LONGING FOR HOME.
Soldier Mcdonnell Declares It Is No
Picnic

W. ]. Mcdonnell of this city is in
receipt of two interesting letters f-o-:l
his son, Noble a. Mcdonnell of battery
A, Utah volunteers. Mcdonnell says in
one of his letters:
Fighting these natives is no sport or
child's play. The people in the United
States who think we are hunting rab-
bits or surrounding small bands of de-
fenseless natives and simply shooting
them in cold blood to satisfy our thirst
of revenge for insults offered us by the
insurgents before this commenced, let
those people shoulder a gun, come to
this most forsaken land and subdue
these peaceful natives
''Malolos and Malabon are now in our
hands, and trains are running regularly
to above cities, which were Aguinaldo S
headquarters. Heaven only knows
where he is now, he being too wise ever
to allow one of our boys to get shot at
him.
Yesterday was Good Friday so I
made a cross on a bareback; tomorrow
is Easter; will have eggs, 1 don't think.
Health of Utah boys is generally good,
our food fair, and we entertain hopes
of our departure at an early date. The
Seventeenth, Twentieth, Twenty-sec-
ond, Fourth and Third infantry regu-
lars, have arrived; some of them are
on the firing lines, and are getting a
taste of Filipino fighting"
The writer closes hoping to see home
July 4, at the very latest.

ing real property valued at about S35,
GOO. Subsequently Mrs. Brain married
man named Myers, and a short time
ago she filed a petition in the probate
division of the district court asking
permission to sell certain personal
property included in the estate. The
other heirs filed a petition Immediately
asking Mrs. Brains removal as admin
istratliX. On this petition the case
came up before Judge Hiles yesterday
The petition makes many charges
against Mrs Myers. 1t accuses her
with seeking to dispOssesS the estate OF
the Brain homestead and have it set
apart for herself and with paying her
self an excessive allowance of SO a
month. 1t further states that unless
Mrs. Myers is removed, there will be
little left of the entire estate to dis
tribute. Regarding her petition for per-
mission to sell part of the personal
property, it states that she has now in
her hands more than $500, which is
more than sufficient to defray all the
expenses of settling the estate.
Mrs. Myers was on the stand most of
yesterday afternoon. She was not very
certain to the amount she had received
from the estate, but thought it would
not exceed $500. She denied specifically
the charges that she was dissipatins

of the fact that their claim was not rec

EDhraim, May 5-The case of Hannah
NJ. Christensen, Administrative of the
estate of JOSEPH Christensen, deceased,
vs.. RasmuS Clawson and James Arm

on account of having been attorney for
the estate at one time.
The plaintiff in the action is the wife of

Rasmus Clawson, the principal defendant.
ClaWSon, ii Will be remembered, myS-

ago. and nothing has been heard from him
since. He was administrator of the es-
tate of Joseph Christensen, deceased, at
the time and the plaintiff claims he got
away with $500 or $50 belonging to the
estate.
The suit is brought against him and his
bondsmen TO recover the amount of the
alleged shortages.
A feature of the case will be the effort
of Ole OleSen. one of the defendants, to
be relieved from any responsibility in the
case. Mr.. Olesen says he never signed
the bond of defendant Clawson and that
the signature on said bond is a forgery.
His name is signed as a surety TO the
bond between the names of the other two
bondsmen. but in the body of the instru-
ment his name does not appear.

ed by Reid & Cherry of Mant and Raw
Inns, Thurman az Hurd will look after Mr..
