NOTES
W. III. Martin, DR.. S. c. McGeorge

mission in lunacy on Mrs Mary Z. Kin
kaid of Mars and on Saturday, Deputy
A. o. Hepler. Mrs Sheriff Gibson and
Constable Scott of Mars took her to Dix
mont.
County Commissioner McCandless
brought two simple minded girls named
Krantz from Prospect to the County
Home. Friday.
The preliminary hearing in the mat
ter of the Martha Anderson wills be-
fore Recorder Davis was continued from
last Thursday until today, beginning at
10 am.
John Anderson, Sr. died thirty or
forty years ago; his wife had preceded
him; and he left three children, John
and Martha, and Emily who married
VIM. Bull and moved west. John and
Martha never married and lived togeth-
er on the old place The farm became
valuable oil farm, which made them
both rich, and they acquired the John
Evans farm and other valuable proper
ty.
John, Jr. died few years ago, and
left will which was disputed, but the
Supreme Court sustained it, and his be-
quest to the NJ. E. church for foreign
missions was paid.
Now Martha has died-died suddenly
a few days after making her willard
also making a bequest to the church,
which may be invalid on account of her
dying within thirty days after making
it. and leaving the bulk of her estate to
a nephew and neice, named Buhl,
very natural thing to do; but Mr. Bow
ser turns up with will written by
himself nearly year ago, and which
makes himself and James Cooper, an
old friend and neighbor of the Amber
sons, the chief beneficiaries.
Hence these hearings, with litigation
to follow
L. II. Hays has been sworn in as
special policeman for the B q Q. K. K.
A caveat against admitting to probate
any paper purporting to be the will of
Lewis Waller, late of Buffalo twp, has
been filed with Register Dayis by Mrs.
Dora Thiel.
In the United States District court at
Tuesday, the Grand Jury re-
turned several true bills, among them
being one against James Ell. Ekas,
formerly a clerk in the National Bank
Of Tarentum. Ekas is charged in the
indictment with embezzling funds of a
National bank, and making false entries
in the books of the bank with intent to
iefraud.
Milard f. Blake, who is suing the
Railroad Company to re-
cover S2S2, 600 as compensation for use
Of his patent on the dumping car pro-
cess, created a sensation at the opening
Of the trial in Hollidaysburg, Tuesday.
When called to the witness stand he
said in reverent tones: In the presence
Of God and man, let us pray" Judge
Bell refused the request for prayer, and
the trial proceeded.
Homer Luther Mckinney, of Freeport.
at one time an evangelist for the Erie
of the Methodist Episcopal
church, was arrested at his home, last
week, by Deputy United States Marshal
M. Henry, and taken to Pitts
burg, where he was placed in the Allie
yheny county Jail on charge of using
the mails to defraud. Mckinney. it is
alleged, under the alias of Mary Rob-
oins' and anna Hull" secured various
sums of money and merchandise from
natrimonally inclined men and business
concerns throughout the United States,
who thought they were corresponding
with woman.
