WOMAN SAYS STEPSON
EXERTED UNDUE INFLUENCE
widow of the Late George Border
Sues in Effort to Break Will Left
by Former Wealthy
Citizen

The contest over the will of George
Border, who died in August last leav-
ing an estate valued at $4,000, took up
the entire session yesterday of the pro-
bate department of the superior court.
1t bids fair to last some days longer,
six days having been set aside for the
hearing.
number of witnesses testified yes
terday concerning the mental condition
of Border about the time the will was
executed, and many stories of his
strange actions Were related.
One witness, a woman, said Border
killed a cat and threw the dead feline
over the fence into her yard. Her hus-
band, she said. threw the carcass back,
and told Border to keep his dead cats
in his own yard.
She also described Borders angry
pursuit of a neighbor's chicken, which
he finally caught and killed with his
cane, striking the fowl repeatedly after
life was extinct. Another woman wit
ness said Border had tried repeatedly
to make love to her.
The contest is brought by the widow,
who alleges that undue influence was
used by her stepson when her husband
made his will.

the tariff and of Its effect not only on

statistics that much damage had been

reduction of the tariff. The doctor
advised all of the farmers to make an

badly needed legislation.

An Appreciation

The Womans Christian Temper
ance Union at their meeting July 27
passed the following resolutions
Resolved that the W. G. T. U. of
Hillsboro tender to their President,
Mrs. M s. Morgan, their sympathy
for her In the illness which has made
1t necessary that she retire from
active temperance work and rest and
a milder climate.
Mrs. Morgan came to Billsboro
about four years ago and at the re-
quest of Mother Thompson and the
members of the W. @. T. U she
accepted the presidency of the Hills-
boro Union. She brought to this office
a ripe experience having for many
years been an officer and jealous
worker in the temperance society at
Delaware, Ohio.
She has won the love and esteem of
the members of the Hillsboro Uuion.
Therefore we pray that the Heavenly
Father will so strengthen her that
she may return to US and If not per-
mitted 70 take up active work that
she may counsel and advise and by
her persuasive ability urge US on to
more earnest and loyal service In the
temperance work. COMMITTEES.
