MRS. ROSE GETS THE ESTATE.
CONCLUSION OF A LONG AND
BITTER CONTEST.
The Supreme Court Sustains Judge
Johnson's Ruling in the Anna
Tyler Estate.

Several days ago the Record Union
published a syllabus of the Supreme
Courts decision in the matter of the
contest of the will of Anna Tyler, de-
ceased, in which the court upholds the
action of the Superior Court of this
county Department Two), in admit
ting the will to probate. The estate in
volved is worth about $1,000
The case involved many complica-
tions, but, as stated, the Will was adj
mitted TO probate, the court holding it
TO have been properly drawn and wit
messed in 1883, while the deceased was
Mrs. Mark Foster. Judge John Heard,
one of the witnesses, was dead and F..
B. Berger, the other witness, could not
recall anything in connection with the
will except that he identified his sig
nature and remembered having signed
the instrument The signature of the
testator was proven, however, and the
viii was admitted.
It was from this order that two
daughters of Mrs. Foster afterwards
Mrs. Tyler) appealed. The Will had be-
queathed them prudence McFayden
and Frances w Hamilton) but 81 each,
the rest of the estate going to an adopt
ed daughter. then a child, but now Mrs.
L. E. Rose.
The contestants claimed that the will
should not have been admitted to pro-
bate, as it was not clearly proven
which contention was upheld by the
Supreme Court Commissioners. A re-
hearing was granted the respondent
(Mrs. Rose), the case was resubmitted,
and now the Supreme Court in bank
overturns the decision of the Commits
sioners, and decides in Mrs. Roses IA
vor.
Justice Mcfarland wrote the decision,
which discusses at length the PROPOSE
tion involved, reaching the conclusion
that the. court below acted properly in
admitting the will to probate. The JUS
tice states in his opinion that where a
will is presented for probate and ap-
pears upon its face to have been exc
cuted in conformity with law and due
proof of the signatures of the 'testator
and witnesses is made, then, even if the
witnesses are dead or fail to recollect
the circumstances surrounding the exc
cution of the will, the usual presump-
tions apply, and the court should ad-
init the will to probate.
Were it otherwise, says the Justice,
the right to make Will and have the
same enforced might depend not upon
the act Of the testator, but upon the
witnesses themselves, their Willingness
to testify, their presence within the
jurisdiction, their lives or even their
recollection.
The decision cites many authorities
In support of the conclusions reached.

"Coming events cast their shadows
BEFORE" 10 an axiom which has ever
proved true. No great upheaval in the
worlds history but has had its forerun-
ner in some event of greater or less inn
portance. As with events, so with men.
There are exceptions to the rule, it is
true, but when we see youth, ambi-
ton, intelligence and talent united in
q man, and his earlier career has dis
played energy and ability we may,
with ease, predict q brilliant future in
the busy world Of commerce, pro-
fession or politics. Missouri possesses
many such examples, but we desire to
call particular attention to the subject
of our sketch, Robert Dunlap Rodgers,
of Mexico, Prosecuting Attorney for
Audrain county, whose career has
been such u to give promise of a

gan the practice of his profession in
Mexico, meeting with gratifying sue
cess. In 1894 he was elected to the
office of Police Judge, retiring at the
end of his term without seeking re-
election. In 1895 he was the nominee
of the Democratic party for the Office
of Prosecuting Attorney OF Audrain
county after a hot contest in the pri-
mary, mis- opponent being an able and
influential man. His administration
of the duties of the Office have only
served to increase his popularity. The
ability and success with which his
efforts have been attended is amply
evidenced from the fact that out of all
the indictments returned b ythe Grand
Jury there is only one instance in
which he failed to secure conviction.

Rodgers another term of his present
office, for it has always been the Gus
tom in Audrain county that where a
Prosecuting Attorney discharged the
duties of his Office satisfactorily there
shall be no opposition to his serving a
second term. There is no man more
worthy of the confidence of the voters
of Audrain county to-day than the
above gentleman. A forcible speaker,
fearless in his u~tterances, of strict in
tegrity, he ably serves the people and
can be relied on to adhere strictly to
the path of duty. During the time Mr..
Rodgers has occupied the Office of
Prosecuting Attorney the fines paid
to the County Clerk amounted to over

W.. W.. Fry.
Attorney-at-Law, Mexico, Missouri.

Attorney-at-LaW, mexico, Missouri
The multiplied interests of a large
community, the complications arising
out of commercial and other trans.
actions, the necessity for expedition
in the settlement of land suits, wind
ing up estates and claims of various
kinds, give to the profession of law
an Importance and influence that ID
recognized by all persons of intelli-
gence and judgment. And this leads
us to remark that prompt and faith
full attention to the interests of clients
will always bring the sure reward OF
success to the attorney who practices
these virtues. Such has been the re-
suit in the case of w. w. Fry, the
subject of our sketch. This gentle
man is a native son of "Joe Bowers
county" and received his primary
education in the public schools, after
ward attending college. Selecting
law as his profession, he entered the
law department of the Michigan Uni
versity, Ann Arbor, Mich, from which
he graduated in 1876. He then re-
turned to Mexico and began the
practice Of his profession, relying on
his ability and energy to insure his
advancement. How correct was his
policy has been borne out by his
career, for he now ranks as one of
Mexico's prominent jurists, his repu-
tation being that OF a careful and
capable lawyer and one who devotes
his whole energies and experience to
the interests entrusted to his care.
Mr.. Fry believes that IL q thing is
worth doing, 1t is worth doing well;
and this Is the secret of his success,
for every question coming before him

These gentlemen established their
business about four years ago with
the intention of supplying the wants
of the most exacting customers and
of keeping their store and stock up to
the marlx-a thing which the people
of this county seem to appreciate-as
is indicated by the liberal patronage
they receive. Their commodious
premises, measuring 30x75 feet, are
located at the corner of South Jeffer-
son and East Jackson streets, and
here one can find everything in the
line of shoes, as they carry one of
the largest stocks and varieties in the
county. There is a very fine assort-
ment of ladies' shoes, including the
well-kn0wn Eddy and Weber make;
while for gentlemen all the latest,
up-to-date styles and colors are kept,
making q specially of the Strong Gar
field anci A. E. Nettleton makes. The
children r by no means forgotten,
for a complete line of street and
school shoes, among which you
will find those of the Fl. w. Merriam
make, which always meets their spec
iai wants. They also display a full
stock of rubber goods and, in fact,
everything to be found in q first class
boot and shoe store. The business
was established In 1880 by the above
firm, which consists of A. T. Crawford
and W. a.. Wilkins. They r both
natives of Audrain county and have
had many years. experience In the
shoe trade, the former having been
engaged in business for some years In
Texas. Two nicer gentlemen than
the above would be hard to find. Be-
ing active, public-spirited citizens,
they have a host Of friends, who see
that they receive the patronage they
SO well deserve. Parties needing
anything in the shoe line will be hard
to please ii they cannot find what
they want at this store, prices and
quality beng right.
