WILL OF D. A.. RICHARDSON
Ii Presents to the Court Peculiar Phases
That Are Seldom Net With.
The Will Was Drawn in ~1S73-Clerk Sweeney
Explains-AnOther PetitiOn--Sued for Lii.
bal-0ther Matters in the Courts.

The will of Daniel A. Richardson, which
was executed Nov. 5, 1873, was probated in
open court yesterday. BY the provisions
of the will his wife,, Sarah A. Richardson.
Is to receive SIS. COO in lieu of her statutory
rights; his.sister, Mary H. Rinkley. is to re-
ceive 5000 ard his brother, Elias II. Rich
ardson, 10 to receive the balance of the
estate. after paying the Indebtedness and
expenses of setting the estate. His broth
er, who is named as executor, died a num-
Der of years ago. The situation oc-
casioned by the death of the broth
er. who was made residuary legatee,
presents a peculiar phase to the
court. There is O question as to the DIS
tribution of that portion of the estate left
to the brother. which is by far the bulk Of
the property. If it is held that as to this
particular portion of the estate the ~testator
died intestste it will 60 into the general
estate and be distributed to his legal heirs
according to the law of descents in this
State. The law is unfavOrable to the
Iapsing of q legacy. but in cases where the
legacy was to a collateral heir. as in this
case, such is the course. Richardson was
reputed to be worth about $500. 900, bnt the
exact value of hisestare Is as vet unknown.

Clerk Sweeney Explains.

Just as the office of the Clerk of the SUI
preme Court was closing Saturday night.
according TO Mr.. Sweeney's statement, At
torney-general Smith walked in with a pc.
tition for q rehearing In the registration
case. Shortly before the election this law
was declared unconstitutIOnnl because 1t
was class legislation and affected a dis
franchisement of citizens of Indiana in q
destructive way. The last horr for fling
the petition for q rehearing was II
o'clock midnight Saturday. and the petit.
tion was flied just In time. MIR. Sweeney
says that the fact of the filing escaped his
memory. and the failure of earlier an
nouncement of the fact is thus accounted
for. The averments of error In the petition
are that the act was not essentially a regis
trarion act. but was aimed to subject gov
eminent employees who never come home
from Washington except to vote to reqnla-
lions which would assist election officers
to know who is entitled to vote.

Tins face they measured over eight
inches In diameter Two feet ~ Tins
tnsks were cut two years ago. Six years
ago they We're trimmed for the first
time. Tip had got mad at something,
and in his rage he plunged at the side Of
the timex, heavily bolted house and shat
tered one tusk.
The other had to be cut for this rea-
son. In the past three years they have
grown Il foot and half. Snyder is the
only man who can handle the animal.
He put Tips martingale on as usual and
chained his head as low as possible.
Then he donble-hoppled the auimal or
chained his feet, gave him an extra
amount OF bran mash and hay TO put
MN IN good humor, and went TO work

Zip felt the grating Of the steel and
became nervous. He tugged ut his chains
as III he would rip every link apart. As
this proved futile he backed against the
wall aud shocked the whole building.
Snyder only laughed Tip heard the
chuckle and waxed wrothy. He trum-
peted, snorted, reared and plunged,
struck sideways at the little man beside
him, but soon found that he was power
less rs a baby. 1t took Snyder Just an
hour.
While that capture was going on the
hyenas We're having little circus of
their own across the house. Father and
mother hyena have been separated for
some time. An interesting event is ex-
pected soon. The old gentleman gets
lonesome once in while, and unless he
can brace Mrs. Hyenu through the bars
he gets very angry. He had one of these
fits Friday and the director opened the
door between the cages TO give them a
chance TO rub noses Hyenas are pecu-
liar. Their method of showing their
affection is also peculiar. Unless they
can imprint bloody kiss upon the nose
or face their love-making is in vain.
As soon as the door was opened the male
hycna caught his wife's nose between
his teeth aud ripped II open. She made
no cutlery. but when he came up for
second kiss She imprinted one upon his
ear which reminded him of old times.
Now the pair are nursing n couple of
sore wounds which will heal slowly.
The female hyena finds il quite difficult
to feed on this account, hut she appears
to be proud Of the brand of her hus-
bands affection.
