Rich Mems Millions.

It is a difficult matter to make will in
which shrewd lawyers cannot find flaw.
And it does seem as if the courts are in
clined to sympathize with those who try
to break wills. 1t is quite seldom that a
will that disposes of a large estate, and
divertssa part of it from the heirs of the
testator, is not broken. Samuel j. TiIden
wanted his millions applied to the estab-
lishment of great library in New York,
but his nephews and nieces thought they
would like to have his money and they
got it. Notwithstanding the fact that his
will was drawn by a man who has the
reputation of being the ablest lawyer in
New York, the courts held that the instru-
ment was void.
A contest is going on now in New York
over the will of an old leather merchant
named Daniel B. Fayerweather, who died
a couple of years ago, leaving an estate of
about S6,000,O00 He left 81, 100, 900 to be
divided among twenty colleges, which he
named, and after providing for his widow
he gave the remainder, about $4,000. OO0
TO three trustees, to be distributed, it is
claimed, among the twenty colleges. The
u N9SS~o AAbSA ~ bl4C W III W uuGdH IudL
they are authorized to give the residue to
institutions of their own selection
The trustees and twenty colleges are
now fighting in the courts for the 81 co.,
900, and each party is aided and abetted
by small army of lawyers, whose fees,
before the contest is settled, will be equal
TO large share of the residue.
Mr. Fayerweather would have been, a
wiser man if he had distributed his
wealth before he died. His last hours
were made unhappy by his wealth, be-
cause the squabble over it began several
days before his death.
A great fortune is a source of satisfac-
ton to its possessor, but it is also great
burden. When a man knows that he is
near the end of his earthly Journey and
, has plans relative to the disposition of his
millions, he cannot do a wiser thing
than carry out his plans himself. If he
depends upon others 10 execute them after
death the chances are his money will
not find Judgment where he intended it
should. Mr. Fayerweather worked and
saved a lifetime to accumulated great fort
une, and il looks now as if strangers
would get the credit for the most of that
part of it which will 60 to public institu-
lions.

The sound of the church bell last Sum
day evening, again found the sinners OF
the town Assem- bled to witness foot
race. The percentage of church goers
to the number of people bere who en-
joy any kind of sport lie exceedingly
small, and that fact secured the foot
racers very big crowd. The race was
a handicap, with Prout on the scratch
and Freburn one and Cutter seven yards
in the rear, the latter running l07 yards.
The race was won by Prout by about
four feet.

The Silver City people have made ar
engagements for some fine racing sport,
beginning September 18th, They have
hung up some very attractive purses
for races and propose to have big time

ed in DeLamar to have series of races
on the Wsgontow track few days
after the Silver City event, so that
horses brought IN can have more than
one chance to show their speed. With
the excellent programme which has
been arranged for Silver City there is
likely to be some good stock brought in
here, and we hope DeLamar will make
it an inducement, for the horsemen
may come here as well.

Base ball talk and bicycling are two
things both our mountain towns take

being favorable for INDUCING in either
of these exercises. We are always,
however, glad of any excuse that will
bring the Silver paople down here.

Fighters Corner.

! Last Saturday was wood and timber
payday here, and there having been
some twenty thousand dollars distribnt-
cd among teamsters, wood choppers
and contractors, times were made ex-
ceedinRly lively in the lower town.
There were gentlemsnly DRINKS, DRINKS
among old stiffs and hobos, fighting
DRINKS and any number of maudlin
DRINKS. When the timber and wood
men congregate here and draw their
money, we can always count on kind
of hell with-the-lid- off time. Satur-
day night developed just such a time !;
but, to the credit of the wood choppers,
be 1t said, not single one Of them got
into fight. They left all the fighting
to be done by the Amazons, tin-horns,
barkeepers and deputy sheriffs, with a
couple of miners thrown in to give the
thing little tone.
There were fights galore--enough Of
them to have made Denny brook fair
look, in comparisons like Sunday
school picnic. Space will not permit of
them all being given in detail The
principal event of the night was started
by brazen Amazon whom the boys
call, 1.-The Bucket of Blood" but who
does business under the more genteel
name of Mabel Raymond. This exceed
ing obstreperous character got into Tom
Halls dance hall with big jag and a
little gun and declared herself in Ian
guage too foul even for the ears accns-
toned to the language of dives, got
knocked over by tin-horn, dragged
out by barkeeper and Kicked by
p. L., recovered herself and smashed
window, dragged away and handcuffed
by couple OF deputy sheriffs, taken to
Jail at Silver City Sunday morning and
brought back Monday to be tried by
jury and fined seventy dollars and some
odd cents. This row was the occasion
of several black eyes, one of which is
still worn by a deputy sheriff, one by
big husky miner, who interfered with
the officers when it was evident they
were going beyond reasonable bounds,
and one by the she instigator of the
row.
The only other row of interest enough
to come into court, was when two min
ers, both more or less loaded with jsgs,
had words, and one got bad blow with
a beer glass. All the others were too
Insignificant to deserve mention.
