Conductor Quackenbose OF the Great

The car was loaded with shingles
and was in the yards when 1t was dis
covered to be on fire. 1t was pulled
away from the other cars and efforts
made to e,ltinguish the fire. When
this was dcns II was discovered that
the car was loaded with shingles. and

Are was wholly extinguished the body
of man wis pulled out.
The remains were badly burned and

man remained. He was. however. dis

In the town during the day and who
had been drinking freely all day.
From the fact that pipe was found
along side OF him 1t was concluded
that he had set the fire by accident
as the shingles in the car would burn
readily. He is supposed to have crawl
ed into the car In an Intoxicated con-
idtion and while lighting his pipe. must
have In SOME way set Are to the shin

Story Of the Case.
Jurgen F. Broders was formerly a
school teacher in the city. He worked
hard and saved his money, invested II
carefully ana In years accumulated
quite fortune. amounting at the time
OF his death to about $4,000.
In 1884 he made will. leaving HIS
property, with the exception of be-
quests to his wife, to his nephews and
nieces. Afterwards he decided to set
tie his property on his heirs during his
lifetime rather than to wait until aftei'
his death. He accordingly made the
transfers and was in the act OF dispos-
Ing OF his property when he suddenly
died In September. 1897.
II his Mere. Mary schlicting. he had
left 5000. THIS was less than the
shares left 10 the other nephews and
~ all a
been disposed OF, the will was not CON :
eidered atltte time Of any great value.
In 1901. however. action was first
brought by Mrs. Schlicting, claiming
that she had not received the share In
the estate to which she was entitled.
She asked for the appoin tment Of w.
20. Schmidt n special administrator
and that the matter be brought into
court for settlement.
To simplify matters, the defense
brought the will into the litigation
setting It up to confirm the validity o.
their claims. The will had called for
8 disposal OF the property in much the
same manner. as the teslator had dis
posed of 1t In life.
Mrs. Schlicting claimed that the viii
had been made while the testator had
been in no condition to dispose Of his
property. that he was unduly infiu4
enced.
All other rpcints in the case were left
epen TO be settled after this had been
taken care. of. II his will is held tc
be good. 1t will settTe a.! other points
In the controversy. II not, the ques-
ton as to the power OF the special adj
ministrator will come I'D.
Owing to the prominence Of the rela-
Itives interested in the case and the
large amount of property involved, ths
case has attracted considerable attsn-
eion.
