Attorney John s. Watson of this city
has received word from Williston that
Judge Butler of the Williams county
probate court has found that Gus M.
Hedderich, jr., half breed, is not a
son of nor in any way related to the
late August M. Hedderich, who for
years has been at the head of the
mercantile firm of G. M Hedderich &
Co.
Considerable interest in the action,
which was started to break the will
of Mr.. Hedderich by the half breed,
has been taken in the northern part
of the state. Some sensational allie
cations were made during the hearing
of the action.
Mr.. Hedderich died last April, leav-
ing will by the terms of which his
entire estate was left to his widow,
Grace d. Hedderich Citations were
issued setting June 80 for the hear
ing of the proof of the will. On the
day set for the hearing, half breed
who claims the name of Gus M. He'd
derich, appeared and set up a claim
that Mr.. Hedderich was married to his
mother, Medicine" at Woody Noun
tain, Gan and that he was the issue
of the marriage, born March 25, 1880
The young Indian claimed that Mr.
Hedderich had at all times recognized
him as his son and his mother, Med
icine," as his wife. The young Indiar
further claimed that as his mothe1
did not die until 1897, the marriage o.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hedderich in 1888 wal
void. The entire estate of Mr.. He'd
derich was claimed by the young In
dian.
Mrs. Hedderich at once engaged
counsel and announced her determine
ton to fight the claim of the youn1
Indian. Her case was entrusted t
John S. Watson of this city and A L
Knauf of Williston. The young In
ldian's interests were looked out TO
| by D. o. Page of Williston and Paid;
& Burke of Minot.

Indian Failed to Get the
Estate of Merchant Hedderich

Bear, testified that the marriage of
the Indian woman and Mr.. Hedderich
had occurred in the tepee or lodge Of
squaw named Iron Leggings at
Woody Mountain in 1879 and that he
had been present at the ceremony. The
age of the contestant the old Indian
fixed as rs years. The squaw Iron
Leggings, testified that the marriage
had not occurred at Woody Mountain
but at Poplar, Mont, and that Thun-
dering Bear had lied when he testified
that he was present at the ceremony.
The following day when the hearing
was resumed the witness changed her
testimony and claimed that the mar
rage had actually occurred at Woody
Mountain, as sworn to by laundering
Bear.
The contestant on his own behalf
testified that Mr.. Hedderich had recog-
nized him as his son and in reply to
a query as to the circumstances re-
piled:
"Mr. Hedderich said to me one Sat
urday when 1 was in his store and
when / was about years old: Hell
/, 10, my boy. How are you" He then
gave me some candy. Later, when
was about Is years of age, ran away
| from the reservation and saw Mr
Hedderich in his store at Buford, Mr.
Hedderich said: Hello, my boy, ain'
you lost?
| In defense it was shown that Mr.
Hedderich did not leave the state OF
| Indiana until August, 1880. 1t was
shown at the time witnesses had tes-
| titled the squaw, Iron Leggings, mac
been in Canada, she had been in real
/ ity in Culbertson, Mont. The gov
eminent birth records, showing the
birth of the young contestant to have
occurred in the spring of 1881, Were
produced. 1t was also shown that a.
the same time the young Indian was
enrolled in the government school, 26'
other Indian children were enrolled
and at that time given the names o
white men without regard to parent
age, and that the contestant had beer
given his name by General Heath as
/ joke on Mr.. Hedderich.
