SAYS FLETCHER
ACTED UNFAIRLY
Niece of His Mother-in.Law
Asks Court for an Ac.
counting

Sarah Hill, of West Gouldsborough,
Hancock county, Me-, has filed a petit
ton in the probate court asking to have
Congressman elect Loren Fletcher re-
moved as administrator of the estate of
the late Hedida E. Easter, her aunt,
and Mr.. Fletcher's mother-in-law.
Mrs. Easter made her home with Mr..
Fletcher from June Is, 1887, to April
g. 1897, when she died. In her will
executed Jan. 20, 1892, she made the
congressman her executor without
bonds ard willed to him her entire es-
tate with the exception of bequests
amounting to $2,500 The bequest to
the petitioner was $500.
The petition asserts that Mr.. Fletch-
er presented a claim of his own which
more than consumed the entire estate.
His claim was for $17,512.04, and as a
result there was a balance due from
the estate to him of $1,0S9.72. His
claim included medical attendance,
nursing and board for nearly ten years,
amounting to $11,S50
According to the petition the con-
gressman- select charged the estate with
500 a month for board and room, when
half that sum would have been suffi-
cient to cover all expenses.
The estate is said to have been val
ued at $4,000 and the allowance of a
claim in excess of it's value was suffi-
cleEt to cut off all bequests. The petit
toner asserts that it was improper to
permit Mr.. Fletcher to act as creditor
and administrator and that he never
filed an inventory as required by law.
1t is also alleged there was no notifi-
cation of the probation of the will, ex-
cept by publication in Minneapolis
weekly newspaper. although Mr.
Fletcher was aware of the whereabouts
of the petitioner and that on Dec %,
1902, he answered a letter of inquiry in
which he is said to have denied knowl-
edge of any will or bequests. Letters
written after that time were not an
swered, according to the statement
made in court.

The two Republican papers of Min
neapolis were thrown into a panic last
night and printed lurid stories to the
effect that special policemen had been
engaged to watch the Office of the city
clerk for the purpose of preventing any
tampering with the returns.
: The fact of the matter is that po-
liceman has been detailed to watch on
the second floor of the city hall for the
purpose of giving alarm I'm the event
of fire in order that the proper officers
may be notified In time TO remove the
returns before they are consumed.
City Clerk Lydiard has had a man at
work tabulating the returns from the
preliminary sheets and he asserts they
are accurate and there will be little for
the council committee to do other than
to o K the figures which he has pre-
pared.
There is a probability that the tabu-
lation of the city clerk will be passed
to one side and the committee ap-
pointed to canvass the returns will be
compelled to perform the duty for
which it was ppointed-canvass the
returns as they are taken from the en-
velopes.
p There has been so much volunteer
service on the part of the Republicans
that the Democrats are becoming sus-
picious and they will Insist that the
vote be tabulated from the returns as
they are opened and reed. and not from
any pre-arranged sheets which may
have been prepared by any Republican
official.
The city canvassing board meets to-
morrow and there is every prospect
that each return will be scrutinized
carefully before the figures are placed
on the tally sheets.
Although the adherents of the Re-
publican candidates claim a victory, the
Democrats are not satisfied with the
preliminary returns, for they are of
the opinion that the same errors win
be found in Minneapolis as was discov-
cred in the preliminary returns In st.

z. Daniel entertained their friends
In honor of the fifteenth anniver-
sary Of their marriage day. There
was a great company Of invited
guests present and the profusion
of crystal gifts presented the i o. :
ular pair, surpassed anything of
the kind we have known in Brook
haven. Numerous kilograms of
congratulation were also received.
The weather-god lent his
brightest and warmest smiles to
the happy event and the lawn and
galleries were popular places of
resort. The string band furnish
ed excellent music and ices and
CONNECTIONS were served wherever
the obliging walters found guests
to serve.
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel were as
sisted in receiving by their hand
some young daughter, Miss Dor
ris, and by their sister, Mrs. Hy-
man Zwirn.
The evening was altogether
charming and the occasion, will
long be remembered as one of the
brightest and best in the social

May every anniversary of their
nuptial VOWS bring to Mr.. and

evening, with friends as true and
hopes as bright as upon the eve
ming of their Crystal Wedding.
