Lose Legacy
It They Swear

Denver, Col, Dec. 12.-One Of the
oldest Wills that ever came before
the courts in this state Is that Of
Harmon j. Rood, which was offered
for probate here to-day. Rood, who
was a resident Of Brookfield,, VT.
died last May at Mnskogee. l. T.
MISS Gertrude Lavelle, Of Denver
adopted daughter of the deceased
knowing nothing Of any will, and be.
lieving she was entitled to the es.
tate, took charge of 1t. Subsequently
two wills were discovered In an old
dictionary, and she relinquished the
property.
The estate is valued at 10000
BY the term OF the latest will, Rood
leaves $3.50 each to Sarah Rugg Of
Salem Willows, Mass. and Nellie
Gleason Of Gloucester Mass, pro-
vided they first save $3.50 Of their
own.
Two nephews. are given $500 each,
but they also must save and lay
aside q like amount before the terms
of the will are carried ont. He es-
pecially makes the conditions that II
either his nleces or bis nephews use
coffee they will lose $3.50.
II they use LIQUOR or tobacco they
will lose 5000 each, and If they so for
get themselves as to become addicted
to profanity, they ,orfeit the entire
amount.
In this case the money reverts to
the Vermont Domestic Missionary So
ciety, which organization is to re-
ceive whatever mauont remains after
the provisions Of the will are carried
out. Lucius Blodgett of Vermont Is
named as executor, and lawyers are
of the opinion that he will have an
unenviable task in seeing that the
wishes Of the eccentric Vermonter
are observed. :.

appeared for the defense.
The case occupied oil day yesterday
and all OF this morning at the dis
trict court. The prosecution intro
duced several witnesses to show that
two eheep had disappeared from a
flock of 253 One Lerder had seen
Salazar riding away from the flock
with a sheep or two sheep tied be-
hind his saddle. A pelt was intro
duced In evidence which showed a
faint trace Of the mark In blue paint.
The hide was found fresh on the
roof OF Salazar's house. Several
witnesses identified the mark as the
one with which the 253 sheep were
branded.
The defendant admitted that the
sheep had come from Mr.. Romero's
flock, but claimed that Dionicio Padil.
Ia, the herder In charge. had given
Il to him. He said the pelt had no
distinguishable mark, and the herder
in giving him the sheep had told him
that the one without brand was his
own.
Padilla was called In rebuttal and
denied having given Salazar the
sheep. The old father and mother
of Salazar swore that Padilla told
them he Nad given their son the
sheep.
