Both Original Plaintiff and
Original Defendant Dead Be-

HAS BEEN YEARS IN COURTS
Action Entitled Crane and Latham
Will Case, Extremely Difficult to
Handle Because Both the Principal
Witnesses Were Dead = Decision
Pending Since January-state News.
Special to Times Republlcan.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, May 19.-Clerk of Courts
C. M. Soper has just received an opin-
ion from Judge w. B. Evans, OF
Hampton, in the long drawn out Crane
and Latham will case. In the opin-
ion rendered by Judge Evans, before
whom the case was tried during the
January term of the district court here,
the will is set aside as asked by the
plaintiffs, thru their administrator,
Farley Sheldon, OF Ames.
The case was peculiar one, in that
both the original plaintiff and the orig
inal defendant were dead before the
case was concluded. The case has
been in the courts for years, dating
back to almost the origin of the Crane
Latham Eastwood troubles.
Old Mrs. Eastwood, the mother OF
the wife Of the defendant, was induced
to will all OF her property to her
daughter, Mrs. Crane. She was later
married to man named Latham, and
suit was brought to have the original
will set aside. This hung fire until
both Mrs. Latham and Mrs. Crane were
dead. Farley Sheldon, of Ames. was
appointed administrator of the estate
of Mrs. Latham, and the case pro-
ceeded thru the courts minus the orig
inal parties to the suit.
1t was extremely difficult to handle
the case. owing to the fact that the
two principal witnesses were dead. The
case progressed, however, and wound
up in Judge Evans court in January,
but his opinion was reserved until last
week.

Clear Lake, May ia terrific storm
Sunday evening tore the mast outlof a
large sailboat which had dared the a.p-
proach of the storm too long, and
which. belated, was running in before
the wind with all sail set. Fortunately
the vessel was not overturned, and the
four occupants were left with the boat
wallowing helplessly about among the
waves, to be drenched by the pouring
rain. A sudden vicious puff caused the
accident. Many vessels were broken
from their anchorage, and cast up on
the shore by the heavy waves which
the storm aroused.

Special to Times Republican.
Algona, May 19.-What was per-
haps the worst storm this vicinity has
experienced in many years. passed over
mere Sunday afternoon. The wind
which accompanied the storm was not
great, but the rain and rail and light
ming was of kind and quantity the
like of which even the old settlers
cannot recall. The hail stones were as
large as walnuts, and the storm was so
heavy that fruit growers in this vicin-
ity say the fruit will be ruined. The
electrical discharges were frequent
and heavy, and did great damage. The
Kossuth county court house was struck
and damaged some. The Thorington
hotel, across the street, was set on fire
by the lightning, but the fire was eX-
tinguished and no one was injured.
The c., & N. W. freight office was
struck and fire started, which was
also extinguished with little damage.
The agent received quite shock, how
ever as he held the telephone receiver
in his hand when the lightning struck.
A fire was started in the Algona State
Bank building by the lightning strik-
ing telegraph pole outside, and fol-
lowing the cable Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company into their office
above the bank. The fire here did
considerable damage and destroyed
all the instruments before it was put
out. The residence of A. A. Call was
struck, and, altho no fire was started,
the lightning tore up the roof and did
considerable damage to the property.
Besides these buildings, there were
many trees and telephone poles struck.
and great damage was done to the
city and rural telephone lines.
The lightning in the country was
nearly as bad as in the city Besides
several barns, the house of A. M. Jas
person was struck and considerably
torn up. c. B. Huchins, who lives
just outside the city limits, lost two
COWS and a fine horse.
Not only did the lightning play ha-
voc, but the water as well. For about
