The attention Of Judge Kirk of the
county court was occupied on Satur-
day by listening to the evidence in the
contest over the probating Of the con-
tents Of the last will of the late Mrs.
Soprino Willets Of Beresford. The
contestants were nine in number. The
evidence adduced by Mr.. Willett was
that his wife on August 5, 1893, two
weeks previous to her death, signed a
will b%equeathing the 1GO acres adjoin-
ing the town site OF Bercsford, owned
by her and valued at $1,000, to her
husband, as well Us all the chattel
property on the farm. This will was
signed by John Secor and Miss
Minnie Willett, daughter OF the de-
ceased. The instrument was afterward
swept out by mistake and lost. The
defense put In no evidence maintaining
that the will alleged to have been
signed was no will at all; that the wit
nesses did not sign in the presence OF
the testatOr and that the contents had
not been fully proven. The farm was
~homesteaded" by Mr.. Willett and six
or seven years ago was decided to his
wife for the consideration Of 81. The
evidence was to the effect that the de-
ceased previous to making her will had
expressed a desire to return the prop.
erty to her husband. Judge Kirk took
the evidence under consideration and
on Monday admitted the probating OF
the lost will.
