A NIECES CLAIM.
To the Late r. S. MesiCk's
Estate.
She Seeks to Upset the Will on the
Ground of George ii. MaxwelPS
Undue Influence.

A contest has been filed in the Probate Court
over the estate Of the late Judge r. S. Mesick.
The contestant is a 14-yeaT- old niece of the
deceased. Louise A. Meslck, residing in Port
land, Or.
The late Judge died in May, 1898, leaving an
estate valued at SOL 900. His law library and
one-half Of the remainder of his property was
bequeathed to bis partner, George Fl. Maxwell.
and the remaining half TO an employe. John
Rivers. Maxwell was appointed sole executor
without bonds. The Will in question was writ
ten by the testator himself and executed Feb
ruary 81, 1898.
In her petition for revocation of probate of
this document Louise Mesiek alleges that at
the time OF iIs execution the t-Stator was men,
tally unsOund and physically weak, conditions
caused by sickness and ola age. He was nos In
a condition to max will.
Further, il is claimed that Mesick was com
pletely under the influence and control OF his
partner, Maxwell, VINO, with the view of seeur-
ing the greater part OF the estate to himself,
kept close watch upon the dying man. 1t is
even stated that a few days before his death
Judge Meslck executed a second WILL under
which she was a beneficiary TO The exclusion of
Maxwell. The petition states that this second
will was In existence at the time OF Mesck's
death, but was afterward destroyed by some
one with the purpose Of defraudlng the petit
toner of her rights.
1t is further claimed that Maxwell, knowing
Mesick's weak mental condition, urged upon
him that he (MaXWelD was entitled 10 all his
property; that his relatives had received their
share aud were not entitled 10 any more; that
the said relatives had no affection for him. but
merely wanted his money; and by such means
and representations so poisoned the old mans
mind as 10 persuade him TO disnherlt them.
The contestant, through her attorneys, Red
dy, Campbell & Nelson, has obtained the ap-
pOlntment of William Ford as guardian ad
lILem and Judge Hebbard has issued the ne
cessary citation to the heirs and legaIees to ap-
pear In court on August l.

A Meeting to Be Held Tomorrow
Afternoon to Devise Plans for

The people Of Solano County appear to
have awakened to the fact that the ques-
ton of cheap transportation for their
products is one of vital Importance. They
claim that the Southern Paciic's charges
are such that by hauling grain few miles
farmers living in certain portions of the
county can save 81 a ton by shipping by
water with the present inadequate facili-
ties.
This question Is one which the residents
in the locality mentioned have given much
study in the hope that some remedy could
be suggested whereby relief might be Sc
cured.
The result of these deliberations will be
made manifest tomorrow afternoon, when

who hold the balance Of power in the

compromise proposition submitted to
them Wednesday night by the other
democratic cOnferces. This compromise
involved the surrender of the
position of the senate on coal

would make these articles free OF duty.
The compromise on the sugar sched-

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. s.-Oficial re-

show the straight democratic ticket to
have gone through complete by major
tiles ranging from 917 to 4,725. The
average falls about 1.200 short of the
majorities secured by the democrats in
the presidential election of 1892.
In the other counties of West Ten.
nessee, nearly all of which have been
heard from, the democrats have held
their own barely. In some counties
the fusionists have elected their county
ticket, while the democratic nominees
for the supreme bench have received
large majorites. This is the case in
Obion county, where the democratic
supreme court got majority of GOO.
This indicates that the populists have
sacrificed the republican supreme court
