ATTORNEY MUST ANSWER
His Refusal to Do So Causes Rever-

Young Will Case.

Because A. B. Morgan, an attorneS
who drew the will of the late Branch
Young refused TO answer certain Qles-
ton regarding statements made by the
deceased at the time the Will was
drawn, the supreme court yesterday or
dered a new trial i'll the suit contest
ing the will.
Young died in Utah county February
Ia. 1896. He left an estate valued at
s5O, 1000, most of it going 10 the widow
Permelia Young. Johnson w. Young
Ashbel P. Young and Samantha Young
Gates contested it, alleging thai undue
influence was used on the deceased
when the execution of the will was Sc
cured.
Morgan refused to answer the ques-
tons. setting up that if he did he
would be divulging privileged commu-
nications between attorney and client.
The supreme court holds that if his
testimony would throw any light on
the question it should be given. The
Judgment of the lower court sustain

ANOTHER HORROR AVtRTED
Central High School at Grand Rap
ids, Mich, on Fire-Chil-
dren Escape in Order.

Grand Rapids. Mich. March 5.-Grand'
Rapids today was threatened with
repetition of Cleveland's tragedy of
yesterday on an even larger scale. Fire
broke out in the laboratory OF the Cen
trail High school, while 1200 pupils
marched out n perfect order. The
building was emPtied in two and one
half minutes.
p The Central High school is overcrowd-
ed and the stairways inadequate, but
the fire drill today proved effective.
The fire did comparatively little dam
age.
That there was no panic in the school
was probably due to the fact that a
professional photographer had been
taking flashlight pictures in the cor
ridOr of the high school a few minutes
before the fire broke out and The chill
dren had been warned not to be alarm
ed When the firemen came and drill
began they thought therefore that it
was for another picture and all marched
out quietly
The fire started below the floor Of
the chemical Ia laboratory in the first
floor and only quick action by the fire
department prevented a serious fire.

AWAKENING IN NEBRASKA
Populists in State Convention Show
Great Enthusiasm for
Cause of Bryan.

Omaha, March with the largest
number of delegates at any Nebraska
Populist meeting for years, the Populist
state convention was called to order
in Washington hall this afternoon. Res
olutions reaffrming the Omaha platform
in 1892 and declaring for the support of
Bryan by all Populists were passed, af-
ter which the convention listened to
speeches of the true Populist brand by
different leaders, while the committee
was preparing a platform fiery enough
for the Old-time POpulists.
E. E. Thomas of Omaha, the perma-
nent chairman. in his speech, said the
platform adopted by the Republicans
at Columbus yesterday and by the DEM
ocratic convention in Omaha today are
both good Populist documents.
State Chairman Manuel Shope signif-
icantly said: LAS a national Organiza-
ton 1 don't think we cut much figure.
but as a state party we can materially
assist at the election of Bryan as pres
ident"
The convention decided 10 recognize
the call of the national committee and
to send a full delegation to the Popu-
list national convention at ST. Louis.
Thirty seven delegates were selected for
that purpose, and instructed to vote and
work for the interest of W. J. Bryan.
