TOBIN'S CASE LOST.
Judge Lewis Sustains the Findings
of the Probate Court

of the Probate Court.
Judge Lewis yesterday in the district
court filed decision SUSTAINING the pro-
Date court in the matter of the estate Of
Mrs. Kate Ludwig, deceased, which came
up for hearing Jan. Oh the appeal of
John Joseph Tobin from an order of the
probate court refusing to admit Mrs.
l-udwig's will to probate. The court finds
that the document presented as the last
will and testament of the deceased was
not signed and witnessed according to the
requirements of the statute.
Mrs. Ludwig died on July Is. 1893 at
the age OF fifty years, leaving the bulk
OF her property to John Joseph Tobin. to
the practical exclusion of her natural
heirs. Tobin had boarded with Mrs. Lud-
wig, who was a widow, for several years
and some time before her death she call
ed in Fred c. Eggert and Clara Eggert,
neighbors, to witness her will. At the
hearing the Eggerts both testified that
at the time they signed the will was fold
ed in such manner that they saw moth
ing except the place they were to sign.
Furthermore, they had not seen Mrs
Ludwig append her signature. Two sis
tiers of the testator objected to the ad-
mission Of the will to probate on the
ground that the instrument had not been
properly witnessed.

that the dog was bad quarrelsome, dys-

that 1t was partnership dog and that
he had no right to kill more than his

ARE STILL TIED UP.
Mayor Kiefer Refuses to Nod to
Ames or POttgieser

The deadlock over the election of a
president Of the board of public works
still continues, and for that matter there
appears to be small prospect of an early
adjustment of the problem as to who
shall preside over the destinies Of this
body.
Yesterday afternoon the members of
the board got together again in secret
session, and while the star chamber
seance was somewhat protracted as to
duration, the perfunctory performance of
taking a ballot was not even INDUCED In.
AS Mr.. Mic Pottgetser put 1t, the situa-
ton remains unchanged, and at yester-
days meeting it was decided that, as the
recalcitrant members had not vet ex-
perienced change Of heart, 1t would be
just as we'll to sleep over the matter an
other night. -G -
In the meantime the several aspirants
for the position of city engineer are up
in the air, so to speak, and the respective
friends of CIausen, Rundlett and Somers
are especially active in behalf of their
candidates. It was given out yesterday
that while SandelI is the ostensible spon-
sor for Somers his support of the latter
is in the nature of a bluff, and that he
has not yet shown his hand, one reason
being, as stated by politician. that he
would like to have assurances of re-
appointment at the expiration Of his pres
ent term before acting.
Unless truce can be patched I'D with
the mayor both Ames and Pottgeiser Will
hold out for the selection of Oscar Clan
sen, who is the prime favorite and first
and last choice of his honor.
Mayor Kiefer insisted only last night
that Clausen was the right man for the
position on the score and merit, educa-
ton and experience, and If his influence
goes for anything he will be elected.
Yesterday the matter of paving Cedar
and Washington streets was Informally
considered, but no action can be taken
until after the meeting of the board OF
aldermen on April 4.

BOTH WANT DIVORCES.
Two Wives Claim That They Were
Deserted by Their Husbands.

Two wives who claim that they have
been deserted commenced suits in the dis
trict court yesterday for judicial separa-
ton from truant husbands. Mrs. Mary
L. Herman relates a sad story of her eX-
periences. She was married to William L.
Herman at Red Wing on Jan. II, 1882, and
lived with her husband until April l. 1897
when, she says, he went away and has
never come back. Furthermore, she al
leges that while be stayed at home he
was addicted to drinking and never con-
tributed either to the support of the
plaintiff or of her five children, of whom
the Oldest is now 16 years. Two of, the
children have been adopted and Mrs.
Herman asks the court to award her the
custody of the other three
According to the complaint filed by
Mrs. Anna E. Depew. her husband had
been married for twenty-three years be-
fore he finally became tired and went
away. The Depews were married on
April II, 1871, and lived together until the
fall of 1894, when the plaintiff AYERS that
her husband left her without having any
apparent reason for so doing. She be-
lieves that he is living in Washington
county at present. She has been support
ing herself and the children since the al
legged desertion and asks that she be
given the custody of her children.

