Makers Of OVAL FAIRY SOAP.

Foster had declared that it was his in
tentiOn to leave all his property to his
old friend, Hank"
The witnesses in the case were r. E
Pierce and H. Roberts on behalf of the
plaintiff. There was no other evidence in
troduced.
Mr.. Pierce, a bank cashier in the bank
at Mt. Hope, testified that he was in
Dailey's bank at the time that Foster de-
posted his will in the bank. and he did
not remember that foster had ever taken
it out.
On cross-examination by Mr.. Haymaker
he said he had never seen the will, but
only the envelope that contained the will.
When Mr.. Roberts took the stand he
said he had known Foster for q long
while. and once, while they were talking
together about fire loss, Mr.. Heiser-
man suffered in 1892, the negro said that
Hank had certainly saved his life,
and that when 1 am done with this earth
my property goes TO Mr.. Heiserman."
The witness said the old man used the
word will or gift" the witness could
not remember which.
Mr.. Amidon based his argument on
Vim. Daily's deposition and therefore
asked that the VIII that was lost or de-
stroyed. be probated just the same as
though it were in evidence and present
and that the court name Mr. Heiserman
as the devisee or beneficiary.
Mr.. Haymaker declared that according
TO the deposition Of Mr.. Daily the wit
nesses TO the will were not present at
the same time with the testator, and
therefore even though the viii was in ex-
istence, it would not be a legal docu-
ment.
The case involves a nice point OF law in
reference TO lost wills and IS the f1rSS one
Of its kind to get into the probate court.

IN QUIET WAY
Mr.. Pulls WEBS
Was Married More Than a
Month Ago at Joplin.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
Met His Bride at the Home of
His Sister.

Tho friends OF George Pulls were sur
prised yesterday afternoon TO learn that
he has been married for more than a
month. although the fact was known to
but few people in the city. Scores Of
business men who regularly take their
meals at Mr.. Pulls restaurant were ig-
uorant of the marriage and the circum-
stances connected with it. Mr.. Pulls
claims that he made no effort to keep
his marriage secret. In that case the
secret was one that kept itself.
The beautiful young woman who was
wooed and won by Mr.. Pulls was Miss
Viola Hart of Joplin, Missouri. The
wedding was similar to those made at a
summer hotel. for there Mr. Pulls first
met MS future bride. Mrs. Minnie
Schott, sister of Mr. Pulls, is the
jandiady in charge of the Emporia Ave-
nue. hotel, and here her brother George
had rooms. Early last spring Miss VI
ola Hart Of Joplin, Missouri. became a
guest at the hotel and formed q warm
attachment for Mrs Schott. the Iandla-
dy. As MI. Pulls roomed at the hotel
st was not long before he YVES introduce
ed 10 the lady, but an intimate &C
ouaiutance between them did not az
once result. After staying in Wichita
about two weeks, Miss Hart returned
TO her Missouri home.
Late IN the summer she returned to
Wichita TO visit Mrs. Schott. During
this visit MI Pulls became better &C
Quainted with the fair guest of his sis
Ter. and determined to win her He
did not adopt the customary methods of
taking her to theatres and dances, but
as he was the guest Of the same hotel
he had no difficulty IN spending many
pleasant hours with her. After they
had been intimately acquainted about
ten weeks Mr.. Pulls proposed to Miss
Hart and was accepted.
Miss Hart remained in this city about
two months after her engagement and
then returned TO her home in Joplin.
Missouri.
About February Is Mr.. Pulls went TO
Joplin TO wed his adianced, and going to
a probate judge the happy couple were
pronounced man and wife. The wedding
was a great surprise to the friends of
AIRS. Puts IN Joplin. though her parents
knew it was going TO occur.
4 few days after the wedding Mr.. and
Mrs Pulls returned TO Wichita and took
rooms at the Emporia Avenue hotel.
About three weeks ago Judge Stanley
asked him # it was true that he was
married, and he admitted that it was.
Outside Of these however. few, if any,
knew OF the wedding until Yesterday.
Mr. Pulls owns a house on South To-
peka avenue, but il viii be some time
