Suit to Break a Will.

Those interested in the estate OF
James W. McCollum, deceased, are
having rather lively skirmish over
Mr.. McCollum's worldly possessions,
his children having brought suit at
the approaching October term of
circuit court TO break his will. by
which he ieft bis wife all of his real
and personal property during her
life time.
As vii be remen bered. James W.
McCollum was a widower. who lived
near Pee Dee, and married the widow
of the late James Dinsmore, of four
miles south of keytesville. on Oct.
18th, 1895.
On the 10th of last July Mr.. Nc
Collum died of Bright's disease at
the keytesville house, whittier he
was brought to be near his doctor
for the purpose of taking treatment.
His will was made on the same
day he died. and those who are now
endeevoring to break the will claim
that he was incapacitated by reason
of bis long illness to make a valid
will.
The plaintiffs in the case are: John
W. McCollum, George McCollum.
Jane Moxley and John h. Moxley,
her husband, Nancy yiers and
James Were, her husband, Nora
Welch and John Welch, her husband.
and the defendants are: Mary Louisa
McCollum, widow Of the deceased
and executrix of his will, Amelia
Trow and Thos. Trow, her husband.
Thos. s. McCollum and Mertie Bak-
er, the two latter being minors.
By the provisions of the will John
W. McCollum, Jane Moxley, Nancy
Were, Amelia Trow, Nora Welch,
Thos. S. McCollum and George Nc
Collum, are each left only SIS.
All of the deceased's personal prop
erty and real estate are willed to his
wife to use as she pleases during her
life time, but to be divided equally
among his legally constituted heirs
at her death.
The attorneys employed to break
the will are: Messrs. j. A. Collet, of
Keytesville, and o. s. Barton, of
Glasgow.
This legal document over which
there promises to be quite lively
tussle 10 the courts, was written by
Capt. j. c. Wallace on the 10th OF
last July and was witnessed by John
James Moore and g. b. Gillian.

Badly Beaten.

A gay young man from Missouri
township struck Keytesvills last
Saturday. aud was seen during the
afternoon riding around town in a
buggy with a disreputable woman,
and in whose society he remained un-
til far into the dewy eve.
About 10 o'clock a difficulty arose
between the gay young man from
Missouri township and young man
from near Rockford, resulting ia
the formers being so badly beaten
that blood flowed freely from his ma
sal organ and the wounds inflicted
on his head. His shirt resembled
the one that our Republican friends
sometimes wave during q political
campaign, and his bran new 81
trousers were ruined from the pro-
fuse fiow OF claret. Verify the gay
young man from Missouri township
had fallen into the hands OF the
Philistines.
He managed finally to escape from
his perilous surroundings and came
mp town where he ran across
good Samaritan in the person
OF Squire III. A. Wheeler, who took
him to store and woke up a clerk,
so that the young man, who was not
now go gay, could purchase another
shirt and make a more presentable
appearances without running himself
and his blood-stained neither gsi-
ments through a laundry.
About this time the young man
commenced to take an inventory of
himself and his personal effects, but
found nothing missing except a few
locks OF his hair. A gold watch
which he at first thought had been
stolen was found in one OF his trous-
ers pockets, while S73 in money was
found in another pocket OF his outer
bipeds.
No arrests were male as the young
man whom, we trust, has learned n
lesson he will never forget, was only
too glad to-escaps- with his life, to
say nothing of his gold wa tch and
ST3 In money.
The melee originated at the same
disreputable resort in the south part
OF town, of which the COURIER
gave our local authorities an inkling
two weeks ago, but they seem to
have taken no steps to rid our COM
munity OF this vile haunt of sin and
dead-fall for young men until after
Saturday nights disgraceiul brawl.
Tuesday morning Marshal En-
bree called on the two inmates OF the
dive. and gave them "a hours to
leave town. They took him at his
word and left.
