Nearly 100000 at Stake in
Two Actions Begun.
Some of the Parties Residents
Of Blue Earth County.
Divorce Granted Years Ago Is
Claimed to Be Illegal.

From Fridays Daily.
James r. Marvin's estate is to be
made the object of interesting litiga
ton. Mr. Marvin, it will be remember
ed, once lived at Garden City, but when
it was sought recently to assess him in
this county, st. James and elsewhere he
claimed that he lived in Louisiana. He
died last summer, leaving an estate va
riously estimated at $4,000 to 100000.
By the terms of his will he divided the
property among number of relatives,
including Julia, Frank and Mary Thurs
ton and Jessie John of Garden City.
Now comes Caroline E. Marvin and
her twenty year old son, Bernard, liv-
ing at Athol, Idaho, with claim for
the greater part of the estate under the
law of inheritance and by right of a
verbal agreement made years ago. Mrs.
Marvin was formerly Miss Hilliker of
Amboy. and after she and James R.
Marvin had been married for a time
they separated. and Marvin sued his
wife for divorce He claimed that he
secured one in Brown county after pub
fishing the summons. This was twenty
wears ago. Bernhard was then an in
FAINT, and was sickly and likely to be
an expense to his father, and Mrs. Mar
vim claims that he told her that if she
would take the child and rear it he
would leave it half of his estate when
he died. This offer was not reduced to
writing.
Mrs. Marvin now claims that her hus.
band never got a legal divorce from her,
because of alleged irregularities and the
service of the summons by publication
while she was resident of Minnesota
and her whereabouts known to her hus-
band. She therefore asks that she be
given one third of the estate.
Barnard Marvin sues to have the
agreement claimed to have been entered
into by his parents carried out and that
he be given half of the estate. Both
actions have been brought in the Uni
ted States Circuit court at Minneapolis
within the last few days.
A. E. Clark of this city is one of
the solicitors for the compliments.
By the terms of Marvin's will, the
sum of $500 was left to Mrs. Marvin
but she has renowned the will, and will
make things as interesting as possible
for the other heirs, who are named as
defendants, as well as the executor w.
S. Hammond of St. James. The will
was filed for probate at st. James. 1t
gives nothing to Bernard Marvin, al
though he was the only child of the de-

That Duty on Hides.

Once in while newspaper that is
given over to standpattism must admit
that there are some inequalities in our
present tariff system, and that there
should be something done to remove the
burden that is now carried by the peo-
pie, there is no question. 1t is really
refreshing to observe that a paper like
The Duluth News-Tribune, which has
not endorsed the agitation for revision
of the tariff, now comes to the front
with the admission that the duty on
hides is of no benefit to the farmer. The
News-Tribune says:
THE tariff on hides would be a very
good thing for the farmer, if the far
mer sold the hides as we'll as raising
The cattle that wear them and carry
them to market. In theory this particu-
lar tariff is source of revenue to the
cattle raisers and great help to the
cattle trade, but in practice the chief
benefit from it is derived by the beef
trust.
GAS the beef trust does not lose any
thing but the squel in slaughtering a
hog certainly it would not waste the
hide or give it back to the farmer, in
slaughtering a steer.
"But if the farmer could make indie

Their trust and the men who control the

there you are.
'If the beef and leather business
were not so closely 'trusted,' the case
would be more tolerable. The present
hide duty act was passed ostensibly to
help the downtrodden farmer, but it
was enacted at the instance of the lib
eral and philanthropic packers and the
farmer gets no benefit, neither does the
manufacturer. The manufacturer pays
more for his leather and the farmer

"If,' all, there's the rub. If the farm

see. Therefore he reaps no benefit from
the duty. The packer is the benefici-
airy. In consequence the people are
forced to pay a high price for shoes.
The shoe manufacturers are willing that
the duty shall be removed from hides,
recognizing that if such a thing were
to be done, they could procure the raw
material at lesser figure and they

WREN TAxpAYING STOPPED
Hardly More Than a Tenth of Whole
 Amount is In.

