sci for Mrs. Scanlon to be I'm the nature
OF cross bill, and by II the administra-
tor on the estate of Patrick Scanlon was
sought to be restrained from collecting
some rents. amounting to slS a month.
The cases proved interesting. Some
eight years before his death Patrick
Scanlon OF Bristol married the woman
who now claims his property He had
brother and also a daughter by a for
mer marriage. II was asserted today on
the one side that the deceased was then
living alone. but on the other side IL is
asserted his daughter lived with him. His
widow. Elizabeth. declares that Patrick
agreed II she would marry him to give
her all his property. She. because or
this promise and other reasons, did marry
him, and that for years she not only took
care Of her husband and nursed him dur
ing many sicknesses, but she managed
the property as her own.
Mrs. Scanlon claims she saved lots or
money and made lots OF IT for her hus-
band, and that he gave her his bank
BOOK. AT the time OF his marriage Mr..
Scanlon had a deposit in the Bristol In
sutution for Savings. but some seven
months after his marriage he transferred
u TO the names Of Patrick or Dennis ~
Scanlon. -
1t is claimed by Mrs. scsnlon that she
knew nothing Of this change until her
husoand death Charles =. Robinson
eouhsel Tor Mrs. Scanon. claimed that she
had been most outrageously used by the
way her husbands agreement was not
kept He did not excuse her husband
OF intending 10 trick her, but said at the
time the husband would be inclined 10
do justice he was too weak In body and
mind 10 do so.
judge Tillinghast argued that there
could be no motion in the nature OF a
cross bin In case where a bill OF inter
pleader was filed. He also argued that
the court had no right to give the widow
the rents. The only bill before the court.
Mr Tillinghast claimed. was the one to
decide whom a certain deposite belonged
TO that was I'm the Industrial Trust com
pany's bank He intimated that the con.
tractreferred 20 as pre-nuptial contract
was void because not evidenced I'm writ
ing.
MI hoolnson III reply said that Mrs.
Scanlon had done her part and the con-
tract was not effected by the statute OF
frauds. He showed that Police Can
tam Morrissey of Bristol had sought 10
help the administrator Perry To collect
rents on Mrs. Scanlon's property Perry
should. according 20 Mr. Robinson. de-
vote his time to finding out who the
money In the bank belonged to II was
needed 20 pay Patrick Scanlon's debts
"a ~ q On
Scanlop's dover amounted to many
times the rent for several months
The two counsel had prolonged ar.
guments over many features OF the case
Judge Wilbur finally granted the TO-
straining order and Mrs. scanlon Will |
collect her rents without molestatIon /
from the administrator OF any one else.

BOSTON MOUNTAIN RAILWAY.

West Plains, Aug. 10.-A survey was begun Monday of railroad that means a great deal to North Arkan- sas, and which will eventually be a great benefit to Southern Missouri, for it is the beginning of line which will be an extensive system in the end. The survey now being made is from Buffalo river via Rush to St. Joe, in Searcy county, Arkansas. Major. J. F. Brooks is chief engineer in charge of the surveying party, with Walter B. Harris as assistant.
 A charter for this road was issued last February by the secretary of state at Little Rock, and it is known as the Boston Mountain Railway Company. It is capitalized at $10O,00O, which has all been paid up, and which is the es- timated cost of construction. The directors of the company are E. O. Cook of Buffalo City, P. H. Gehr, AL bert Carver, Beulah E. Curlee, w. H. Brown and P. E. Bratten, of Mountain Home; w. B. Harris, John Tlapek, Leon J. Albert, Cape Girardeau; A. R. Ponder, Walnut Ridge. There are a number of other stockholders whose names are withheld from the public.
 At the present time the line is to be surveyed and construction begun in a short time from Buffalo City to St. Joe, distance of fifty miles. The line is to connect the White River road with the St. Louis & North Ark ansas line now building southward from Harrison to Marshall. It will traverse a country rich in mineral and oy far the greatest zine producing sec tion of North Arkansas.
