WILL WAS DEFACED
FIGHT OVER ESTATE OF EDWARD
MCINTYRE.
HEARING BEFORE ORDINARY.
CAVEAT FILED BY WILLIAM r.
MCINTYRE.

Claims Paper Filed for Probate Was
Not the Last VIII of His Father.
Alleged That Signature of His Fa-
Their and the Names of witnesses
Were Erased, and That slips of
Paper Had Been Pasted Over POr-
tiOns of the WiII-Mrs. McIntyre'S
Explanation of the Slips of Paper.
In the Ordinary's office yesterday af-
ternoon a private hearing was held
for the probate of the will of the late
Edward Mcintyre. The will was filed
some time ago, and shortly thereafter
a caveat to its probate was filed by
Mr.. w. r. Mcintyre. son of the de-
ceased.
The caveat alleged that the will
which was filed for probate had been
revoked and was not the last will and
testament of Mr. Mcintyre. The
caveator based his objections on the
fact that the will offered for probate
had the signature of Mr.. Mcintyre
erased, as were also the names of
the subscribing witnesses.
Besides these erasures there were
other parts of the will which had
lines drawn through them while still
other portions had paper pasted over
them. On this paper was written
Leave two lines
These peculiarities were explained
by Mrs. Mcintyre, who insisted that
while the will offered for probate was
in fact the last will of her husband,
these slips were placed over it with
The object of Mr.. Mcintyre in FASTING
said, was to prevent the party draft
ing the instrument from knowing who
were to be the beneficiaries, the slips,
being placed in places where the
names of the beneficiaries were to APP
pear Mr.. McIntyre's idea, she said,
was that the will filed for probate
should be his last will and testament
until he made such new will.
Counsel for the caveator insisted
that under the law, among other ways
that a will could be revoked, was the
erasure or cancellation of a material
part of the instrument, and commended
that the signatures of the testator and
witnesses were about the most ma
terial part of will.
The hearing was not concluded, but
will be resumed this afternoon. There
were quite a number of parties at in
terest at the hearing, among them be-
ing Mrs. Mcintyre and the eaVeator,
w. r. Mcintyre, the son of the tesla
tor. Eleven parties were represented

FOUGHT TWICE And WON
TWO MEN DEFEATED BY BANTAM
WEIGHT CHAMPION FORBES.
George Halliday Knocked Out i'm Two
Minutes and Billy Finucane
Bested I'm Six Rounds.

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Harry Forbes, the
bantam-weight champion, met two men in
the same ring here tonight and defeated
both. His opponents were George HALL
day. of New York. and Billy Finucane.
of Chicago. Each contest was scheduled
for six rounds. Halliday met Forbes first
and was knocked out after two minutes of
fighting I'm the first round. Halliday was
badly outclassed and succumbed to a right
swing on the jaw.
After Forbes had rested few minutes
his second opponent Finucane, faced the
champion. Finucane managed to last the
six rounds, but was in bad shape and
Forbes was given the verdict. Finucane
is young and had fully five pounds the
better of the weights, but Forbes's clever
ness easily Offset this advantage. Forbes
used left jab coupled with a right hook
to the jaw that had his opponent in trouble
before the end of the second round. Finu-
cane was put down for d count of nine in
the third round. The bell saved him from
a knockout in the next round, as he was
lying on the floor in helpless condition at
the end of the round. Finucane was
knocked down twice in the next round, but
resorted to clinching and succeeded in last
ing out the round. In the last round
Forbes tried hard to finish him, but Finu-
cane just managed to stay through the
round. He was all but out when the final
bell rang and had to be assisted to his cor
ner.
