1T Is GIVEN AN AIRING IN COURT
YESTERDAY.
Mr.. Yoskum Files an Amended Petition
Asking the Probate of His wife's
VIII The Allegations
which He Makes.
The differences in the Yoakum family

The differences in the Yoakum family
will not down.
There will be another airing OF their
troubles in the superior court.
1t will arise from an amended petition
by George P. Yoakum for probate Of
a certain will of his deceased wife. Mrs.
Emily r. Yoakum. The document sets
forth some different circumstances than
those related in the contest proceedings
recently decided in favor OF the petit
toner, although containing the old
charges of undue influence over his wife
by D. W. Davis, Msnda Davis, Henriet-
ia Davis and DR.. j. s. Hodge.
The amended petition alleges that
Mrs. Yoakum left an estate valued at
not more than $2500. She executed q
will February 18th, 1891, in which her
husband was named "a the executor, in
which he and Lizzie Bradley were
named az the devisees.
The children of the deceased and the
petitioner are all of mature age. The
husband himself lie 81 years old; George
E. Yoakum of Eagle Grove, Iowa, Al
wears; Marion A. Yoakum, Pleasanton,
KAN, 81 years Ada A. Preston, King
fisher, Oklahoms, SO years; Ernest L.
Yoakum, Grenada, Kan, 80 years
Jessie I. Wade, Peonia, Coio., 80 years
Frank A. Yoakum, Vernondele, 20 years
Mr.. Yoakum alleges that thia will was
made by his wife as part of transac
ton by which che received from the
petitioner property belonging to tht
estate, for which the will was made euG
declared to be irrevocable. 1t was de.
livered to M. 7. Allen, who was to hold
it until after her Heath. subsequently
however, che obtained the viii an
known to Mr.. Alien or the petitioner
and March A, 1898, in violation OF thu
agreement, it was destroyed by s. V
Lsndt at her request. IL is alleged tina
this was procured by the false repre-
sensations OF the persons before men
toned, who also induced her to max
another will leaving her husband out 0
its provisions entirely.
The former charges OF his being pre-
vented from seeing his wife during he
last sickness are reiterated, and tn
court is asked to admit the frat will TO
probate, and issue letters testamentar,
to the petitioner.
