A FAMOUS CASE.
The Davis win Case to De Reopened In
 Montana.

The Davis Will Case to He Reopened In
 Montana.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Bowdoin of Spring field, Mass, has filed 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 q 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 i'll the original contest. Mrs. Bowdoin was one of these.
 In her petition she alleges that the old will, executed i'll 1866, i'll Salt Creek township, Ia. when Davis was poor man, was q forgery; that the body of the instrument and the signatures of Davis and three witnesses were forged The principal point raised ill the peti- tion is the allegation of the fact that in 1880 Davis executed 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 i'll value. and is worth probably $10, ,0O0, GOO.

A. P. A. SUPREME COUNCIL.
Transacted Business In Washington Be-
hind Closed Doors.

Washington. May 12-The supreme
council OF the American Protective As
ISOLATION began its routine business to-
day behind closed doors. An effort was
made by the newspaper men who are
delegates to secure admission to the
meetings for members Of the press, but
the motion was lost.
"Ther is really nothing done In the
meetings that could not properly be
heard in public" said Mr.. DeWolfe, OF
the Boston Standard. chairman OF the
press committee. The question of sus-
tanning the advisory committee which
blacklisted Mckinley causes more inter-
est than any other question connected
with the council. Many OF the delegates
wear Mckinley buttons. Buttons bearing
the likeness OF Congressman Linton, OF
Michigan, are also worn by many Of the
delegates. Little talk Of Linton as a
presidential candidate is heard. but there
is a movement on foot to secure an en-
dorsement Of him by the Republicans for
the vice-presldency.
The secretary's report showed a great
growth Of the order during the past year.
1t stated that s36 charters for new coun-
ellis had been issued during the year;
that the voting strength of the order
has been doubled, and that the order Is
planted in every state and territory.
The treasurer's report showed a sat
isfactory financial condition and was ap-
proved by the auditing committee. Sew
eral resolutions were introduced relating
to questions before congress. Among
them were resolutions calling for more
stringent immigration laws, for the COM
plete separation Of church and state, and
for the removal OF the statue OF Father

Havana, May 7.-(Copyrighted 1896, by

the officer who has recently seen hard
service In Pinar del Rio. leading his COL
umn against the forces OF Bandit Maceo,
has arrived In Havana and will shortly
depart for Spain, he having taken leave
OF his command. His column was count
ed on TO assist in the battle OF Cacaraji-
cara, but was unfortunately unable to
take part in the engagement.
There is great sorrow in the hearts OF
all the soldiers over General Bernals de-
parture. and captain-General Weyler is
particularly sad because the gallant on
Ger must take his departure.
The meeting between Captain-General
Weyler was similar In affecting pathos
to the meeting between one OF our own
great American soldiers, General James
Coleman Drayton. and General Henry
Alsop Borrowe. during the great trouble
In the United States. As General BOr-
rowe embraced General Drayton SO Gen.

Sad Termination of Boating Party
Near Skamokawa.


| Special to the Astorian
Skamokawa. May l3-A very sad end
ing was that OF a boating party which
left Skamokawa Tuesday afternoon for
a sail in a fishboat to Cathlamet and re-
turn. The party was composed of Mrs.
A. r. Crosby, Miss Retta Kennedy and
Messrs. Frank Peterson, Charles Newell
and a Mr.. Crafts, OF Portland, who Is
visiting here. The boat was In charge
Of young Peterson, who had the reputa-
ton OF being very skilful and careful in
handling a boat, and everything seems
to have gone pleasant until the party
attempted to return. When OF the
mouth OF the channel which turns into
Cooks slough they caught a heavy
sQuall; II is thought that the sheet OF
the sail got jammed or foul in some way
and the boat capsiZed. Crafts succeeded
in climbing on top OF the boat. and for a
time he held Mrs. Crosby, but she had
no strength and he could not hold her
He thinks some one pulled her away
from him. There was quite a feet OF
boats near at the time. but they did not
so to the assistance OF the drowning
people as soon as could have been ex.
pected on account OF the sQuall. Young
Newell could not swim. and although
ECNCicoh was bOOu Hc SCcihS
to have perished in his attempt to save
Miss Kennedy. Mrs. Crosby and Newell
combined. A fshboat at last got near
enough to rescue Miss Kennedy and Mr..
Crafts.
Miss Kennedy was nearly dead
when taken into the boat. but the fisher
men succeeded In bringing her to life,
and about 7:3O in the evening she ana
Mr.. Crafts were landed at Skamokawa.
Mrs. Crosby was the wife Of A. r. Cros-
by, the band saw filer at the mill They
had been married but six weeks. Mr..
Peterson was the only son OF Mr.. P. o.
Peterson, of this place, and was about
g years old. Young Newell was the
only son Of Mr.. Henry Newell. Of this
place, and was % years old. The acci-
dent is the worst that ever took place
here, and the little village is filed with
sorrow. None of the bodies have been
recovered, but large party OF citizens
are out dragging the river. Diver John
son was sent for, but the water was
very deep where the drowning took place
and the carrent very swift. and there is
little hope of their recovery. At last
reports Miss Kennedy was recovering
from the shock and resting comfortably.
