THE sUB1ETT CASE.
Battle for an Enormous Estate on in
St. Louis-There are Mexico Heirs.

The famous sublett will case began
In st. Louis before Judge Wood Tues
day. The history Of this remarkable
case is lengthy and theys are many
sidss to 1t. The real case on trial now
Is a suit in ejectment.
The question Of the authenticity Of
the alleged will OF Solomon sublette,
which has been in Probate Court for
several years, will not come up during
the trial Of the pending cases. The
plaiutiffs are suing as descendants of
PInkney Sublette, heir at law of Solo,
mon Sublette, and not as the heirs of
Pinkney sublette, residuary benefici-
airy Of the purported will OF Solomon
Sublette.
Among the evidence that the plain
tins have collected in support of their
claim Z q slab and q skeleton taken
from 3 grave supposed to be that Of
Pinkney Sublette in Wyoming. The
slab bears Sublette's initials and the
date Of his death. The latter IL Inn
portant and goes to the gist OF the
action, for Il must be shown before
the plaintiffs can establish their claim,
that Pinkney was living At the time of
the death Of Solomon Sublette. The
slab from Pinkney's alleged grave
shows that he died In 1856. The death
of solomon sublette occurred in 1857.
The death OF Pinkney sublette, 4o-
cording to the slab, was ALTO subse-
|queDt to that Of Frances Sublette, the
lineal heir Of Solomon, and therein lies
the basis OF the PLANTING claim.
The alleged grave Of Pinkney Sub
lette was found by VIM, Mckinney, OF
this city, who searched for months In
the West to establish the time Of
Pinkney Sublette's death. He brought
his alleged evidence to Missouri and
told of his efforts to discover the
evidence of the time OF death. Later
NC IGRuotutC1 bnc heutoh4ohto VI hAo
finding ard said he had planted the
headstone himself.
It seems that the issue is whether
Plnkney Sublette died before his
brother, Solomon, who left him a large
estate in st. Louis county. II Pinkney
died before Solomon the property was
to revert to Solomot.is next kin on his
fathers side.
The property involved is bounded
by Kings Highway, cid Manchester
road, Sublette avenue and the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad tracks. 1t was
known for years as The suhlette farm.
Among the wner Of the property
whose interests will be lost II the de-
eisions Of the pending cases are in
favor Of the plaintiffs are George Q.
Thornton, the Carondelet Foundry
Company, ex-Gov. David r. Francis
and Congressman Richard Bartholdt.
II they r ousted property rights
dating from 1860 will be set aside.
among the heirs r Mrs. Mamie
Wilburn, formerly of this city, and
James Sublette.
