DIED AT HIS POST.
"A Reporter Who Was Faithful in
His Work.

AAAS "oEh.
Matthew Donzelot is still remembered
i'll Paris as one of the most faithful and
courageous men who ever served a paper
as a reporter. His last assignment and
what came of it is told by NJ. Trimm in
the Petit Journal.
One day riot was apprehended, and
Donze}ot was sent to the Pantheon to
report the events in that quarter. AL
ready the stones were flying. and the
lawless mob had begun to tear up the
streets and barricade them.
One of Donzelot's friends saw him as
he was running 10y, and said to him:
What arc you doing here? Run and
save YOURSELF"
Donzelot made no reply, and again his
friend urged him to leave sc dangerous
a spot.
II am not going to move" he said;
but as you are going, kindly take this
copy along with you to the paper; you
will save lire time."
An hour passed, and the disorder was
at it's height. The mob had already be-
gun to clash seriously with the authors

pierced by bullet. A surgeon rushed
up to him.

'Never mind your pencil" returned
the surgeon, sharply. ''The question is

OF all the gloomy features of thas

on the part of Long John appeared the
worst.

about our ears by the run. You see,
sir, here it is. I get rough answer,

And who is that?" asked the squire.
Silver, sir. returned the captain:
hes as anxious as you and to smother

'em out of it if he had the chance, and
what 1 propose to do is to give him the
chance. Let's allow the men an after

fight the ship. If they none of them
go. well, then, we hold the cabin, and
God defend the right. If some go, you
mark my words, sir, Silver'll bring 'em
aboard again as mild as lambs"
1t was so decided; loaded pistols
were served out to all the sure men:
Hunter, Joyce and Redruth were taken
into our confidence, and received the
news with less surprise and a better
spirit than we had looked for, and then
the captain went on deck and addressed
the crew.

A MODEL BARN.
That Built by the County at the Poor
Farm is Up to Date.

Blue Earth county can be proud of
the new barn at the poor farm, now
practically completed. 1t stands two
stories above the basement. The
latter is arranged for cows, and mo
stanchions or ropes are used. There
is an arrangement with a chain just
above the flank, hooked to each side
of the stall, giving the animals free
use of their heads and bodies, as in
tended by nature. The second: floor
is used for horses, of which there are
eight, and for the storage of farm
machinery, of which Supt. Lewis is
very careful. The third floor is filled
to the peak with hay. The barn is to
be connected with the water supply,
and steam connection from the
house will be made, to cook feed for
the cattle and hogs. The barn is a
model one in all respects, and it
would pay the citizens of the county
to look it over.
Supt. Lewis has twenty boarders
at present. He reports that the
wheat crop on the poor farm will go
20 to Is bushels to the acre.

markings averaging IS, whereas Is is
required in order to be awarded GER

papers should have been marked

Mr.. Scherer's markings to State Su-
perintendent..P endergast. Her exam
ination papers were forwarded to
Mr.. Pendergast today, and he will de-
eide whether the markings are cor

Mr.. ASHWORTH Is APPRECIATED

The following concerning a former
Mankato man will be of interest to
all of his acquaintance and others.
1t is taken from he Corbin, KY,
News of Aug. 18th:
Mr.. James Ashworth, Master Me-
chanic. who has charge of everything
south of Lebanon Junction on the
Knoxville and Cumberland Valley
divisions, lives in this city, and while
he is the right man in the right place
with the railroad company, he is none
the less one of our best and most sub
stantial citizens. always ready, will
ing and anxious to assist in ANYTHING
pertaining to the upbuilding of our
town, socially, morally or religiouslv.
ever ready to help those who are in
any way in distressed circumstances.
Our people showed their appreci.
alton of him when he was elected
mayor Of the city at the last Noyem-
Der election by large majority. He
is now one Of the trustees of our pub
lie school, which is the largest one in
the county.
AS evidence of Mr.. Ashworth's
faith in Corbin's future he is in the
market for additional property. here.
notwithstanding he already owns five
houses and lots in the town. If our
citizens would all do their duty as
well as Mr.. Ashworth has done in
trying to build UP Corbin, our little
city would have been advanced sew
eral points beyond what it ,now,is.
Mr.. Ashworth is here to stay and
will remain citizen of Corbin. The
railway company has in more WAYS
than one shown their appreciation of
his services, only recently remember
ing him in very substantial way.

