CLAIMS She WAS
BEATEN BY WILL
DAUGHTER FIGHTS FOR HER
MOTHERS ESTATE
judge Trask Hears Mrs. Carrie Swear
lnaer's Grievances, but Refuses
to Set Aside the Doeu-
ment

Claiming an equal share with four
other heirs in the estate left by her
mother Mrs. Carrie Swearlnger,
daughter Of the late Mrs. Ellen Culver
of Alhambra yesterday entered pro-
ceedings before Judge Trask in de-
partment of the superior court, ask
ing that her mothers will be set aside
and a proper distribution of the prop
erty made by the court who, after
hearing the testimony. refused to take
any action.
Mrs. Swearinger was allowed 81 by
the provisions of the will. and later, be-
cause of certain conditions, the dollar
was reduced to AZ cents.
When the case was called yesterday
Mrs. Swearinger was not in court and
the hearing proceeded without her. In
substantiation her claim that her
mother had been unduly influenced
against her, Mrs. Swearinger's attor-
neys produced letter from Judge q.
B. West Of Santa Ana, who had settled
the estate of ]. e. Culver in 1901.
This letter. according to the claims
of Mrs. Swearinger, showed that Judge
West had been vindictive in his deal
ings with her. The communication was
in answer to one written by Mrs.
Swearinger from Wyoming and was in
part as follows:
"Dear Madam-If you were not a
woman I would give you piece of my
mind. You must have been born in the
wrong time of the moon and certainly
no lady with any degree of refinement
would have used the language that you
used in your letter to me. 1 don't know
what you could have been thinking
about when you said in your letter:
you all seem to be doing a slight of
hand work.
"I will hold the deed to your father S
property until 1 hear from you and If
you are willing for it to remain in my
hands under the conditions expressed
in the last letter say so, otherwise 1
will tear off your acknowledgment and
strike your name from the deed. Now,
If you know when you are well off you
had better come down off your high
horse. 1 never cheated anybody out of
a cent in my life and never expect to,
and 1 get most awfully hot when I am
accused of any such thing. I would
certainly read the riot act if you were
not a woman.
Judge West drew the will for Mrs.
Culver. and Mrs. Swearinger claims
that he retains animosity toward her
on account of the letter she wrote him
when he settled her fathers estate four
years ago.
Attorneys for the daughter brought
evidence to prove that Mrs. Culver.
shortly before her death, made a state
ment in which she said she wished she
could change her will and give her
daughter Carrie an equal share or the
estate along with the four other heirs
The estate amounts to about $4,000.

fool on many occasions and 1 did not
like that a bit Finally, a few weeks
before I entered these proceedings, she
threatened to get a divorce from me-
She talked about 1t for so long that
at last bcame mad and told her to
20 ahead and get her divorce. she
promptly hit me in the face.
"Yes. most of our troubles were over
money matters, and we often had rows
about the money had given her"

BY Associated Press.
HELENA, Mont, Nov. 1.-THE state
supreme court today held the anti
trust law Of Montana to be unconsti-

packers charged with conspiracy.
The case was appealed to the state
from the ruling OF District Judge

be unconstitutional because 1t ex-
cepted from its provisions the agricul-
tural, horticultural and laboring
classes. The supreme court in a de-
cision by Chief Justice Brantley up

why any American citizen should
desire to leave the United States to
become a resident of Mexico, is more
than / can understand" said F. w.
Sheffield, travelling salesman for the
Portland Cordage company, to the
East Oregonian today.
Mr.. Sheffield has travelled in the
republic of Mexico for the McCor-
mick Harvester company for two
years, visiting every settled portion
of the country and carrying American
harvesting machinery into several
portions of that country into which
no American had before ventured.
Mr.. Sheffield has travelled over the
entire state of Jalisco, many times,
and speaks in high terms of the eli
mate of the state of Jalisco, of which
Guadalaxara is the capital, but he
has never heard of the city of Jalis-
co, and knows nothing of the town
site scheme which is being promoted
in this country, at that reputed city.
The railroad being built by the
Pan-Americap company is in the far
southern state of Chiapas in the hot
belt, in latitude IA and Is north, and
is in the undesirable portion Of .M.sexi-
co.
AS to the settlement of Mexico by
Americans Mr.. Sheffield says that
the inducements are few and far be-
tween for bona fide settlers. AT first
the government is lenient and gives
many special privileges to Americans
until they are located when they are
taxed to death There are half a
dozen special taxes which are col
leeted on the amount of business
transacted. every paper signed oil
filed, every shipment and consign'
ment of goods, every bill of ladinl
issued and all other necessary papers
and documents used in carrying on al
ordinary business,
He advises Americans who ar
thinking of investing money IN Mex
Jco to be sure what they are doinl
before letting go of any property Il
the United States. 1t is an up-hll

Over 100 Members Have Been Sc

The Women of Woodcraft organiz-

in this city for the past three weeks
have secured about 100 new members
for the order.
The city has been canvassed very
thoroughly once, and 1t is now
thought that by assistance from the
Commercial association additional So
licitors might be placed in the field
and the entire city worked ovel
again.
Very few business men have JOINED
the order so far, and it Is the desire
of President Borie of the Commercial
association to have every man in bus
iness in the city be sounded on thu
proposition. The addition of 10t
members in this time is considered {
remarkable showing.

TRYING TO FIND CHARLEY ROSE

dent I'm This County.

Superintendent Frank X. Welles
has received a letter from man in
Idaho, asking as to the whereabouts
of Charley Rose. and also the present
age of the lost Charley. The only
basis he is given to work on is the
statement that the man in question,
who Is Low said to be about 20 years
of age, is said to have attended the
schools IN this county some years ago.
In view Of the fact that 1t would re-
Guire an examination of all the reg
listers in all the districts of the coun-
ty for many years the request has SC
far not been complied with, conse-
quently the exact age of Charley
Rose will have to be ascertained
some other way.
Whether it is a fortune or an unex-
pifvd Jail sentence that is waiting fol
Charley is not stated in the letter
nor does it state If or not he is any
relation to the famous Charley Ross
which might be inferred from the
similarity in the names.

NEW wALLA wALLA BRIDGES.
VIII BE Built Up the River Several
Miles From Milton.

Az a result of the recent visit OF
County Judge Bean and Commission
er Walker to the north end OF the
county, two new bridges, both of con-
siderable importance, are to be built
there. The Joe West bridge, on the

of the walla Walla, is the other. Both
bridges are several miles up the river
from Milton.

years, and new ones are made neces-
sary by reason of the old ones having
become rotten and worn. Both
bridges are to be single spans, one
Of 60 feet and the other 10 feet.
Plans for the new structures Will
be asked for in a short time, and
when selected the work will be lei

Snow to the depth of four to eight
inches has fallen throughout the en-

Sufficient snow has fallen at the

and the snow has been of inestimable
