Court by Mrs. Olmstead. asking for an ac-
counting by her mother of her management of
Mr.. Hutchinson's estate, Mr.. Davis said
that while it was perhaps painful
thing to do, it was a necessary one. Mrs
Hutchinson, contended Mr.. Davis, had depos-
tied 800 900 in a local bank. and lost il when
the bank failed. When she died Mrs. Olmstead
left Ter husband the legacy Of q law suit
against her mother and sister, and 1t seemed
that it was a most natural thing that she should,
under such circumstances, fail to name either
in her will.
fuence could not be inferred, and he felt con-
fdent that his motion, to take the case from
the jury, would be granted
JUDGE COLES DECISION
In announcing his decision Judge Cole said
the question was, had there been sufficient
evidence submitted by the caveator to
warrant Q verdict on any one Of the four
issues in the case. And that question, in the
present case, was very rice one
Undue influence, said tie MARYLAND court
Of appeals, might be shown by number
of circumstances, although any single one of
them might prove nothing. The District
latter court, in the Mclean will case,
had held that where motion was
made to take the case from the Jury, il WAS the
duty of the court to ask itself was the evidence
submitted such as might cause any reasonable
mind to conclude that undue infiu-
ence had been exercised. That was
the question presented on the motion here, and
one which he had anticipated, because he felt
sure il would sooner or later arise. Without
going into the details Of the case and
without. giving an elaborate opinion
in the matter, he felt that he was justified in
denying the motion Of the caveatee, and would
therefore allow the case TO 60 on, leaving to
the Jury the decision in the matter of the issue
presented for trial
Mr.: Davis noted an exception TO his ruling
and the court at I2:l0 took recess until las.

WORLDS FAIR RATES.

Chicago, May 31.-After waiting
all day for the Burlington and
Rock Island to arrange their private
troubles, the Atchison late this
afternoon announced its rates of
$3.50 round-trip between Denver
and Chicago, and $3.50 round
trip from Missouri river points, to
De put into effect tomorrow morning.
Unless another string is attached
to this notice it will have a tendancy
to knock the bottom out of Worlds
fair rates from all over the west.
The great question troubling the
roads is: If they lower the rates
on account of the Worlds fair, how
are they going to get them back
again after the fair is over?

Helena, Mont, May 3O.--The
first attempt at bank robbery in the
history of Helena occurred about /
o'clock this morning. The bank
selected by the crakesmen was the
Montana National, commonly
known as the Broadwater bank.
A tremendous explosion at the
hour mentioned drew a crowd of
people to the corner Of Main and
Edwards streets where the build
ing which was surrounded by
policemen. An examination of
the building at the landing of the
second story disclosed the effect of
the explosion. The upper step had
been tore entirely out and shatter-
ed into pieces. The pieces had
been driven by the force of the ex-
plosion up against the ceiling just
over the stairway, tearing large
holes in the plaster. The weather.
boarding along the upper steps
had been splintered.
At first sight it looked as if the
robbers had gotten On top of the
vault and exploded charge of
giant powder that had blown in the
whole top. An examination reveal
ed fact that the vault was uninjur-
cd, though the ceiling under the
stairway was badly broken The

principally from the broked plas-
ter and laths Of the ceiling. About
ten feet from the upper step two
anger holes were found. One was
in the waistcoting of the wall of
one of the rooms on the second
story and about eight inches from
the floor. The other was in the
doorway tive inches from the wall.
The crakesmen evidently started to
bore the hole in the wainscoting
with the idea of dropping a dyna-
mite catriage or giant powder in
there. 1t is probable, however
that they thought the object could
be accomplished much quicker by
boring straight down the floor.
This it is evident they started to
do, but must have struck too much
wood. Then the chances are they
looked for a more vulnerable point
and then made miscalculation.
They went to the stairway, bored
a hole in the corner Of the upper
step and put their explosive in
there. They no doubt thought
they were directly on top of one
end of tho vault. In reality they
had not taken the proper measure
ment and were about six feet to |
one side of it. The job was either

HE supreme court decides the state
depository act unconstitutional. It NO.
lates Section 81 Of the state constitution
in that the title Of the act did not express
the substance or provisions Of the bill.
The merits of the measure and it's OBJ
jects are not Of course touched upon.
The decision is based purely on the de-
fective title, the judges, in concluding
their opinion taking occasion to express
their personal respect and endorsement
OF the provisions and object of the
bill and regret for the necessity of
deciding against it on constitutional
grounds. 1t simply illustrates the ne
ceesity OF more care in the preparation
OF bills and closer attention on the part
Of legislators to their duties. Our con-
stitution is very explicit on the form of
bills and the manner of their passage,
and the court very properly holds to the

The Fargo Republican says: "The
railroads trav rising North Dakota are
manifestly unfair in their treatment of
the people of this state in the matter of
coal rates. For instance: A carload of
live stock they will ship from St. Paul
to Fargo Gncluding a pass for one man)
for s34 freight. A carload of coal from
the same point they charge $50 and no
pass with it. Deduct the value Of the
pass granted with the car Of stock, and
the figures show the coal rate to be
about double that of live stock. In cas-
OF a wreck the dumping of q car of coal
means nothing-not 80 with the wreck.
age OF a carload of horses-there is a bill
to settle by the railroad. The rate on
North Dakota coal from the mines to
Fargo is 1925 per ton, making it's use to
a great extent p%rohibitory. With q fair
rate on North Dakota coal not less than
1000 cars would be used in Fargo each
year to say nothing of the work it would
give to hundreds of men at 1.-THE mines.
Are the railroads determined to "kill the
goose that lays the golden eRe?"

The st. Paul Globe has been after St.

committed from murder down to
telling white lies, Mayor Wright
is accused of being responsible.

diversion and pastime also inauRurated

OF Argus-eyed Globe sensation seekers
Mayor Wright has been asked several
times to resign but, somehow, Halls
solicitations have not seemed to influence
him in that direction. Whenever there
has been a burglary committed or q
holdup reported the Globe cries
out to Mayor Wight to "reeign," and as
it to prove the utter ~useleesnees and
helplessness of the mayors police force
and his v executive ability to provide
means OF protection against thugs and
cutthroate, it is o asserted that it was
one of Editor Halls detectives" with a
a Jimmy" a bulls eye" and a "mask,"
who broke into the mayors house at an
early hour Friday morning. The culprit
was caught however, by the mayor him
self and turned over to the police, and if
reports are true the Globe is now minus
a "leader" writer.