When the taxpaying season began there was a rush at the office of the county treasurer which filled that off cer with a hope that there would be no delinquent list this year. It was not long though before the taxpayers began to restrain themselves and they have done so now with so much success that only $35,00O of the total amount of S300,000 taxes due, mas been paid. It is now only about three weeks until the time will be at hand for the making up of the delinquent list. There will Of course be a rush at the last moment, perhaps within the last two weeks, one of which will be the busy fair week.
 The scenes about the court house perhaps will be like those about a land office at the time of throwing open a tract of government land for entry and the line of anxious eleventh hour taxpayers will be stretched from the window in the grill work of the treasury, down the corridor across the street and about three times around the block.
 No doubt many of those who are holding back are waiting to come to town to see the fair, but if they wait until then they will have to forego the splendCr Of the fair or the pleas ure of paying their taxes.

to the lady at the other end as "a woman whom he introduced as his wife"
 The departure of Barron from his late residence without imparting any new address fits in well with a tele- gram received here day before yester- day inquiring if Barron could have heard from Phoenix of the investiga ton which had been set on foot here. It was suspected that he had heard something disquieting for it had been observed that ais breakfast on We'd nesday morning did not agree with him. This observation was probably made by the woman whom he intro duced as his wife" who with wifely solicitude detected in his aversion to food a disturbed mind. She probably did not prepare any dishes for the temptation of his appetite.
 On the same day a telegram was re- ceived nere from Barron saying that whatever had been said about him was a lie and that he was leaving at once for Phoenix. It is therefore possible that this will be his new address.

newspaper The Republican made in- quiry about the marital relations of Barron in Buffalo. Barron himself has been described as sales manager of the blacksmith tool department of the Buffalo Forge company, and who engaged himself to an estimable young lady of this city whom he met on the coast.
 Barron visited Phoenix and went leaving no doubt of the honesty of his purpose to marry, Thanksgiving Day of tnis year being fixed upon as the date of that event. Word came to Phoenix in a communication from Buffalo attorneys of Barron's relations these. The purpose of the communi- cation was to inquire if Barron were really engaged to be married again. It was stated that he had wife there and that she was contemplating di- vorce proceedings, based upon the dis covery of letters from a lady of this city and to whom letters written by Barron had been intercepted. From these epistles the wife of Barron sur missed that her husband had not been married as much as he desired to be.
 She did not fly off the handle as many a woman would have done but with a cool calculation which does credit to her sex, she set about finding out the extent of his duplicity before she made any rash moves. The com munication gave the address of tne Barrons which is the same given by MT. Taylor. It also mentions the date of the marriage of Barron, the pastor by whom the ceremony was performed and all other essential details of the affair. MT. Taylor cautiously alludes

TURKEYS ARE TURKEYS
A Very Profitable Industry Which is
 Being Sadly Neglected.

c. B. Wood superintendent of the poultry department for the territorial fair in the performance of his official duties has discovered that the turkey business is on the wane in this valley and that for the coming Thanksgiving only the very rich or thieves can afford turkey. There were never in recent years so few turkeys in the valley and the price is bound to advance with the early demand for them.
 This statement was made in the hearing of w. F.. Thomas who said that it was strange that farmers should neglect such a profitable industry as turkey raising. He said that his wife had lately sold three gobblers for SIP and that those three were only part of the successful efforts of a turkey hen. MT. Thomas had altogether twen ty-two turkeys which cost him nothing except the original outlay for eggs and the interest on his investment in the hen.
 From the time they came out of the shell the young turkeys were self sup porting and when they got older they lived in Griers alfalfa field across the road. Turkeys said MT. Thomas, are the poor mans crop.
 At this point the turkey question took Ia wider range though it did not en- tirely depart from the original theme. County Treasurer Hayden said that man came into the office the day be- fore with lot of money which he said he had received from the sale of bunch of cattle. "But," said he, 'it isn't all mine; $40 of this roll belongs to my sister. Along in the spring she traded two turkeys for a bull calf which went off with the cattle. He was weighed separately and came to $40"
