SUIT INSTITUTED.


Last summer Edward J. Lowe, a
jeweler and matchmaker of this city,
was drowned while bathing in the
Rappahannock river. He left farm
in Stafford county and some money
in bank. He was supposed to have
died intestate and his property went
to his father, w. =. Lowe, who quail
itied as administrator. Recently a
document was found in Mr.. loves
trunk which is thought to be his
will. The writing is with lead pen
Gil and on a sheet of letter paper.
1t reads as follows: 81,
March 20, 19o1.-Well, Katie is
going to be married this evening,
and if ! die before have any nearer
heirs ] want Katie to have all nv
property, as she has done more for
me than any of my sisters.
Signed by me, e. j. LOWE. .
Katie was his sister, Miss Katie
Lowe, who is now Mrs. Thomas p.
Hill, of Battery Park, Va, formerly
of Lancaster. There has been found
another will by Mr.. Lowe. This will
leaves all his property equally to his
father, brothers and sisters. Ii
bears date later than the will
which was found in his trunk. in
which he left his property to his
sister, Mrs. Kate Hill. The litiga-
tion over this property will be inter
