MISS WILSON'S REQUEST.
Church of Holy Comforter Will Get
 the Property The Willed It.


 The Supreme Court decision of Tues day, affirming the decision of the Probate Court which rejected the will of Miss Julia Wilson, caused considerable com ment in Montgomery yesterday, espe- cially among the members of the Episco- pal Church. Under the terms of the re- jected will, the Church of the Holy Com forter was to receive property amounting to about $10,oo0
 The erroneous impression was created to certain extent that Rev. Stewart McQueen, rector of the church now and at the time the will was made, was a beneficiary of the bequest. This is alto gether wrong. MT. Mcqueen was acting solely as rector and the entire bequest was made to the Church of the Holy Comforter.
 Attorneys for the relatives of Miss Will son have stated that the property will now be deeded to the church according to the expressed desires and intention of the testatrix.

and it Is questionable if the poison can
be eliminated from the system by its
use. Where impaction is known to
exist there is little effect to be had from
medicine and the operation of rumenot-
omy should be performed without loss
of time. 1t is always best to employ a
veterinarian to perform the operation,
which consists in opening into the
paunch and removing large quantity
of food, after which the wounds in the
skin and stomach are stitched up and
the animal fed upon soft food until
healed. In corn stalk disease place ice

A very sad death occurred at the
home of VIM. Skidmore, about two
miles north of town, yesterday after
noon. Mrs. Skidmore was out of the
house for few minutes attending to
some chores, and her boy aged five or
six years was left in the house in charge
of ten months old babe. The boy got
hold of some matches and was cutting
the heads off of them with a pair of
scissors. A spark flew up and lit the
lace curtains, which burned to the pole
and fell down on the top of the babe on
the floor, igniting its clothing. The
babe was fearfully burned, and by the
time the mother came into the house
again it was in its death agonies, death
coming in short time. The funeral
will be held tomorrow from the home.
VIM. Skidmore, the father, is engineer
at the Inland Coal Company's new
mine northeast of the city and was
working at the mine at the time of the
accident. The family recently moved

MORE TROUBLE FOR UMPIRES
National League Makes Him Judge
Whether Batsman Tries to Escape
Being Hit by the Bali.

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Chicago, April 23.-One of the new
rules under which the Western league
will play this year and which has al
ready caused considerable discussion Is
the one providing that a batter hit by
a pitched ball shall not be allowed to
take his base, but must remain as be-
fore, the delivery being counted simply
as ball. George Tebeau, at Kansas
City, says he thinks the new rules arr
fair but that they should be further
amended and that either the batter OF
the pitcher should be fined IS for each
offense, the umpire to decide the guilty
party. The National league has, accord
ing to report, already voted to amend
this clause by return to the old rule
giving the player his base for being hit
by the ball, unless the player plainly
avoids any attempt to get out Of the
way of the ball. AS the Western league
is playing under the National league
rules it is probable the former will also
accept the modification. In this event,
however, the troubles Of the umpire are
only further increased, as he will have
to judge what constitutes an effort to
evade the pitched ball.

Roberts is said to be a player of consld-
