ing OF an instrument purporting to be a

September, has introduced complications in
the settlement Of the estate by John
Breeder, who was named as executor under
another will, which was admitted to pro-
bate soon after the death of Cole
Last Wednesday Samuel Odle, of Leaven-
worth, received letter from English con-
tanning the alleged WILL which was drawn
I'D by Attorney w. II. Byrum. of English.
and witnessed by H. j. Green, Of that place.
The letter stated that the person who
mailed the will to him had entered the
home of Cole a few nights before his death
and had taken money and valuable papers
and as the will was of no value TO him he
decided to turn it over to Odle. The latter
in turn gave the will to S. d. Alexander,
who was named as executor of the estate
in the instrument, and Alexander sent Ii
to the county clerk at English. Attorney
John H. Weathers, of this city, who drew
the will naming John Breeder as executor,
went to English to obtain affdavits from
Attorney Byrum and Green, who state that
Cole had the second will written, but after
having IL read to him decided not to ac-
cept it and declared he would destroy 1t.
Cole left an estate of $50, 900, which goes
to relatives with the exception of an island
in the Ohio river, which was given TO the
