guard Is still stationed between Fort
Brown and the city of Brownsville,
keeping the negro soldiers within bar
racks, and that aside from the feeling
of animosity the town is quiet.
The citizens have been informed
that General McCaskey, commander Of
the department of Texas, will take
immediate steps to relieve the situa-
tion. Advices from Austin state that
considerable excitement over the
Brownsville situation prevails there
and movement is talked Of to or
ganfze an armed force of citizens to
go to Brownsville to assist in keeping
the negro troops within the confines
of the garrison. Governor Lanham Is
still out Of the city. Adjutant General
Pensland said he considered it very
unwise to send state troops to Browns

wrought up over what they consider
an outrage and it is believed if they
were sent there they could not be con-

APPLEBY WILL UPHELD,
husband Fails to Break Ante.Nuptia
Contract.

NCOITdCts
ST. Paul. Aug. 1S.-Judge Hallam
has decided against DR.. T. E. V. w.
Appleby, who sued for share of the
estate of his wife, Cornelia Day Ap-
pleby. This is the third division of
the A. II. Wilder estate, left to charity,
amounting in all to $2,500,OO0. His
own beQuest was first in 1894, his
widows like bequest in 1904 was sus-
tanned after contest His daughters
share is involved in this case.
Each of these three wills estab-
lished fund for relief Of "the worthy
poor" to be known as the "A. H.
Wilder Charity corporation" each sep
arately managed.
In the estate of Mrs. Appleby funds
were set apart to yield an income of
$4,000, which was promised to her
husband in an ante-nuptial contract.
That provision was attacked on the
ground that the $4,000 income was a
charge upon the whole estate.
Underlying that the ante-nuptial
agreement was attacked, by which,
before their marriage, DR.. Appleby
waived any interest In his wife's es-
tate beyond the $4,000 annuity which
she thereby guaranteed him, the allow
ance to be forfeited if he remarked.
That stipulation was attacked on the
ground that it was contrary to pubic
policy as discouraging marriage and
1t was argued that, if valid, the ante
nuptial contract could not renounce
rights to inherit but only present in
terests. Finally the trust was attacked
as indefinite and therefore void.
Judge Hallam upholds the probate
court DEGREES holding the will good in
all respects.
