To Contest the Will

The will of the late George Harmon OF
Tecumseh does not seem to please all the
relatives. Mrs. Mary A. McGee of Beat
rice, who is daughter by Harmon's first
wife, and who was not mentioned in the
will, comes into the district court of Ne
maha County and asks that the will be
set aside. AS the instrument now stands
all of Harmon's property, which includes
several tracts of johnson and Nemaha
counties choicest lands, goes to son and
daughter, Benson Harmon and Mrs.
Sarah r. Townsend of Tecumseh. The
case will undoubtedly be hotly contested.

POACHING IN YELLOWSTONE PARK

MORE MONEY NEEDED FOR POLICE SERVICE.
CHIEFLY TO PROTECT THE BUFFALO.
WASHINGTON March % (SpeciaD.-The Secretary
Of the Interior in response Senate resolution,
has transmitted to that body communication IN
reference TO poaching in the Yellowstone National
Park Forming a part OF the Secretary's letter is
a report from Captain George s. Anderson. o'h
Cavalry acting superintendent OF the Park. Cap
tain Anderson says that poaching is carried on TO
some extent In the Park, and that Il will be I'M
possible to prevent II entirely. Most OF It is done,
however near the borders by persons who live
without the Park and operate near the line. Elk.
deer. antelope and other game are 50 plentiful that
the damage to them is slight With the buffalo,
however II Is different. and Captain Anderson says
that the herd is In danger OF extinction. Animals
cross into Montana and Idaho and are there killed
In Montana tho law properly provides for their
protection, but 1t is not actively enforced. Idaho
has a law protecting nearly all kinds OF game but.
strangely enough buffalo not there protected.
and this fatal omission. the Captain says. should
be promptly remedied
The Captain reports that the police force guard
ing the Park is not sufficient. Until August last
he had only besides the soldiers under
his command At that time the Secretary OF War
authorized him 10 expend goo of the Park appro-
priaton for It's protection. He at once employed
and brought in valuable Information. Captain An
derson says that allotment Of 1900 70 be ex-
pended by the superintendent OF the Park ior
scouts guides and detectives as they may bc
needed would result in thoroughly protecting the
game remaining in the Park.
In his letter Secretary Smith recommends that
the protection and improvement OF the Yellowstone
Park during the ensuing fiscal year.