Chief Schweitzer Is Of the opinion that
George Sametz, messenger boy well
known to the police here and wanted
for going through room at Mrs. Friends
boarding house, 2o4 East Tenth street. has
been arrested in Chicago on the charge
of highway robbery.
Sametz is sixteen years old and ia
known as the messenger sneak" on ac-
count Of his shady record. He has been
implicated in a number of police court
affairs here, and was arrested March 5
for taking purse containing SIS from
the Tenth street boarding house
He was confined In a cell at the central
police station, and upon being allowed
the freedom of the corridor by Jailer
Harris improved an opportunity offered
by the ja1ler's leaving the room for a few
minutes to open window in the front
or the building, force himself through and
escape by walking along the narrow ledge
below the window to the next building.
A stout stick which had been used as
lever to pry open the window was found
in the corridor.
The daring and successful jail-breaking
of the young criminal soon became
hHoNIl, put ne Nad secured the start of
the police officers and made good his
chances. He was traced to Dubuque, and
1t was thought at the time that he was
making his way to St. Louis
Nothing has been heard of the boy I'M
TIL recently, when word was received from
Chicago. that a boy giving his name as
c. j. Marston had been arrested in com
pany with a Chicago boy, Joseph Ford,
for holding UP a young woman on the
corner of Peoria street and Madison ave-
nue. in that city An account appeared
in the Chicago papers and upon reading
1t yesterday Chief Schweitzer exclaimed:
That's our boy who escaped from the
station herer'
The fact that Sametz was headed for
Chicago at the time he was last heard
from and the nature of the crime COM
mitted there strengthen this impression
In the room occupied by Marston, or
Sametz, as the case may be, a number
Of forged checks were found, and Joseph
Ford. Sametz' pal, admitted that they
were intended for immediate use He
also stated that, in company with Mar
ston, he had secured money by means
of forged paper before
The affair has attracted much attention
in Chicago, as Ford is heir to a fortune
of $4,000 left him by his foster father,
an old resident of the city, recently dead.
A picture of Sametz, with a detailed
description of his appearance, has been
forwarded to. the Chicago department.
and 1t Is thought will aid materially in
his conviction there. Chief Schweitzer
stated that he could be brought back
here on the charge of jail breaking. but

Deputy Sheriff Jansen Could Not
Find Weller Diamonds

The eleven large diamonds that have
disrupted the Weller family are still safe
~ tucked away somewhere and apparent
~ are beyond the reach of processes of
law. l.. S. Weller, the Minneapolis pawn
broker, who claims to have loaned the
sparks to his brother, Amasa Weller, pro-
prietor of the Wabasha street restaurant,
last Thursday swore out a writ of re-
plevfn which was placed in the hands Of
Deputy Sheriff Jansen for service. The
deputy proceeded to call on George w.
Dayton. cigar dealer at Seventh and
Wabasha. who denied knowing anything
about the stones. The first attempt made
to gain possession of the stones was last
week when L. 8. Weller tried without
success to replevin them from Amasa
Weller. The restaurant keeper however,
was forced to appear in district court
and disclosed that he had given the dia-
monds TO Dayton as security for a loan.
Now Dayton says he does not know
where they are. The stones are valued
at $40. according to the complainant.

MFRS. KITTsoN STILL GUARDIAN.
By Judge BazilIe's Order She Re-
tains Charge of Her Husband.

By Judge BaziIIe's Order She Re-
tains Charge of Her Husband.
Probate Judge BaZille yesterday con-
d1tionally granted the petition of Mrs.
violet *. KittsOn, asking for her reten-
ton as guardian of her husband Alfred
3, kttson, incompetent. She will, how
ever, be obliged to make good the claim
OF Fred Schroeder, amounting to 81 1891. n
to the allowance of which the court
thinks she should have objected in dis
trict court.
The petition was filed last Thursday and
yesterday morning Attorney John Ives ap-
peared for Mrs. kittson to receive the
decision of the court. He agreed on be-
half of his client TO the conditions i'm
posed on her retention of the trust No
money is to be expended on any account
whatever, without the direct order Of the
court. The order making a monthly al
lowance Of $165.66 to Ikittson Is rescinded
and he will hereafter be compelled to live
on the balance Of the $4,000 to be turned
over to the guardian after the small
claims against the estate are settled and
on the income of the 900 which Is in
the hands Of the ST Paul Trust company
as trustees under the will OF Norman w.
Kfttson.
In speaking Of his decision in the mat
ter Judge Bazille said yesterday: 81 de-
cided to retain Mrs. Kittson as guardian
at least until the estate Is closed I'D.
The smaller creditors, who hold claims
for less than $500. are clamoring for pay
ment and there are about fifty Of them.
The largest creditors have already been
paid under the 50 per cent compromise eff
fected in district court and it is only fair
that these others should be given their
money as soon as possible. If 1 had re-
moved Mrs KittSOn If would hava nea INF
delay of several weeks. She will be
I compelled to file a bond of at least
$4,000 before she is entitled to receive the
money from the trust company. I have
decided to do nothing further in regard
to the So per cent compromise, although
l still regard it as having been most I'M
wise"
