CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS.
Suit on a BOnd-A Warmly Contested VIII
Case.

The Circuit Court was engaged on Friday
and Saturday of last week in hearing evidence
in the case of Grove A. Shipley against Irene
c. Bennett, Administrative of Pinkney j.
Bennett Shipley sues to recover S4OO on a
bond given to indemnity him for the sale of u
portable engine on skids.' Senator Bennett
held a mortgage upon real estate of George
Pickett, which he assigned to Shipley, the
engine in question having been located upon
the land and covered it was supposed, by the
assignment. The bond was given to indem-
Nifty Shipley if the engine should be sold by
the mortgagor This occurred, and now the
plaintiff is SUING to recover on the bond.
The argument in the case was postponed IN
order to take up a will case. Reitsnider 4
Grimes and Thomas represent the plaintiff
and Bond & Parke the defendant.
On Monday the case of Mary Nj. Myers,
wife of John I. Myers, Abraham Miller and
Albert Miller, caveators, against Geo. X.
Gehr and Jonas Bachman, executors of the
will of John II. Miller The caveators in the
case are the children of the testator. Their
father died last summer, leaving will which
practically leaves his estate to the executors
ia trust for them during their lifetime, and
then to their children, the testator's grand
children, upon certain conditions There are
several specific requests. He leaves to his
daughter. Mrs Mary NJ. Myers, and to
his son, Albert Miller, each 1922. 10, to make
them equal to his son, Abram Miller, who had
received that amount in excess of The others
during the testator's lifetime He bequeaths
in trust, as stated, for the use Of Mrs. Myers
during her lifetime, and then TO her children
upon the conditions alluded to, farm Of 50
acres; for the use Of his son, Abraham Miller,
in the same manner during his lifetime, and
then 10 his children. upon the conditions
mentioned farm Of lO6 acres, and for the use
of his son Albert, during his lifetime and then
to his children, upon same conditions, the
sum of s., 900. The remainder Of the estate
is left upon n similar trust for the benefit OF
the testator's children during their lifetime,
and then 10 his grandchildren, conditions as
aforesaid.
The estates is valaed at $4,000, of which
SO, 600 is personal and s20. 600 real property.
The ground alleged for the eayeat is iucom-
potency and mental inability to make a valid
will at the time Of the execution Of that IN
strument. January %, 1898 The will was
admitted to probate without opposition Aug
ust IA. 1899. Great interest attaches TO the
trial aud every day the court house has been
crowded with spectators. Over one hundred
witnesses were summoned, and II Is thought
the trial will consume the entire week.
