j. Frank Springfield, superintendent
of the Ottumwa Traction & Light Co.,
states that in all probability the com
pany's track extension in the West
End will be ready for use one week
from next Saturday, although it is not
thought that cars will be run over the
new track until shortly after that time,
The work which has been done on this
extension has been fast and would
have been faster had it not been for
the necessity of building bridge
across Harrow's branch. This took ex
ira time, but was finished yesterday
The extension will be about one and
one-sixth miles in length.

Will OF COL. M'KAY ON
ITS WAY TO OKLAHOMA
Judge Cole Doubts Whether
He Was a Millionaire.
Mr. Woodard Leaves Town and Be-
Eeved to Have Instrument With Him
Letter From Second Wife.

The Will of the late Col Nathanie,
Mckay is understood to be on its way
to Oklahoma in the possession of Mr..
Henry F. Woodard. who is one OF the
executors of the estate.
II is said that Mr.. Woodland proposes
to offer the document in Guthrie for pro-
bate. and have an attested copy sent
here for filing.
At Mr.. Woodard's office yesterday it
was stated that he had left town, but his
destination was not made public.
From another source 1t was learned that
the executors intend filing a certified
copy of the will here simultaneously
with the filing of the testament at Guth-
rie.
Judge C. c. Cole. who is the attorney
CT Colonel McHay's daughters. when
asked yesterday as to the amount
of money which Colonel Mckay left, ex-
pressed a. doubt as to whether he was

1t is said that Mrs. Jennie Pope. Nc
Kay. subsequent to the decree of di-
vorce granted by the Oklahoma court,
wrote a somewhat bitter letter to the
dge who granted the divorce. in which
she practically acknowledged it's valid
ity. This letter. however. would have
no legal bearing on the validity of the
divorce.
