A BISHOPS TROUBLE.
Must Show Cause Why He is Not in Con-
tempt of Court.

tempt of Court.
The Kingwood, w. Va, argus says:
Bishop P. J. Donahoe, of Wheeling,
and well known here has been sum-
moned into court at Kingwood to
show cause why he should not be fin
ed or jailed.
Frank H. Zotz succeeded in break
ing the will of John Zotz, who died at
Terra Alta, w. Va, leaving half of
his estate to the Catholic church at
Terra Alta. Bishop Donahoe and
William Il. White are executors. Iotz
in his will left the other half of his es-
tate to be divided equally among Mrs.
Thomas Welsh, Thomas Kellar and
Colonel James W. Brown, of King
wood, who befriended Zotz when he
went to Terra Alta many years ago.
Frank H. Zotz, a nephew, left out
in the cold, contended in court that
the part of the will giving half of the
property to the church was illegal,
and the court held the contention
good, In the meantime the property
was sold and the proceeds, So, 200, put
in bank for distribution. The court
ordered the 81, 800 willed TO the church
to be paid Frank H. Zotz. Mr.. White,
the co-executor, told the court he was
willing to distribute the money but
Bishop Donahoe refused to cooperate
hence the rule laid on the latter to
appear in March.

"As a consequence knowledge of all
theories and practices which make
for better fruit growing are being

that spraying for the control of in

And the sun shines and the road Shines and the
