real estate is unknown.
During his life time Mr.. Gale was
considered very wealthy man. By
his will he gives his widow all his
household goods, works of art,
horses, carriages, jewelry, books and
automobiles and automobile furni-
ture, together with the house on AL
bemarle road. The rest of his prop
erty of every kind is divided into
as many parts as there are children,
plus one, which is given absolutely
to the wife, in lieu of her dover.
The children get their shares when
they reach the age of 21, before
which their mother holds the same
for them in trust as their guardian.

The school walks should be of
concrete or cement. Ivy should be
planted to climb the walls of the
building. The part fronting Church
street should be fenced with pipe
fencing and two lawns, one on each
side of the walk, with a flower bed
in the center of each.
The south side, between the
church and school grounds should
have a road for coal to be taken
through, if it needs it, and if it
does not, a walk to get to the part
where the pupils can pitch quoits;
and tree should be planted there
to give shade. In the rear or part
fronting Court street, should be a
walk, and l think there are trees
enough already there, but a lawn
should also be planted on each side
of the walk and fenced in. Where
the Power house now stands and
between Mrs. Decker's house and
the building should be place for
putting the shot or jumping. This
will be enough room for outdoor
sports and l think they ought to
be- satisfied.

Robin Cooper took the witness
stand today to testify in the trial
in which he is charged with the
murder of e. w. Carmack, togeth-
Ier with his father, Colonel Dun
can Cooper, and John ID. Sharpe,
who are also on trial for the kill
ing.
The witness described the ex-
citement following the shooting.
1t was shown that report that
Robin Cooper had escaped arose
from the fact that young Cooper
was taken to a surgeon to have
a bullet removed from his shoul-
der.
Every effort is being made to
find the bullet, as upon 1t hinges
one of the most important phases
of the case. The prosecution
claims that the bullet came from
Colonel Duncan Cooper's revolver
and that Robin was wounded by
his fathers gun. The defense
claims that ths1bullet came from
Carmack vHlver.
