WRECKING THE WILL OF Nj

WRECKING THE WILL OF Mrs
STUART.--The threatened contest OF the
will of the late Mrs. A. II. H. Stuart
has been commenced, and w. F. Ar
mold, sent out from Massachusetts
charged with diverting the dead wo-
mans disposition of her worldly effects
from her deliberately expressed intent,
has been filed in the Superior Court.
The usual allegation in such cases is
made, that deceased was not of sound
mind at the time OF making her will,
and that she was unduly influenced by
Mrs. Eva NJ. Cove and other beneti-
Charles in making il. The petitioners
represented by Attorney Arnold, are
]. G. Hunt, brother of Mrs. Stuart !;
the heirs of James Hunt, deceased
brother. and other minors, heirs and
next Of kin, residing in Massachusetts,
and the prayer is TO have the will de-
clared void, to depose Messrs. Phillips
and McElroy, named by deceased, as
executors OF her will, and appoint an
administrator of the estate. II the
petition is granted, probably the estate
will follow the usual course and yield
much oil for cormorants and very little
bone to the heirs.

PROBABLY DELIBERATE CANARD.
The Seattle Washingtonidn states,
on authority of Perry Clark, lum-
herman, that Tracey and Merrill, the
escaped convicts, are not far from
Olympia, making q Decline for the
Hoods Canal country, where they
doubtless expect to conceal themselves
in "the inaccessible ravines and caver-
nous lodges at the foot of the Olympic
mountains" Mr.. Clark claims to
have a personal acquaintance with
Merrill, but the account published
does not state that he has seen Merrill
in this neighborhood, or met anybody
else who has seen him. 1t is probably
a sensational statement, but it would
be well for people to keep a shotgun
behind the door, and forego for time
picnic excursions in the wildwood.

WoRKMEN at Baker City, Oregon,

ing under Lake Walmacue, a few days
ago, for irrigating purposes. 1t was
intended to extend the tunnel under
the lake. and then tap the bottom for
a flow by gravitation 10 the dry land
below. The accidental release of the
water was the result of a miscalcula.
ton of the depth of the lake, and
when an upper bore was started.
it was thought that about sixty feet
would have to be penetrated before a
flow would be tapped. 1t turned out,
however, that they struck pocket"
much nearer the tunnel, and the result
was a deluge OF water in q stream
about six feet in diameter. the work
men barely escaping with their lives.
Rock creek, the tributary adjacent to
the mountain lake, became a raging
torrent, and had it not been obstructed
by fallen trees, which in some degree
checked the rush of water, much dam.
age might have resulted to farms and
farm homes in its course. The lake il
now empty.

Tended the Italian government and
Capt. Dayton OF the Chicago, regard
ing the arrest OF sub-ofiicers belonging
to the warship while enjoying the lib
critics usually accorded to "sailors on
shore" 1t seems that Crowinshield
thinks that American sailors are as
privileged abroad as at home, when on
a carouse, and that Capt. Dayton
should take the same view of the mat.
ter. His language was so severe as to
elicit protest from the Italian AM

indicating the supercilious nature of

trivial in its merits and will scarcely
produce a ripple on the current Of
