CITY BUSINESS.
Regular Monthly Meeting Of the
Council.

.
The November meeting of the city
council was held Monday evening
and the greater part OF the time was
taken up with the matter Of unpaid
paving certificates, the amounts OF
which the property owners had paid
to D. Q. Waggoner, former city clerk
and held his receipt therefor. The
amounts paid had not been paid to
the certificate holders and hence the
property had been advertised for
sale by the treasurer of the county.
The gentlemen appearing were Thos.
Sewers, VIM. L. Pearson, Winter,
M. O'Carroll, John p. Hiatt, Richard
Burke, Major McMullin and Phil
Swayze. These gentlemen re present
ed eighteen property holders whose
property had been advertised for
sale on this account. The gentlemen
demanded that the city pay back the
money. Mr.. Preston said that the
city was not bound to pay the money
back to the property holders repres-
ented and that their relief was to be-
come parties to the suit in the dis
trict court, now pending, in which
Mrs. McPherrin sues for the return
of money paid by her.
The city took another step to pro-
teet the property owners and that
was to recommend to the board of
supervisors that their property be
not sold for the amount in contro-
versy.
The same recommendation was
made concerning the property OF Mr..
Friend on account of water assess
ment.
The monthly list of claims amount
ing to S2,564.2O was allowed and war
rants authorized by the council.
Eleven persons making affidavit of
inability to work road tax were ex-
empted.

DISTRICT COURT.
The Lundy Will Case an Unusual
Contest

The Lundv will case which has &C.
cupied about seven days in court has
developed into an unusual contest for
civil case. The parties in the case
live in Richland township. In 1895
Mrs. Nancy Lundy died, leaving a
will made in 1895 which gave her son
Lafayette Lundy all her property.
Another son, Milton Lundy and her
daughter Mrs. r. Kisor are sueing to
have the will set aside and to share
in the property.
In 1892 Mrs. Lundy made contract
with Mr.. Kisor, by the terms of which
he was to take care of her the rest of
her life, and for this and for the adj
ditional compensation of 1900 he
was to have her property, valued at
$4,000. About two weeks afterwards
Mrs. Lundy recinded this contract,
and Mr.. Kisor returned the deeds
but retained the other papers. In
1895 as is claimed by the plaintiffs
Lafayette Lundy secured the services
of DIR. Kimball, sof Pella, to draw up
a will making him the sole heir. This
is the instrument the other children
are attempting to have set aside, they
claiming that undue influences were
brought to bear on the old lady to
have her sign the papers.
The attorneys in the case are Boil
ton & Bolton and Mccoy & Mccoy
for the contestants and l.. C.Blanch-
ard and Liston McMillen for the de-
tense. The evidence was all in Mon
day afternoon and the pleadings to
the jury were commenced.
