 Wilt

Guy W T.ehar entered q protest against the probation of his mother s will the late Mrs. Sallie J. Lef1ar, and Tuesday morning County Judge kerwip decided that under existing circumstances the will should not go tc probate.

1 EXPOSITION OF
 MRS. CHADWICK.
Refused to Answer Questions of Her
 Early Life.

Columbus, O., June 12.--According to information here, the deposition of Mrs. Cassie Chadwick. the high priestess of finance" now in the Ohio penitentiary, which was taken in May, in the suit brought by the Jutte heirs oT Pittsburg against Bankers Friend and Hofs of that city, is not as sen sational as was anticipated.
 It was expected that Mrs Chadwick would tell something of her early life. but this she carefully refrained from doing. refusing to answer any ques- tions along that line She said she first met Bauker Friend i'll 1901, and since that time she visited him ar Atlantic City, New York and Pitts burg She says she told Friend of her deposit of $5,000.000 worth of securi- ties with Ira Reynolds of Cleveland, and exhibited to him a certificate showing that the deposit had been made.
 It was arranged that E.iend was to act as her trustee and dispose of the securities. He loaned her, at divers times. money amounting in all to $2S1 .000. but lie took her notes for $7S4,000. The securities deposited with Reynolds were to be turned over to Friend, who was to allow Mrs. Chadwick from $30,O00 to $4O.O0O per annum for living expenses. and then as to reimburse himself for the mon- ey advanced
 Mrs. Chadwick claimed that Friend frequently referred to Jutte, the Pitts burg millionaire. who took his own life at Atlantic City There is noth- ing in the deposition showing where Mrs. Chadwick got the securities.
 She turned over to the attorneys for the Jutte heirs copies of letters sent tc he rby Friend and memoranda of all her financial transactions with him.
 Mrs. Chadwick has prepared state nent which she claims she will give to the public when the Jutte-Friend case is ended.

 ERATtONS AGAIN.

 the Farmers.

The Jefferson County Immigration society may have another important meeting some time during the month of June The president, Sheriff Jas. Gould, is only waiting for the farmers to be in such a position that they may be able to attend the meeting. By this time it is very probable that Mr. ot;uld will have devised som way to relieve the existing evils. which greatly hinder the farmers In making their crops and gatherins them.
 Insufficient and incompetent labor has been the rule in Jefferson county for the last few years. but it seems that the situation will finally be re- ,ieved. The society intends to import from Germany. Italy or Greece good competent farmers with their famil- ies. T!iis plan has been adopted in 4he Mississippi delta and has proven entirely satisfactory.
