RESERVED DECISION.
Question of Execution of Power in
Lane Will Case.

Chancellor Nicholson reserved his
decision in the case of Fannie 5. Lane
administrative VS.. Martin Lane, trus-
tee. The plaintiff is the administrators
of Jesse Lane, son Of Augustin ).
Lane. Augustin's father, Jesse Lane,
was prominent as q lumber merchant
and left an estate valued at 100000;
he died in 1881. hlartin Lane, the de-
fcndant is the son and trustee. Jesse
Lane, the elder, by his will, gave to
Edward Bringhurst, Jr., $4,000 in
trust for Augustn S. Lane, Jcsse's
son, during his life, and at his death
it was to 60 to such persons AS Angus
tin $. Lane, by his WILL should appoint
to receive the same, and in default of
such appointment, it was to go to the
children of Augustin s. Lane.
Edward Bringhurst, Jr., renounced
the trust, and Martin Lane was ap-
pointed trustee in his place.
Augustn S. Lane, while living in
Pennsylvania in 1890, made IL will in
which he did not refer to the will of
his father or to the power given him
by his fathers will. or to the property
which was the subject of the power.
Under the statute in Pennsylvania,
passed in 1879, unless q testator ex-
pressly declares in his will thnt he does
not intend to exercise the power, it is a
good execution of the power. The mat
ter presented before the chancellor was
whether the will Of Augustin s. Lane
was a good execution Of the power.
The suit Is for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the opinion of the chancellor
and not because of disagreement among
the parties.

HU NTING
DESPERADOES

Little Mountain. O., April "a large
posse Of farmers, armed with shotguhs
and accompanied by dogs, is searching
the surrounding country for three men
who riddled the house of John Lemon
with bullets.
While the Lemon family was enter
tanning some neighbors three men, sup
posed to be members of the gang that
robbed the Chardon bank. raped at
the door of the Lemon home and asked
for food and drink. Upon being refus-
ed the strangers drew revolvers and
began to fire rapidly into the house.
One bullet ripped through Lemons coat
between his arm and his body. More
shots followed in rapid succession, the
bullets crashing through doors and
windows, breaking pictures and lamps.
Lemon and his guests were unarmed,
and all made a hasty exit via rear
door, clambel1ng over fences and
through fields, to neighboring house.
At daybreak Lemon returned to his
house to find his household effects
turned topsy turvy and 500, all the
money he had. missing. Meanwhile the
country for miles around had been
aroused. and farmers turned out with
their dogs and guns.
1t is supposed that the robbers lay
hidden in some barn or in one of the
many thickets or gullles in this section
all day. The country is now so thor
oughly aroused that there is good rea-
son for believing the men will be cap
tured
The searchers are in dangerous
temper aud will not hesitate to shoot
down the desperadoes on sight If they
make any move to resist.
