CAVANAUGH WILL HEARING.

The contestants of the will of the late
James Cavanaugh had their day in
court last Saturday.
This case is attracting considerable
question of law involved and the a
mount at stake.
Mr.. Cavanaugh, in substance, be-
queathed and devised all his property
amounting to $4,000, to two trustees J..
P. Watt and E. Fenlon to be expended
by them in masses for the repose of the
souls of himself and several specified
relatives, not naming the priest who was
to receive the charge and not even spec
flying Catholic masses which the testator
undoubtedly meant, This indehniteness
of beueficiaries is the ground of the at
tack, several of his kindred of collateral
lines, he having no lineal descendants,
asserting that uncertainties as to the in
tent of the testator as far as that can be
gathered from the will itself vitiates
the gift
If this can be so neld the relatives
will get the money instead of the church.
Il. g. Nash and K. w. Burke appeared
for the contestants. E. l.. Kelley and

PITTED FACE MENACES,

Visions of dreary weeks in quarantine,
disfgured countenances, not to speak OF
the black pail and shroud, sent shudders
through the more timid early this week
and genuine old fashioned small pOx
panic seemed imminent when the quiet
ing assurance that the new cases OF the
dreaded plague were very mild, under
control and not liable to spread, passed
about the community. AT present four
homes are under quarantine. All on
the north side being those of John Ry-
an, Theo. Brown, Philip Heinzen and
Henry Clemens.
Many of the cases, being Il mild form
of the disease, were diagnosed as other
maladies, until the discovery that some
of them were small pox resulted in a
thorough investigation by Health officer
Meany, who Immediately ordered the
auarantines of the homes and the fumi.
cation of places exposed to contagion.
He called special meeting of the board
of health Sunday morning and all pos
sible precautions were at once taken TO
prevent an epidemic. The prior attend
ance at school, church and other public
places by persons who had been exposed
caused some uneasiness but if the public
co. o.operate with the authorities and obey
orders and promptly report all sus-
pcious cases to DR.. Meany no further

WRECKS AN OBSTRUCTION.

A finding by the government dredg
ing crew of three submerged wrecks of
sailing craft near the harbor entrance
last week brought "reminiscences from
the older inhabitants of the city of the
days when the harbor would be in the
fall crowded with sailing vessels seek
ing shelter from gale lashed fury of the
lake. These wrecks were partly re-.
moved last week but to completely re-
move them special appropriation for
the work will be necessary. This it is
expected will be forth coming shortly rs
the work is absolutely necessary to
make the new harbor safely navigable
Two Of the wrecks are presumed to
be the Mary B. Hale and the John Davis
which foundered years ago when al
most successful in making the harbor,
bringing up Immediately south Of the
piers.

ANNUAL MEETING
Of STOCKHOLOER

An opportunity for the chronic base
ball "knocker" and kicker to make his
knocks and register his inevitable pro-
tests against things as they are will be
afforded by the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the local ball association
to be held in the Dempsey block on the
evening of November %. Full reports
of the work of the season of 1908 will be
made and the exact financial status of
the organization will be made public.
Some discussion as to the advsability Of
continuing in the league in the face of
a deficit, even with the best crowds of
the circuit, is anticipated. The rabid
fan, strange to say, is often a perpetual
grumbler and from some of the talk in
dulged in one might gather that first
place in the pennant race isn't high
