A Will Contest.

The heirs of the late Josiah E. Hay
ward, of st. Cloud. have begun
what promises to he lenthy liti-
cation over the property left by
their father. Objections were filed in
the probate court of Stearns county
to the admission of the will to pro-
bate by Samuel L. HAYWARD and
Mrs. Clara H. Freeman, two of the
heirs. According to the provisions
OF the will u. S. Hayward gets both
the Grand Central and West hotels
which is considered the bulk of the
property, and the rest is divided
among the other five children, with
the exception Of $4,000 left for the
care of the widow during the re-
lnainder of her life. The property
was not considered equally divided
by the majority of the citizens OF st.
Cloud, but the will was evidently &C.
cording to the wishes OF the deceased
and one he wished to stand for he
had 4 clause inserted which pro-
vided for the disinheritance of any OF
the heirs who should seek to have it
annulled.

MINNEAPOLIS Saw Mills.

Minneapolis Zimmerman: There
is now a prospect that the mills OF
the city will start up before the end
of next week, and with enough logs
to keep them going. During the
past week the water from the
opened dams OF the upper river has
been approaching, and with the ad-
dition of that which has fallen in the
frequent showers up to Thursday
night the river had raised about
twelve inches. The steamer OF the
Boom company which has been
stranded behind Durham island, is
now out and at work at Coon Creek
rapids driving piles across the main
stream. A crew of drivers has been
sent up the river to Dayton for the
purpose of starting the logs from
tie Jam there, and when they arrive
they will be banked against the pill
ing for the purpose of making a dam
that will force the water through
the slough back to Coon Creek is-
land. This will carry the logs that
are in the slough to the river below
where they have free run to the
mills.

A Public Park.

What would add more to the i'm
provement of this Cit; and tn" public
need than a nice park, where persons
could spend the evenings OCCASION
ally with friends and relatives.
Young folks desire some such resort,
where seats are furnished free and
where the city band would probably
play twice week. 1t would prob
ably attract som" of our good
people from attending the saloon
concerts. A park is thing OF ne
cessity for city OF this size. Smaller
cities of the state have such parks
and our city has all the chances in
the world also to have one. With
small start we could gradually &C.
quire one. Will somebody else
please let us hear their opinion on
the subject.

PLENTY OF LOGS.
Miesissippi Full from Here to
Brainerd and Water
to Bring the Down.

Ed. LeVoy, foreman for the Missis-
sippi and Rum River Boom COM
pany in reply to a question In re-
gard to the supply Of logs available,
said Tuesday morning: There are
plenty of them. The Mississippi is
full between Little Falls and Brain
erd. There is a jam at Belle Prairie
Rapids four miles long, containing
forty million feet and another at
Crow Wing with about twenty mil
lion in it. The Upper Mississippi
has been more favored with rain
than this locality and the stage OF
water is sufficient to bring them
down. There was a good rain at
Aitkin Sunday and also at other up
river points. l will start with a
crew tomorrow and bring n clean
rear from Brainerd." According to
the above there need lie no fear OF a
shut down of the mills at this point,
nor any OF the mills on the Missis-
sippi for want of logs.
