AsHWORTH WILL CASE.
The Portion That Is Being Tried In the

The Portion That Is Being Tried In the
District Court in Helena.
A portion of the legal fraternity Of
Billings was present in Helena last
week at the hearing held in the district
court of Lewis and Clarke county con-
cerning the petition Of 2. B. Moss Of
this city to be appointed administrator
Of the estate Of Richard Ashworth, de-
ceased. The Herald Of Saturday speaks
of the case as follows:

worth, the Big Horn county, Wyo.,
cattleman, who died last year leaving
an estate valued at about 100000 to
be divided by will, which his father,
living in Manchester, Eng, and others
seek to prevent being proved. was con.
cluded yesterday afternoon, and the
court took the matter under advise
ment. The evidence was all submitted
by M. s. Gum and H. G. McIntire,
counsel for Moss. Alex Fraser, whose
son is one Of the chief legatees Of the
estate according to the will, and who is
resisting the appointment Of Moss as
executor, preferring to have the will
probated in Yellowstone county, where
petition to that effect has been filed.
did not offer any testimony yesterday.
The counsel for the Frasers, N. W. Nc.
Connell and o. F. Goddard, relied upon
the claim that the will should be pro-
bated in Yellowstone county, and that
it could not be attacked in this county.
Lawyer Gum. who was on the stand
yesterday. testified that he secured the
will, together with a note made by P.
B. Moss for 100000 belonging to the
estate, and few Indian ourios, which
he brought to Helena. He said he
afterward learned that the will was
void, and was employed by the dead
mans father to represent him. Mr..
Moss, also representing Mr.. Ashworth
Sr.. applied for letters of administra.
tion, aud bis petition 10 being opposed
by Alex Fraser, one of the executors
and father of the principal legatee.
One of the principal witnesses yesteI-
day was Attorney Lane Of Billings who
drew up the will, leaving the blank
spaces as Ashworth requested. The
will was certified to in that shape. II
Ashworth afterwards filed In the
names, he oontended the document was
not legal. The court will probably de-
cidelthescaae early next week.
