Complaint is Made.

Ever since last April the officers
and others have been carefully watch
ing developments in the famous will
case and last night action against
Mrs. Young was started when B. b.
Hall, cashier of the Farmers Bank of
Weston swore to a complaint charg-
ing the woman with the above crime.
This morning the district attorney
waited upon Charles II. Carter, attOr-
ney for Mrs. Young, and required him
to turn over two alleged wills which
he had in his possession. One of these
is what is termed the second will and
is the one which Mr.. Hall declares was
faxed upon him in the banks office
at Weston last April. The other will
is a third" instrument and was
mailed to Mr.. Carter several weeks
ago, presumably by Mrs. Warner. The
charge against Mrs. Warner is that
she forged the second will and placed
it among the dead mans papers in the
bank at Weston, with the intention of
defrauding the rightful heirs. BY her
action, had it been successful she
would have received the greater por-
ton of an estate valued at $4,000.

The Democratic County Convention

The only unpleasant incident that de
veloped in yesterdays democratic
county convention came at the close
And that very circumstance tended u
show that the convention was without
set procedure. program or bossism
throughout.
The variance of opinion that led to
the disputed question as to whether
the convention had adjourned or not
was upon the craftsmanship of the
county committee - whether the con
vention should make the selection or
leave the duty to the newly selected
county committee. Under the call. the
election Of the chairman was not within
the essential prerogatives of the con,
vention, and yet the convention, the
tablished and Iegalized right TO make
the choice. if it saw fit.
During the day there were several
names of representative democrats
suggested and discussed in connection
with this important office, and yet there
was no organized effort in behalf of
any one. the general opinion being that
the wishes of candidates on the county
ticket should be considered in the nam
ing of the man.
1t was upon this point-the ticket
not having been completed by the con-
vention-that the difference in senti-
ment presented itself as to the pro-
priety of the selection of the chairman
by the county convention. Chairman
Sexton, although a candidate for re-
election. declared before the conven-
ton that he did not wish it at the ex-
pense of any party faction or 10 be
forced upon the party; that he would
fight as hard in the ranks as in the
chair. But before the convention had
expressed itself on the question of
electing the chairman, then and there,
it adjourned.
That this was done without precon-
certed action was shown in the neglect
to consider resolutions of any kind, for
it is certain that it was in the heart of
every delegate TO pass one at least
with q whoop recording the voice of
the Rock Island county democracy in
support of the candidacy Of Hon. w. J..
Bryan for the democratic presidential
nomination in 1908.
The main aim of the convention
seemed to be to keep strictly within
the new law in every detail in its first
application; and if neglect was the
result. it may be charged rather to a
determination not TO overdo than dis
position to side-step or to override.
