MAY MEAN RETRIAL OF CONTEST
CASE IN WHICH SON
WON.

Judging from present indications
the Alonzo L. Courtney will case
against Alice l.. Courtney will have to
be retired again at the present or Jan
uary term Of the district court. 1t now
develops that second will of the late
Elizabeth A. Courtney llas been dis
covered and that the case will again
be heard on that point.
While the sums involved are not
large, about $4,000, the will case has
been one of the hardest contested
suits tried in the Wapello county court
in several years. At the last trial
Alonzo Courtney succeeded in breaking
mis- mothers will which had given
nearly the entire estate to Alice Court.

the defendant used coercion in secur-
ing a will favorable to her This was
proved to be true to the satisfaction
of the jury and the will was ordered
set aside. which had the effect of civ.
ing to Alonzo Courtney, the only son
the entire estate of his mother.
The provisions of the second will
which, 1t appears, turned UP just after
the first will case had been tried, is
not publicly known and will not be
until the next trial of the case on the
merits Of the new will.

WORK AT CHICAGO STOCK

markings made by the judges IN the
recent stock show held at Chicago in
dictate above all that Iowa students
oil the state agricultural college are
far ahead of all others on this contin-
ent in all around ably to Judge cal
tie, horses, sheep and swine.
In all around excellence the record
made by the Iowa boys who made the
trip to Chicago is not approached by
that made by any other team. The
students from the Ontario agricultural
college, whose ancestors have given
= to them the instructive ability TO
Judge and who have improved their
instincts by life on the farm and
study in college. were bested by the
boys from Iowa.
In the Judging of horses the Iowa
students completely outstrippad all
competitors Nearly a hundred and
fifty points separates Iowa from it's
nearest competitor, the Ohio team. In
the ranking of cattle, the Iowans still
forged to the front. They we're close
ly pressed by the Ontario students,
who came to the show primed tor this
event. Iowa was seven points ahead
in the total only the exceptional work

AS might be expected Iowa fell
down in the judging Of sheep Iowa
does not raise the sheep that some OF

naturally be thought that Iowa would
be on top. Iowa ranked poor third
