 those who are in daily contact with the public, blood would have been spilled in the court house to-day, be- tween Attorney James E. Russell and Dr George A, Faber The trouble grew out Of case concerning the estate of the doctors father, Adam Fabar, who died some years ago. Some time before Mir Faber died lie deeded a slice of his property worth 5000 to one of his sons and in his will he gave to his step daughter fiye-eighths of his estate, to three of his children one-eighth each and two others S1 each. The doctor was one of the latter.
 The deed involved Mir Faber in pro- bate court proceedings on the claim
 mat he was incompetent when ha made the deed, and after his deatE it was found that by the deed and his will, he had left his widow penniess IL was considered an acute coiuci- dence that at the time ne was held to be incompetent he was serving on jury in the district court.
 In the probate proceedings that fol- lowed the mans death an application was heard for an allowance for the widow. Strange to say, the appllca- ton was opposed. However, the will was approved and the widow was al- lowed $3O a month, notwithstanding that the estate was estimated to be worth about $25,O00 The widow and some of her children, the doctor among them mot satisfied with the allowance made, took an appeal to the superior court. There the case hung nre Tor some time and finally it was Wlthdrawn on the agreement that the children would take care of her. So the appeal was withdrawn and then, according to Attorney John oNeill to-day in the superior court, the old lady was given the cold shoulder.
 The children made her life un- pearable, said MT O'Neill. They made 1t so hot for her she could not live with any of them. They not only gave her the cold shoulder put literally turned her adrift and now she is living with a cousin on BUCKS Hill. She is 75 years of age," salo MT o'Neill, and needs the at- tention of a doctor occasionally, yet all she has received from her hus- bands estate in three years is s360 and since last July she has not re- ceived a cent"
 In answer to this, and here came the cause of the bad blood between MT Russell and Dr Faber Attorney Russell said the case had been ready for trial repeatedly but the doctor would not let it be heard. He was the cause of all the row between the heirs to the estate because he was cut of with s1.
 Then Mir 0'Neill stated that the agreement between the widow and the children was fraudulently made. They got her to withdraw the appeal by false promises and the case should be tried now on it's merits. Attorney Russell repeated what he had said before and the doctor left the room. He took up a position at the entrance to the building and when Mir Russell was passing out liter court had adjourned he walked nto the limb of the law. He called MT Russell everything that was low md mean, liar of every caliber. md shook his fists as though he were aching for a scrap. Everybody | bought there would be trouble and l got ready to get between. But the awyer did not budge. The training | le receives every day through con- act with people, every kind of men | md women kept back his anger and | jed his fists.
 As for the matter before the | .ourt, decision was reserved.
 After the storm the doctor stated i hat MT Russell deliberately lied | bout him. He made a long state nent, the gist of which was that instead, as Mir Russell said, he was drag anchor on the case, he was in act the main spring to a speedy rial.
