WANTS COURT TO
REMOVE FLETCHER
CONGRESSMAN CHARGED WITH
MISCONDUCT AS EXECUTOR.
Sarah Hill, Legatee Under Will Of
Jedida S. Tastes, MIR. Fletcher's
|. Mother-in-law, Accuses Him of
''Fraud and Imposition Upon the
Court in Management Of Estate.

"That a fraud and imposition has
been perpetrated upon the court by
Loren Fletcher,' is the strong allega
ton in a petition filed in the probate
court asking that Mr.. Fletche s acts
as administrator of the estate OF the
late Jedida s. tastes be revoked and
that he be removed from that position.
at West Gouldsboro, Hancock county,
Maine, who was a niece Of Mrs. Eastes.
Mrs. tastes was the mother-in-law
Of Loren Fletcher, and she made her
home with him from June Is, 1887, till
her death, April %, 1897. In her will,
executed Jan. 20, 1892, she made Mr.:
Fletcher her executor and requested
nish bond for the performance of his
duties. She also willed her entire
estate to him aside from requests to
relatives, of which the petitioner is
one, which aggregated $4,000. The be-
quest to the petitioner was $500.
The petition. goes on, to assert that
Mr.. Fletcher allowed a claim Of his own,
estate This claim was for ST. ,5l2.04
| which made a balance due him from the
estate of $l,0S9.72, and included charges
| for board, nursing and medical atten'
ton to Mrs. Eastes, nine years and ten
and half months, aggregating, $ll 800
| IL is Claimed CndC ILLS dLuOuuC IL
greatly in excess Of what it should have
been; that Mrs. tastes was charged
with 500 for board and room, when
one-half that amount should have beer
sufficient. 1t is set up that Mr.. Fletch
er should not be allowed to act both as
creditor and executor; that, he never
filed an, inventory, of the estate, as is
required by law; that the value of the
estate was more than $4,000, and thai
the allowing of his claim for an amount
in excess, was to cut off the requests tt
other legatees. .-.-.
It is also claimed that there was NJ
notice Of the probating Of the estate
other than publication in weekly pa
per at Minneapolis, altho the execute
knew Of the petitioner whereabouts
and address; also, that he answered !;
letter addressed to him Dec. 49,, 1902
I in which he denied any knowledge O.
will or it's bequests; that he failet
to answer other letters asking for in
formation concerning the estate.
It is asked that the probating Of tn
will shall be reopened; that Mr.. Fletch
er be required to make oath to an in
ventory and that the court shall orde
his removal as executor. 81

THEY HAD HEART FAILURE
Candidates Learn that Messengers
'.Faked' Unofficial Returns.

st. Paul candidates whose election
or defeat hung BY margin Of a. few
when it was learned that the unofficial
returns upon which they had been bas-
ing their estimates were not altogether
reliable. It was discovered that the
messengers for the City Press associa-
ton, which had furnished the returns,
had faxed some of them. Not wish
ing to stay up late and make long trips
from outlying districts, the messengers
in some instances had guessed at re-
suits. "
It appears that they were pretty fair
guessers, for the corrected returns did
not change results materially except in
the case Of county surveyor, Arm
strong, republican, getting plurality
Of 76 over Irvine, democrat, to whom
the faxed returns had given a plu-
rality Of Is.
Another close vote is . on district
judge, T. D. O'Brien leading Oscar Hal
lam by 1o1 votes with Monndsview
township to hear from. O'Brien lis
probably elected.

4 DEMOCRATIC SLEUTH
GUARDS BALLOT.BOXEs

A fear that the election returns may
be tempered with before they are taken
up by the canvassing board, has in
duced the democratic committee to en-
ploy a special detective to watch the
city clerk office. The man reported
for duty last night and took up his
vigil at the door to see that no one
entered.
When he frstuarrived he asked the
office. The watchman consulted Frank
Gaylord, custodian Of the building, and
he ordered that the man be kept out
Of the office. 8

LITTLE DOING NOW.
Period Of Preparation For Further
Fighting in War

Since the desperate fight at Kinchow
there has been little definite news from
the Eastern war. II is known that the
japanese, following up their victory, have
advanced toward Port Arthur and cannot
be far away now. They are bringing up
heavy. reinforeements, repairing the rail-
way. forwarding siege guns and making
careful preparations for pushing opera
tlons against the fortress The Russians
appear now to be somewhat fearful of re-
suits at Port Arthur. But they will make
a desperate defence. Their fortifcations
are elaborate, said to be well supplied and
the place is strongly manned.
Admiral logo maintains a strict block
ade about the port. He reports that Rus
sian gunboat was seen to run against a
mine at the harbor entrance aud sink
Heavy explosions heard at Port Arthur are
thought 70 indicate the attempted removal
OF the harbor distractions BY the Russians
Coal IS said TO be so short that the ships
inside cannot venture out.
The Japanese losses at Nanshan hill
(hlnchow) were over LOO killed and
wounded. The Russians admit a loss OF
about 500 The Russians say the Japanese
naval fire al this fight was so destructive
that il literally tore the hill to pieces.
Several encounters between Cossacks
in touch with Kuroki's northern army and
Japanese detachments are reported, but no
heavy engagements have taken place. The
japanese plan seems to be simply to keep
Kouropatkin busy there until Gen. Oku
reduces Port Arthur, when he i'll be able
to reinforce Kuroki and assau the Rus
sian northern army. Ii has been reported
that considerable Russian force was NOV
ing from kouropatkin down toward Oku's
rear, so as TO make him trouble in his OPP
eratlons against Port Arthur, but the re-
port is not confirmed.
