CONTESTING THE WILL,
Forty-twO Persons Are sueing for Young
Harris Money.


| ATHENS, GA, March rs The April
term of Clarke county superior court,
which convenes in two weeks, will have
two cases of great interest to be tried.
The first case will be that of G. NJ.
Harris ct al. caveators, VS.. w. w. Thorn
as and Il. A. Griffith, executors and pro-
Founders of the last will and testament
OF Young L. G. Harris.
Judge Harris died in 1894, leaving an
estate worth $105, 900, according to its
apprasement. The bulk of the estate
was left to Emory college, Young Harris
Institute, and a number of educational
and religious societies, both north and
south.
The caveators are forty-two in number
ana are relatives of Judge Harris. The
principal caVeator, Mr.. G. M. Harris. of
Dawson, is nephew.
The grounds upon which the case will
proceed will beundue influence and inca
pacity to make the will. The caveators
say they will bring out some startling
testimony tending to uphold their theory
of the case.
Messrs. j. FL. Query, of Dawson;
Lumpkin Il Burnett, of Athens, and s.
II, Sibley, of Union Point, represent the
caveators, and Messrs. Erwin & Cobb, of
Athens, and N. j. & T. A. Hammond,
OF Atlanta, represent the propounders.

surprise Oh every one Of the party a rudo
board box about feet wide and 6 feet
long and about IS inches in depth was
found lying upside down in the middle
of the open place. The box was im1ne-
diately overturned, but nothing but a
heap OF loose earth was found under it,
A closer examination revealed the fact
that attached to the box were a number
of pieces of lariat. The explanation of
all this was a mystery, and at first it
was not connected with the disappear
anoe of the Mexican.
An intimate friend of the missing
man then made an explanation which
was pronounced entirely plausible and
cleared the mystery. The man said that
the Mexican, after sustaining his in
jury, had been entirely dependent upon
strangers for his support and sustenance,
and he was determined, if possible, aft
er he was dead not to give them any
more trouble. He therefore devised a
scheme by which he could not only kill
but also, at the same time bury him.
self How the thing was managed was
easily enough determined by an inspec-
tion of the ground. The deceased had
dug grave, a rather shallow one, in
which his skeleton was found some
years later.
After the grave was dug, which re-
quired some time, owing to the feeble
condition of the deceased, he placed the
loose earth in a box that had been made
for that purpose This earth was pack
ed in as solid as possible by being wet
and then allowed to dry again, SO that
when the box was carefully stood on it's
side with the earth toward the ground
none of it fell out. Several lariats were
then stretched across from the upper
side of the box as it lay across the grave
to stakes OH the other side.
The box was then carefully balanced,
SO that any object that might fall on
the lariats would cause it to fall over
the grave and empty the earth it con
tanned on top of the body. In this man
ner the unfortunate man not only killed
but also buried himself almost in the
same instant of time.
So well satisfied were those who made
the surprising discovery that their theo
ny was correct that they did not take
the trouble to dig in order to ascertain
that the body was underneath. The
theory however, was further strength.
ened by the finding Of the pistol with
which the shooting had been done in
some loose earth near the edge of the
grave. 1t had evidently dropped there
from the suicides hand after he fred
the fatal shot. This fact convinced the
searchers, and they returned without
making further Investigations, so that
the desire of the unfortunate that ~
one should be troubled with burying
him was realized.
Some years later the skeleton of Jose
Mendez was accidentally discovered ana

Shipped a Baby in the Mail.

From tie Chicago Times Herald.
When the mail collected late last night
from the street boxes was sorted at the
postoffice this morning the dead body
of white baby was found neatly wrap
ped in brown paper. If the paper had
borne an address and sufficient stamps 1t
would not have attracted attention as
contraband matter. The package had
been deposited in one of the large street
boxes for the reception of packages. Old
clerks in the Office said they never heard
of dead body being sent through the
mails before. There was no mark on
the wrapping to show where the BODY
came from.

fitted Him For Active Life, Jose Mendez
Resolved to End His Existence without
Causing His Friends Trouble.
Jose Mendez was a Mexican Indian
who killed himself in 1862 in San Jose,
Cal. At the time of his death Jose was
S6 years Of age. He had all his life been
an exceedingly active man.
Among the daring characters then
residing in San Jose none could excel
him as rider of wild horses. He was
also very ingenious and could not only
make the finest kinds of lariats, but
could also use them in many original
ways.
One day the daring rider came to
grief. By some means he was thrown
from wild mustang, and, being stun
ned and made helpless by the fall, he
was dragged for some distance in the
stirrups. When finally rescued, he was
in a condition that would have been
sure and almost instant death to any
but man Of wonderful nerve and to-
nacity of life.
Injured and helpless, he recovered suf-
fciently to realize that he could never
engage in active pursuits again, and he
became very moody and respondent. A
life in which he was precluded from
daring riding on unframed mustangs
had no charms for him, and in the
midst of his sufferings from internal in
juries he made frequent threats of sui
eide. Once, in speaking of the matter to
an intimate friend, who tried to dis
suade him from the idea, he said that
when he killed himself it would be
done in such manner that no one
would ever have any more trouble about
him. Tt was thought at the time that Re
intended to drown himself in the sea,
where his body would never be recover
ed.
Every morning for several weeks
thereafter Jose crawled away from the
adobe hut in which he and a number of
others lived and came back quite late
every evening. On these trims he took a
pick and shovel and occasionally a
piece of lumber, no one knew for what
purpose. Some supposed that he was
mining somewhere. By this time he
had grown SO Respondent as to be en-
tirely communicative, and no expla
nation of his conduct could be obtained
from him, One evening, as was expect
ed, the invalid did not retarn to the
adobe, and the next day search was
made in the direction in which he went

j. Bryan arrived this evening from a
hunting excursion in fancy county, &C.
companied by Governor Stone, Senator
Jones and others. Stops were made at
all stations between Chadwick and this
place this afternoon and Bryan spoke in
favor Of free coinage to great crowds at
every point. Immediately upon the ar
rival Of the party in this city, Bryan was
driven to North Springfield, where he
spoke to an immense crowd, directing
his remarks to railway shopmen. He
argued for silver along the lines he used
during the campaign and urged the
friends of bimetallism to organize and
keep up the fight for 1900. At 8 o'clock
the Bryan party occupied boxes in the
Baldwin theater to see "Sowing the
Wind" Between the second and third
acts Mr.. Bryan was called upon for a
brief speech. He was semi-humorous,
but urged keeping up the battle for the
white metal. At II o'clock the crowd
followed Mr.. Bryan to the depot, where
he took the Memphis route train for
Kansas City and Denver.
