WILL CONTEST.
Deuel. County Courts Hold Will
Invalid Under Peculiar
Circumstances.

Watertown, May 5.-The attaching
Of the signatures of witnesses to will
before the party making the will mad
signed tho instrument has caused an
interesting will contest in the probate
court of Deuel. county.
The will in question was that of the
late Henry Goldbeck, a pioneer resi-
dent of the county, who left an estate
which is quite valuable. AT recent
hearing before County Judge keimer
an effort was made to prove the will
and have it admitted to probate, but
this proved a difficult task. and the
hearing was adjourned until later in
the month in order to permit those in
terested to secure new evidence as they
can bearing on the validity of the will
1t appears that will was made a
couple of yeats ago and that since that
time second will was drawn up at the
request OF Goldbeck by Judge Sanborn,
a Deuel. county attorney, who called at
the Gcldbeck farm for the purpose of
executing the instrument. This will
was witnessed by Michael Brandt and
Herman Schiefelbein, neighkcls of
Goldbeck, who also were made bene-
ticiaries Of the will the former being
remembered for the sum of $500 and
che latter's son for similar amount.
A.short time later Judge Sanborn con-
cluded that as the two men who had
signed the will as witnesses were vir-
tually beneficiaries. unless the sigma
lures of other witnesses We're secured
the will might be declared invalid if
the matter was carried into court.
A copy Of the will accordingly was
made, and this was sent by Judge San
born to Michael Brandt, with instruc-
tions to secure the signatures of two
other witnesses and also the signature
of Mr.. Goldbeck
Brandt first took the new will to
CHARLES Gauger and Herman Krause,
who signed as witnesses, and then took
the instrument to Mr.. Goldbeck, who
also attached his signature Thus there
are no legal witnesses to the signature
of Goldbeck, and the will has been held
invalid If no further evidence can be
secured the Goldbeck estate will be
probated according to law without a
will.
Both the first will and the will wit
messed by Brandt and Schiefelhein
doubtless have been destroyed. as they
cannot be found.
