton the witness concluded his answers
to Judge Payson's questions. by saying