WOODS WILLS.
They Bring Business to the Pro-
bate Court.
The Contest Over the Division OF 9
$4,000 Estate is Now On in
Earnest.

The contest over the three wills
left by the late Abial e. Wood, of
Good Thunder, is on in the probate
court. Judge Wilson found his court
room too small for the large number
Of witnesses and others, and adjourn
ed to the district court room on the
second floor. Mrs. Mary E. Barney
and Mrs. Emma J. Mills are repre-
sented by Lurin Cray and Pau &
Pau, while Miss Valrah Wood, of St.
Paul, is represented by W. N, Plymat,
of this city, and Palmer & Beck, of
St. Paul
The proponents are Mesdames Bar
ney and Mills, and they put S. E
Barney and G. A. Chapman on the
witness stand this forenoon to prove
the formal execution of the will of
March 21st, 1890. This will leaves to
Miss Wood, who is a granddaughter
of the deceased, but $500, and divides
the balance of the estate equally be-
tween the two daughters, who are
the proponents. This is the first will
in point of date, but the last one
filed, The proponents rested after
having proved the formal execution
of the will which they desire to have
stand.
Tuesday afternoon, Miss Woods at
torneys called Mrs. Barney to the
stand Miss Wood offers both of the
later wills for probate. One Of these
is dated Dec. 11th, 1898, and divides
the estate equally between Mesdames
Barney and Mills and Miss Wood,
giving each about $4,000. Mrs.
Barney is named as executrix
of this will. The other will is dated
June 9Th, 1894, and leaves Mrs.
Barney and Mrs Mills $40, 900 each, and
the remaining 100000 to Miss Wood.
The latter desires that one of these
two wills be accepted, but the other
parties interested will probably claim
that Mr.. Wood was not competent
tC make will at the times that the
last two were made. A guardian was
appointed for Mr.. Wood in May, 1894,
which was previous TO the date Of the
last will.

DATED BACK.
Mr.. Woods Last Will Appears
to be Second.
Cross Examination Brings Out the Fact
that the Last Two Wills We're
Made Week Apart.

The Abial G. Wood will contest has
not reached the interesting stage.
Only two witnesses were examined
Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Barney and
Mrs. Mills, and their testimony re-
lated solely to the details of Mr..
Woods business, covering long per-
iod of time. This forenoon was taken
up with the testimony of Mrs. Barney
and VIM. N. Plymat. Miss Woods
attorneys are trying to prove that the
first will made by her grandfather is
annulled by the two subsequent wills.
The will dated June 9Th, 1894, was
proved to have been formally ex-
ecuted.
1t developed during the cross
ination of Mr.. Plymat that the will
dated Dec. 18th, 1898, was really made
week after the will dated June 9th,
1894, and that it was dated back
because Mr.. Wood then had a guard
ian. The latter was appointed two or
three days after the will of June 9th,
1894, was made, although the proceed
ings were pending at the time. Mr.
Wood thought it would be best to have
his last will dated back of the appoint
ment Of the guardian. Miss Woods
attorneys desire that the will dated
June 9Th, 1894, be held good, on the
ground that it was the last will made
before guardian was appointed. Un-
der this will, Mrs. Barney and Mrs
Mills would receive $4,000 each and
Miss Wood 100000.
There remains much testimony yet
to be heard, as evidence relating to
the competency of Mr.. Wood to make
will at the time that the last two
were made is to be introduced by
both sides, and will comprise the ties.

der and Mankato. The will'probably
occupy all of tomorrow.
The will that now appears to have
been actually made last, though dated
second, makes an even division of
property between the three claim
ants, and in case the first will should
be set.aside, the attorneys for Mrs.
Barney and Mrs. Mills would. probably
claim that this will should abe held
valid, as the two last wills were made
only week apartsand if Mr.. Wood
was competent at one of these times
he probably was not less SO at the
other.
