and found another Ohio party of 12 men
camping about half mile from the
boundary line. This party had II deer
hung up near the camp and there wers
as many carcssses on the ground. The
meat which they intended to take home
was salted and had been done up in ths
skins of the deer for shipment. It was to
this party that the warden read the law,
He told them that they were violating
the law of the state. The men paid the
sum It had cost Mr.. Nichols for expenses
and promised him that they would engage
guides for the party Thursday morning.
To make certain that they did what they
agreed to, MIR. Nichols left guide to
look after the matter. On the way back

was witnessed in the probate court today
when the hearing upon the contest over
the estate of the late Allen Gregory was
given. Mrs. Lille D. Gregory,
niece by marriage of the dead cattle deal
er, took the stand and testified that she
was the person who performed the mar
riage ceremony, which it Is alleged bound
Allen Gregory and Martha Claybourn as
man and wife. Allen Gregory, known as
the father of the stock yards, died August
2, last leaving an estate valued at 81, 000,-
900. He was supposed to be without wife
and child and letters of administration
were issued to collateral heirs. Soon after
this, however, Miss Martha Claybourn, as
she claims, Mrs. Allen Gregory, asked
American Trust and Savings bank ap-
pointed as administrator. 1t is alleged
that Miss Claybourn entered the home OF
Mr.. Gregory in 1892 as member of the

Mr.. Gregory on more than one occasion
introduced her as his wife. Allen Gregory
was 73 years of age when he died, while
the present claimant is ahout.62 years Of
age. She is a member of one of the best
known families in Chicago.
The witness said she had first met Miss
Claybourn at her unele's house, July 4,
Gregory says she performed the marriage
ceremony.
Witness said she was SO strongly con-
vinced that her uncle should marry Miss
/ Claybourn that she finally prevailed upon
him to consent to the ceremony taking
place. Miss Claybourn told the witness
that she had not been to church for many
years and did not know where to find a
minister. At this the witness suggested
that she was a minister's daughter and
could remember the form of the service
According to the witness she then spoke
the words necessary to bind them as man
| and wife together and both her uncle and
Miss Claybourn repeated them. Mrs.
Gregory then said she pronounced them
man and wife by saying: "What God has
| Joined together, let no man put asunder.
After this ceremony Mrs. Gregory said
that Allen Gregory said that he felt better
but that he did not want the circum-
stances announced to the relatives al
though the witness endeavored to get him
to do this.

GROVER CLEVELAND, JR.
A Son and Heir Arrives to the Rz
President.

Princeton, N. j., October SS.-A son
and heir to ex-President Cleveland was
born today at 10 o'clock. Rumor has it
that the new conner resembles his father,
but neither Mr.. Cleveland nor the family
physician, DIR. Bryant, DR.. MoCook Of
New York and DR.. Wyckoff of Princeton
will say anything in regard to the baby
other than he is getting along nicely
and is "fine boy"
All the afternoon Mr. Cleveland has
received at his home the many callers
who wished to pay their respects to him
in honor of the occasion. Some have
congratulated the ex- President personal
ly, but many preferred to leave their
cards with best wishes for mother and
son.. Prominent among those who called
M. T. Payne, Miss Patton and Prof.
Andrew West. kilograms of congratu-
lations were received without number.
Among the first to offer congratulations
by wire were Joseph Jefferson, =. 9.
Benedict, Secretary Thurber and J. u.

The fact that Cleveland heir was born
was announced during the varsity prafe-
tice this afternoon. There was a big
gathering of under graduates on the field
watching the varsity and scrub teams
practice. When the announcement wnR
| made three Princeton cheers were given
for the boy, three for the mother and
three more for the father. 1t is probable
| that the undergraduates will serenade
MIR. Cleveland and his heir at some fu.
| ture date.
On the college bulletin board in front
Of Reunion hall, was posted the follow
ing notice:
"Grover Cleveland, Jr., arrived today
| at IL o'clock, will enter Princeton with
| the class of 1916 and will play centre rush

pected to result In the refusal of the most
case Of the more noted musicians in their

If sustained in the higher courts, to which
an appeal will be taken, will set aside

advanced by some of the railroad people
that the embankment of the New York
Central railroad where the state express
was thrown into the river on Sunday
was blown out with dynamite by train
wreokers is given little or no credence
by the people of the surrounding conn
try. The train wrecking idea is almost
universally secuted, and the popular ex-
planation of the cause of the disaster is
that it was simply ''washout' of the
kiEd so common to railroads that are
built on made ground alongside of large
streams of water.
