Mrs. Anna NoII Seeks to Probate
Important Paper.
CASE WAS TRIED THURSDAY
Document Purports to be a Codicil to the VIII
Of the Late lanes Wilson, Of Back
Greek Valley.
CASE WAS TRIED THURSDAY

In the Circuit court Thursday of
the case of Mrs. Anna Noll vs.. Mrs.
Bette 9. Wilson ct al was set for
o 80 o'clock. but owing to the inabil-
ity of important witnesses to appear.
bec1use of the almost impossible con-
dition of the county roads, the case
was postponed till..2 O'Clock Thursday
afternoon.
This case has some features of pc
culiar interest, involving the multi
ication OF a wilhdisposinr of proper
tv and cash to the value Of from 81 o.
600 to $40, 900. and 1.-THE distribution
of the estate into channels entirely
different from that intended bv the
will aleady probated. James Wilson,
a well-known farmer of the Back
Greek district, died in the winter of
1901, leaving q considerable sun of
money in cash and two or three
farms, the total value OF the estate
running from $40, 900 to SIS, 000. A
short time after. ibis death u will was
probated, bearing date Of March 10,
1900, in which the decenent de-
vised the greater portion Of his es-
tate to his son, James M. Wilson.
During the subsequent proceedings,
and before the property could be dis.
posed OF, a paper turned up in the
naeoncatnn ~ Mxr rUo NnIl a
daughter, written in the hand of the
decedent and signed bv him, in which
he makes an entirely different dispo-
sition Of his property. The paper
bears the date of June 8, 1900, three
months subsequent to the date of the
will admitted to probate.
This paper the plaintiff seeks to pro-
bate as either another will, or a cod
icil to the will, Of her father. The
paper in question is greatly discolor-
cd. apparently with q and much
handling. and n edge is worn en-
tirelv through where it has been fold
ed. Although bearing a date less than
three years ago, there are features
about it which cause the beneiciaries
of the will probated to fight its legali-
tv, and the suit is brought by Mrs.
Noll to force it's acceptance bv the
Probate court.
The suit Is an appeal from the Pro-
bate court. which refused to recognize
the paper as a legal document. Mrs.
Noll Is represented by Westenhaver.
Walker and Woods, while tbs defense
is being conducted bv Incles and
Lindsay. The jury is being made up
as we gosto press. 1t win be q pref
ty legal battle, and the outcome will
be watched with much interest.

.auguration of the new road law. Plans
and instructions were rome over, and
the change will be easily made from
