Nevada. Jan. 31.-Judge Evans rem
dered a decision in district court here
which has caused the supreme court no
end of trouble to settle in the past 1t
was in a contested will case, from the
estate of the late Sol Switzer. Switzer
died about dozen years ago, leaving
an estate which he willed to his wife,
to have, own and control during her
natural life, after which it was to be
divided equally among the eight child
rem. The will also provided that Leo
Goodman, grandchild, should receive
one-half the share Of each of the child
rem. The point in question is whether
the widow took a life estate or fee sim
pie title, If the latter Goodman would
receive one ninth. if life estate estate
he would receive one-seventeenth of
the estate which made quite material
difference as the estate consists of
nearly q half section of valuable Story
county land. Goodman contested the
will but the court decided that the Wild
ow took life estate and set Good
mans position aside. The matter will
doubtless go to the supreme court for
settlement.

Defendants Lawyers In Trial
of the Mt. Ayr Banker Score
Several Points
AS TO VALUE OF BANK PAPER
Witnesses Admit Their First Estimates
May Have Been Wide of the Mark
and Make Several Changes-Senti'
ment Apparently Hostile to the
Banker.
Banker.

Mt. AYR, Jan. 31.-The prosecution
in the Day Dunning case had expected
to rest by noon yesterday, but when
noon came, some Of their witnesses re-
manned to be called. The forenoon was
distinctively the defense's inning, the
witnesses introduced by the state to
prove the worthless quality of the ac-
counts and paper carried by the bank
materially modifying their statements
under Mr.. Spence's cross examination.
Senator George Allyn, cashier OF the
Mt. Ayr hank, who modified his estl-
mates Saturday afternoon, was still
more favorable to the defense yestec-
day in his estimate of the value of the
assets.
A. R. Shrimplin, a local broker, who
estimated the $4,000 in overdrafts as
properly subject to discount in value
of $4,000, reduced that figure to about
$4,000, the tactics of the defense being
to get the witnesses for the state to
admit that their opinions were based
upon knowledge obtained since jan
uary IA, 1904, and in part upon condf-
ticns not existing at the time Of the
failure, but consequent thereon. d. B.
Marshall, an auctioneer. gave shorter
testimony, but of the same general
line. The attorneys for the defense
were jubilant when the noon adjourn
ment came, but it Is to be remembered
that several witnesses gave very dam
aging evidence Saturday afternoon as
to admissions made by Mr.. Dunnlng
shortly after the failure.
Mr.. Shr1mplin added another of
these admissions yesterday in saying
that Mr.. Dunning authorized j. L. Pat
terson to tell the crowd outside The
bank on the day following the failure
that the bank would pay out about IS
to Is per cent.
There can be no denial of the fact
that the majority sentiment Of the
community including both town and
country, has been steadfastly hostile
to Mr.. Dunning almost from the first.
It is therefore the more significant at
this time that the prevalent talk is
Of an expected acquittal The state
has presented some very strong evil

The state rested in the Dunning case
at Q o'clock. hTe defense introduced
yesterday afternoon Frank Le.,an,
Frank Barchus, and Walter Edie, three
of the stock feeders who were the
banks heaviest debtors, Lesan being
Dunning''s partner. The defense sought
to show that ,Lesan and Barchus were
solvent until the failure Of the bank
caused the creditors to push them into
Insolvency. Edie's evidence was st.prt-
ling in the enumeration of every Kind
