A FAMOUS CASE.
The Davis VIII Case to BE Reopened In
Montana.


Montana.
Mrs. Elizabeth Bowdoin Of Spring
field, Mass. has filed a petition in the
Eighth district court Of Montana for the
purpose Of reopening the famous will
case contest involving the many millions
left by the late Judge Andrew J. Davis.
Mrs. Bowdoin is a sister Of the dead
millionaire, and she asks the court to
revoke the probate of the old will. over
which the contest by the Root faction
was carried on for years, and which was
finally admitted to probate about year
ago under some private arrangement for
the division of the estate, but which
arrangement did not include some heirs
at-law who had taken no part in the
original contest. Mrs. Bowdoin was one
Of these.
In her petition she alleges that the old
will, executed in 1866. in Salt Creek
township, Ia, when Davis was poor
man, was a forgery; that the body Of
the instrument and the signatures Of
Davis and three witnesses were forged.
The principal point raised in the petit
tion is the allegation Of the fact that in
1850 Davis executed a will, by the pro-
visions Of which all FORMER wills were
revoked, but this will was subsequently
destroyed Mrs. Bowdoin. however,
claims that the fact that it was destroyed
did not revive the old will, even if the
latter was genuine. The estate involved,
In spite Of the great litigation, has con.
stantly increased in value. and is worth
probably $40, 900, 900. Chicago Times

Dry Lima Beans for the Table.
Few of those who like the succulent

beans have, even when dried. much

them popular when eaten green. There
is another reason also for saving the
late beans left at the end Of the season
for use in winter. They are quite often
used for seed, with the result Of max

HOW JUDGE ROBINSON rs DE
TENDED.

The Caucasian defends Judge Rob
inson FOR his clown-like performances
i'm the mountains by denouncing Mr..
Elias as ian anti-Christian lawyer.
AS a matter fact, after marrying one
of the most accomplished women in
Western North Carolina, Mr.. Elias,
whose parents are Hebrews became a
member of the Methodist church and
is an officer in that church. III may
be that the Caucasian regards all Meth
odists as "anti-Christian" since DIR.
Thompson. member of that church,
has become Bob Ingersolfs chief lieu
tenant iii North Carolina. If SO. We
BEG to assure the Caucasian that Dr.
Thompson's SANDER of the church is
repudiated not only by every true
Methodist. but also good members OF
every other denomination.
The attempt to belttle Mr.. Elias be-
cause he is of Jewish extraction is on
a par with the methods in vogue Il
mong Populists. 1t is practice which
belongs to the dark ages and is un-
worthy of this decade. The only de
cent thing for the Caucasian to 40 is
to admit that Judge Robinson's be-
havior was scandalous, and to defend
it on the ground that the Judge is, to
use his own words 1.-The most essential
ly d--n fool" in public life He is a
clown. and good one. He hasn't as
much judicial fitness as year ola
child, and his elevation to the bench
was a blunder of the first magnitude.
But withal, Judge Robinson is an a
greeable, bright and witty man; free,
as we believe, from corrupt influences;
a pleasant companion; and not to be
mentioned in the same breath with the
judges who sold justice under the old
Radical regime. As a judge he rs
misfit. As something else, he would
do very well.
