BECKWITH BURNBD OUT.

AT 1:40 yesterday morning a IRE
alarm was turned in from box SO, To-
Gated at the corner of Twenty-ffth
street and Munroe avenue. The depart
ment Immediately responded but five
minutes after -he first alarm second
one was sent in from box Al, which
caused many people to think that two
fires were raging. Chief Binford was
at the fire when the second alarm went
in and the wagons were nearing the
place. which proved to be the residence
of Attorney J. c. Beckwith, No. 1856
Twenty-fourth street. The roof was
smoking when the fire chief got there
and the blaze had broken through
when the hose wagon arrived.
1t was rather slow work putting out
the fire as it had considerable start
in the upper portion of a ten-room
frame house. Furthermore it was no.
ticed that water could hardly be
thrown as high as the house caves The
damage by water was considerable, all
the carpets being ruined.
The house was nearly a total loss
and about 90 per cent. of the furniture
is likewise lost The insurance was
written by three different Ogden firms
and aggregates $1,000 on the house,
and $1,000 on the furniture.
The fire was caused by a defective
f1ue in the kitchen. Mr.. Beckwth made
a fire about $50 o'clock and retired to
bed. When he walked up the roof was
burning.
The water pressure at the time of the
fire was so pounds. Chief Binford
states that it should have been at least
100 pounds.

Claimants as Thick as Mud PuddIes
After IL Rainfall.
BUTTE, Mont, March 26.-Five con-
tests of the alleged will of Andrew j.
Davis are now on.
Tomorrow is the last day for fling
contests, being one year from the date
of the probate of the alleged will of
1866, in which the bulk of the estate
was left to John A. Davis, brother of
the dead millionaire.
The contestants so far on record are
Eliza Bowdoin, of Springfield, Mass,
and Diana Davis, of Somers, Conn.
sisters; Calvin P, Davis, of Sebasto-
pol. Cal. brother; Eliza A. Smith. of
Berkeley, Cal, niece; and Hulda Shell,
of Kern county, Cal, who claims to be
the widow of the dead millionaire.
Bowdoin, Calvin, Davis and Diana
Davis contests are all alike, asking
that the probate of the will be set
aside on the ground that it was a
forgery. and. if not that, it was re-
voked by the will of 1880, which was
subsequently destroyed. The Smell
contest is based on the alleged mar
riage of Davis TO the petitioner in 1912,
in Arkansas, and claims he went to
California, was reported killed, and his
wife married again and moved to the
same state.
The most formidable contest is that
of Eliza A. Smith, instituted today.
She alleges that the will of 1866 was
forgery, and that it was contested by
Henry A. Root, and Harriet Sheffield,
of Massachusetts; Henry A. Davis, of
New York, and Sarah Maria Cum
mings, of Ware, Mass. The case re-
suited in a mistrial, after which petit
toner states that contestants entered
into a conspiracy with the heirs of John
A. Davis to divide the estate among
themselves and defraud the other
heir, Andrew j. Davis; that they made
agreement to admit the genuineness
of the will, and in pursuance of that
agreement, on March q, 1895, the will
was admitted to probate and a decree
of distribution made. By this alleged
will Harriet Sheffield and Henry A.
Davis, niece and nephew, were to get
each one-fortieth; the widow and
children of John A. Davis ninteen-
forty-fourths of the remainder, and H
A. Root, nephew, Sarah M. Cummings,
sister; Eliza L. Ladd and Ellen L.
Corinnie. nieces, the other twenty
orty-fourth of the remainder.
The petitioner says no notice of in
tention to apply for probate was given
her or others not interested in the
agreement. 1t is claimed the will is a
forgery, but that the contestants who
proved it so are not in a position now
to fight it on those grounds. The pc
titioner wants one-twenty-secon of
the estate. Saturday, April 4, is set as
the day for hearing the petition
