Mrs. Agatha Gluntz, Former Sister Of
Charity, Seeks to Break the viii
OF Leonard Thelen.
BROKEN vows LOSE Al FORTUNE
Father Who Was Strict Churchman. Cuts
OF Daughter Who Had Forsaken the
Vowsof the Sisterhood.

In the County court this morning
notice was fled that Mrs. Agatha
Gluntz, of Milwaukee, had appealed to
the Circuit court of the county to sec
aside the will of the late Leonard The
len, prominent farmer in the town of
Somers.
The will was admitted to probate in
the county court short time ago and
at that time there was no objection
made to the proving of the will but
during the last two weeks Mrs. G1untz
has employed attorneys and will make
an effort to have the will set aside and
the property of the former Somers man
divided equally among the heirs at
law. The story of Ethe contest is a
most interesting one as it tells the
story of young woman who lost the
right to large estate because she de-
sired to give up the vows of Catholic
sisterhood in order to be married.
Agatha Gluntz to- the people of Ke-
nosha county is knowns as Rose Eta
Thelen. She was the youngest daugh-
ter of Leonard Thelen and in early life
Mr.. The1en decided that she should be
siSter of charity. Miss Thelen was
placed in convent and IN due time
she was admitted to sisterhood and
was given the name of "Sister
Agatha She remained in the sister
hood for number of years, but before
the death of her father the yoke of the
sisterhood became CALLING to her and
she renounced her vows. The father
was strict Roman Catholic and on
account of the action of his daughter
in leaving the sisterhood he left her
only a pittance in the will. The prop
erty left by the deceased is valued at
from fifteen to twenty thousand dol
lars and the entire amount left to the
former sister of Charity is five hundred
dollars.
Shortly after leaving the sisterhood
Sister Agatha was married to a man
by the name of Glantz but she still re-
tanned the name that had been given
her by the sisters at the time she took
the holy orders and she brings her suit
under the name of Agatha Gluntz. 1t
is evident that the father never recog-
nized her withdrawal from the sister
hood or her marriage, as in his will the
money left to this daughter is left in
the name of Agatha Thelen, Sister
of Charity.
There are FIVE heirs at law to the es-
tate and Mrs. Gluntz will demand that
the Circuit court reverse the action of
the County court IN admitting the will
to probate ard provide for an equal
division of the estate among the heirs.
1t is expected that the case will be
bitterly contested by the other heirs.
Fred Doering, of Milwaukee, repre-
sents the interests Of Sister Agatha in
the case while the other heirs are rep
resented by Palmer & Cuttings. AS
the parties are we'll known in the town
of Somers the action of the former sis
ter of charity in attempting to break
the will has caused sensation.

IRRIGATION BIDS OPENED.
The Great Work That Will Make thousands of
Homes In Nevada.


The Interior Department at
Washington on July 18th, open
ed bids for the Construction of
thirty miles of canals, tunnels,
etc. for the diversion and convey
ance of water from the Truckee
River, between Clark's Station
and Wadsworth, to irrigate the
lands of the Truckee and lower

The specifications divide the
work into three divisions. The
bids of the Mahoney Brothers,

THf GAMBLERS OF the COMSTOCkS.

w n1le there never Was a Il1lS IN
the history of mining on the Pa
cifc Coast when conditions were
so favorable as at present; while
prosperity follows enterprise and
the earth is yielding it's golden
treasures while the attention
of the world is attracted to the
great and seemingly inexhausta-
BILE mineral belts of Nevada and
California, there is one incubus
which rests ON the breast of the
industry like the old man of the
sea, and like a frightful night
mare refuses to be shaken off.
1t was the evil genius of the
Comstock gambling pits which,
with it's poisoned wand a quar-
ter of a century ago, struck the
mining industry, dried up the
fountain of its life and paralyzed
kindred industries for many
years in consequence; it was
that foul progeny of unprinci-
pied pirates, conceived in infamv,
born in the vile pits of Pine
Street and Pauper Alley, nour-
ished by the milk of pollution, a
stream of stolen gold wrung
from the toller, the widow and
orphan, and cursed even in its
infancy by the imprecations of
its dying victims, for the pirates
of the Comstock bucket shops,
bv their nefarious methods of
robbing by assessment, have
filled more insane asylums and
suicides graves than has the
gilded palace of Monte Carlo, or
all the gambling hells of christ
endom.
This is a terrible indictment,
but it is true, and with its truth
staring us in the face, this foul
and loathsome ulcer which clings
tenaciously to the mining indus
try; which robs in its name and
flounts its crime in the face OF
law and society, is allowed to
exist in our midst
One of the leaders of the buc-
cancers of the bucket shops OF
Pine Street, was pictured in a
filthy sheet which feeds on shame
and crime recently as the king
of the Comstock." With the in
famous record of robbery before
us, if that is an appelation to be
proud of, then the scarlet woman
OF the brothel is queen and the
robber on the highway a hero,
for never was there such a vile
system of robbery as that winch
has been brought down to IAN
exact science by the blacklegs
and gamblers of the Comstock
Market, and within three de-
cades the public has been relieved
of over $1o5, 900, 900 in assess
ments and the major portion OF
the stock is held by the compa-
nies.
