Of Penn & Penn, OF Cincinnati, succeed
ed in setting aside the will Of the late
Mrs. George Stoppelkamp. of Cincin-
natl. Mr.. Stoppelkamp purchased this
property in 1884, paying for it with his
own funds, but had the deed made to
his wife, Katharine Stoppelkamp, with
the intention that she could hold 1t for
him and that it should come back to
him at her death. However, she after
wards made will, which provided for
only a life interest to her husband,
that is only the right to collect the
rents during his life, the balance OF the
property to go to other parties. But
as she held the property in trust for her
husband, the will could pass no great
err interest than trust title. Mr.. Stop
pelkamp refused to accept any interest
under the will, but brought suit to have
the will set aside, and the court sus-
tanned him. Mr.. ]. A. Penn, OF this
firm. was a former we'll known citizen
of Wheeling.

A NEW MADE GRAVE,

Discovered Near Cumberland, Nd. Creates
Sensation
Special to the Register.
Cumberland, Nd, November 21.-
Somewhat of sensation has been Gre
ated here by the finding of yawning
grave at wild and unfrequented spot
on the side of Wills Mountain. The
discovery was made by Internal Rev.
enue Collector Holzshu, ex-Mayor Mel
linger and others. A new hotel has
been erected on the mountains sum-
init, which these gentlemen had visit
ed. They were returning home by way
of a sheep path when the find was
made. The police were notified and
developments are being watched. 1t is
the impression that mysterious crime
has been committed and that the per-
petrators intend burying their victim
in that secluded grave. A report that
the grave was filled in last night can
not be verified. The grave was newly
dug.
