TWENTY YEARS SERVICES.
Their Value Is the Cause of Rather Sem
satiOnal Suit.

Their Value Is the Cause of a Rather SEN
sational Suit.
Mount Pleasant, Ia, Oct. 20.-A SEN
sational law suit has just been filed in
the district court here by J. G. Whit
ford, a nephew Of ex-United States
Senator James Harlan, who died Oct.
8, 1899, and left no will. Whitford now
brings suit against the estate for the
sum of S27, 900, which he alleges is due
him for business services rendered to
Senator Harlan in a period Of twenty
years. Whitford alleges that Senator
Harlan did leave will, but thinks it
has been suppressed. The residue OF
the estate went to the senator's only
daughter, Mrs. Robert L. Lincoln, Of
Chicago who is the Administrative Of
the estate She will be the defendant
in the suit.
Whitford says his uncle often spoke
of his will, and had intended to provide
handsomely for him. Bishop c. G. Nc
Cabe, of the Methodist church, is said
to have been told by the senator, a
short time before his death, that in
his will he would leave a certain sum
of money to endow the Iowa Wesleyan
university of that city, an institution
of which Senator Harlan was the first
president. All these matters will be
brought out in the law suit.
