! INTERESTING PROBATE APPEALS

Executrix and Heirs Interested in $2O,-
 900 Fortune Left by Thomas Burtch. In Norwich, September 29, the civil 1 superior court, in special assignment, was engaged with the cases known as Harriet H. B, Squadrito appeal from probate and James N. States ct al, ap- peal from probate, which are being tried together
 The late Thomas Burtch of Stoning- ton married for his second wife the present Mrs. SQuadrito, who before her second marriage was made executrix of her first husbands estate, worth about twenty thousand dollars, she to have the income, and could draw on the prin- cipal if necessary. At her death the money goes to J. N. States of New Ha- ven and other nephews.
 Some two or three years ago she be- came acquainted with Anthony Squad rito, a young and handsome Italian bar Der in Stonington, and married him. Soon after the marriage she sought to transfer all the property to James Sem mara, a friend of her husband, and thus put it out of the reach of her husbands relatives in case she died. A sum of several thousand dollars in a New Lon don savings bank was thus transferred but the Stonington savings bank re- fused to make such transfer of the lar ger amount deposited there
 News of the attempted transaction reached the other prospective heirs and they brought suit to have Mrs, Squad rito removed from being executor of the estate of Captain Burtch. Their suit was successful and Mrs. Squandrito now takes an appeal from the action of the court, which made James H. ,Stivers trustee to succeed her.
 Mrs. Squadrito filed with the probate court of Stonington an account of her expenditures from the estate and this account was accepted by the court. MT. States and the other heirs take their appeal from this acceptance.
 Attorneys Arthur B. Calkins and Frank T., Brown represent Mrs. Squad. rito, and Judge H. W. Rathbun and Att torney Seymour c. Lewis appear for MT. States and the other heirs.

THE LATE MRS. EDWARD LEWIS.
 Of the late Mrs. Edward Lewis, who died Friday afternoon at her home ill
 Derby, the Ansonia Sentinel says:
 Mrs. Sarah Denman Atwater Lewis
 was born in Derby in 1857, being the
 daughter of Henry Atwater who was
 largely identified with the manufactur-
 ing interests of Derby, and the sister of l Henry Atwater, of Bridgeport; William
 C. Atwater and Mrs. E. M. Oldham, of
 Derby. Her early life was spent in Derby, but upon the death of her father
 she went with her mother and sister to
 reside in New Haven. After living in New Haven a number of years the fam lily returned to this city, where Mrs. Lewis has since resided. She was mar
 ried in Derby in 1882 to Edward Lewis, and the husband and two daughters, Miss Martha Charnley Atwater Lewis i and Miss Barbara Atwater Lewis.
 1 Mrs. Lewis was woman very active in the club life of the city, being a member of the Womans club, the Sun shine branch, the District Nurse asso- 1 citation, the Woman's Industrial club, Sarah Riggs Humphreys chapter, D. A. R., and the Ladies Benevolent society of St. James church. She held offices in nearly all the organizations in which she was interested, and her unusual ex-
 ecutive ability and good judgment was
 of great aid in placing the clubs on sure financial foundations. She was partic- ularly interested in the District Nurse association, being chairman of the finance committee, and it was to her
 untiring labors in this field and the
 thorough and systematic way in which
 she planned and carried out the raising of funds for the association that has l made it one of the most successful as we'll as one of the most beneficial or ganizatfons in the community. u Mrs. Lewis was a woman of that rare type who think of others before think ing of themselves. She was always in-
 terested in aiding those in need, and al- ways hard worker in those move ments which had for their object the beneftting of the condition of the poor. During the weeks of her illness, when at times the pain seemed unbearable, she thought first of those who were dear to her and to whom any visible manifestation of suffering on the part would cause pain, and controlled her. self with @ remarkable fortitude. Her death has cast gloom over large cir cle of friends, and her loss will be one remembered for many a long day.

THE CIRCUS BROKE DOWN.
(continued from Fourth Page.l

Continued from Fourth Page.) liam Merrick, the bandmaster, usually carried several French dictionaries with him, and was rapidly mastering the language when the show broke up, and he was without food for two days. Finally he received one franc and went to buy food. He wanted some eggs, and, going into a shop. asked the proprietress for ''Zoeufs."
 The woman did not understand.
 ''Zoeufs. zoeufs, zoeufs," again spoke the bandmaster, with a rising infection. The woman shook her head sadly, at which MT. Merrick, a very tall man with long flowing mustache, rose and, perching on the edge of a chair, slapped his hands against his sides, at the same time growing like a rooster. That over, he indicated the shape of an egg with his fingers.
 "Ah!" replied the woman, as a look of understanding passed over her face. He got the eggs.
 Most of the men still in New York live in distant parts of the country. All of the circuses are in the West at this time and soon will go into winter quarters, so that the performers can not find employment.-New York Herald.

Wade 4 Free Man,

Franklin Wade stepped from
the Ward county Jail Tuesday a
free man, after serving ten
days sentence for jumping a
board bill. Wade visited the
newspaper offices and assured
them that this was the first time
he had ever gotten into trouble
and he is 81 years old at that.
We hope that he will be "square"
with his fellow man in the future.
His experience has been a dear
lesson to him, but it will no
doubt be long remembered. The
charge which was made against
him for conducting a lottery,
has been dismissed. Attorney
Lambert, Wade's attorney, de-
serves a good deal of credit for
getting Wade out Of the meshes
of the law.

STOCkMEN'S ASSOCIATION.
Annual Meeting Will Be Held at Fort
Pienna

Fort Pierre, S. D, March 22.The stock
men of this portion of the great cattlo
ranges who are members of the Missouri
River Stockmen's association, are taking
great interest in the annual meeting of
the association, which will hold at this
place on April for the purpose of re-
ceiving the annual reports OF the officers
and transacting other important business,
in addition to arranging for the regular
spring roundups in the vast territory COW
cred by the association. Foremen of each
of the roundup parties will be elected at
the annual meeting. The roundup this
spring will be much more thorough than
heretofore, for the reason that under the
laws of the state and the regulations of
the United States department of agricul-
lure, the stockmen will be required to dip
their animals this spring. This is abso-
lutc!y necessary and the penalty for ne
gcct makes it very essential that cattle
are gathered by the owners instead Of by
the inspectors. The cattlemen are deeply
interested in the dipping measures and are
determined that if dipping will be accom-
plish it there will be no ''scabies' on this
range. The various roundup pools already
are looking the ground over with a view
to making a thorough search for all stray
animals. Stock was not badly scattered
during the winter. and it is believed there
will be no great difficulty in getting the
-uimalS together
