BREAK A WILL
Heirs of Catherine Won
derIy M Ike the Atte m pt.

Some of the heirs of Catherine Won
derly, of Canton, have filed petition
in common pleas court to break the Will
and make an equal distribution of the
property belonging to the estate. The
action was brought by Amelia McCaf.
ferty and Nellie Seller, both daughters
of the deceased. They are represented
in the action by Attorney james A..
Rice.
The petition. which was filed Tues
day morning, states that the will was
admitted to probate October 20, 1901.
The parties aver that the instrument
was not the legal will of Mrs. Won
derly for the reason that she was at
the date upon whictr 1t was made and
had been for year prior thereto, not
of sound mind and memory, but by rea-
son of protracted pain and sickness
and eXtereme age, was mentally inca
pactiated from making will. 1t is al
so claimed that she was coerced into
signing the paper by the influence of
the defendants, who are also children
of Mrs. Wonderly.
The defendants named are Louisa
Albinger, Clara Biechele, EdW ard Won
derly, Frances Whitmer and others. 1t
is alleged that the latter two for about
year continually harassed end an.
noyed the mother and thus persuaded
her to make her will in favor of the
defendants and against the rights AMI
interests of the plaintiffs. 1t is asked
that the will be set aside.
A copy of the will is made a part
of the petition. Amelia McCafferty re-
ceived few household goods as her
portion, while all that Nellie Seller
got was 81. The claim is made that
the estate was worth $2,5O0, which was
divided among the other heirs.
PROBATE COURT.
In the estate of Louisa Reigler, OF
Canton, John II. Krumlauf has been
appointed administrator with the will
annexed.
In the estate of Philip Yoder, OF
Washington township, new bond has
been filed and approved.
In the guardianship of the Schumach,
er heirs, of Washington township, the

(From a Staff Correspondent

(Fr0m stan correspondent
Columbus, Dec. 17.-Hon. Joseph P.
Byers, secretary of the board of state
charities, will leave Thursday at noon
for Massillon, where he will take part
in the exercises incident to the dedica-
tion of the Mckinley building at the
Massillon state hospital.
Secretary Byers thinks it highly
probable that the legislature will allow
the appropriation of $$25,577 asked for
the care and maintenance Of the Mas
sillon state hospital. Governor Nash
has passed on this sum and Mr.. Byers
thinks he will urge in his message to
the legislature that it be allowed. The
amount asked for the institution two
years ago was cut down considerably
by the general assembly on account of
the hue and cry raised that the trustees
wanted a large sum with which to erect
a commodious structure, the use of
which was not deemed imperative at
that time.
Cover nor Nash lett Monday afternoon
to attend the dedication fefi the Ohio
monument at Andersonville. He will
return Friday-too late to be present
at the Massillon event.
