to accumulate the wealth which gave
the first named chance to make an
extraordinary will. For thirty years
they lived on the island Of Japat
Wyekholme preceded Skaggs to the
grave by two winters. and he willed
his share of everything to his partner
of thirty years standing. But there
was a proviso in Wyckholme's be-
quest, just as there was in that of
Skaggs. Each had made his will some
fifteen years or more before death, and
each had bequeathed his fortune to the
survivor. At the death of the sur

the grandchild of each testator, with
certain reservations to be mentioned
later on, each having by investigation
discovered that he possessed single
grandchild
The island OF Japat had been the
home of Mohammedan race, the out
growth Of Arabian adventures who
had Jared far from home many years
before Wyckholme happened upon the
island by accident. 1t was British
possession, and there were two or three

THE LATE Mr.. sKAGGs.
g. HE death of Taswell Skaggs was
INA stimulating, 70 say the least. in
Z applicable though the express
e---.-9 sion may seem He attained
the end of a hale old age BY tumbling
aimiessly into the mouth Of d crater on
the island of Japat, somewhere in the
mysterious south seas. The world had
quite thoroughly forgotten hin during
the twenty odd years Immediately pre-
ceding his death. It was, however,
noticeably worth while 10 remember
him at this particular time He left
a last will and Testament that bade
fair to distress as we'll as startle q
great many people on both sides Of the
Atlantic.
In Boston the law firm of Bowen &

vent the plans of the firm of Bosworth,

Before them on the table lay the con-

Gently had been named as Joint execu-
tor OF the will. together with Sir John
Alleicrombie Of London. W. O.. one
time neighbor of the late Mr.. Skaggs.
A long and exasperating cablegram
had touched somewhat irresolutely
upon the terms Of the will. besides
notifying him that one of the heirs re-
sided In Boston. He was instructed
to apprise this young man of his good
fortune.
There was one very important, per-
haps imposing, feature in connection
with the old gentleman's will--he was
decidedly sound Of mind and body
when 1t was uttered

The wrestling tournament at the
Kerredge theater. the first part Of
which took place last night, developed
some surprising talent in catch-as-
catch can style OF wrestling, and most
of the bouts were very interesting. The
tournament is proving the best exhi-
bition OF the wrestling sport seen
here since the time when Collins and
other celebrities attracted the local
sporting fraternity about four years
ago.
Hyttinen OF Chicago, was the star
performer last night, throwing both
Germany" Schultz. the champion If
Butte and also X. ]. Wilrtanen Of
Hancock. after the latter had disposed
of Tim Harrington. Harrington was
not in condition and Schultz claimed
that he was out OF training and had
only come along TO help out the game.
Hyttinen weighs III pounds and was
formerly amateur champion of Chica-
go. He took on Wlirtanen after throw
ing Schultz and it was expected that
the Hancock man. who weighed in at
166 pounds, would prove easy for the
Chicago wrestler. After forty minutes
of wrestling without either gaining an
advantage, Hyttinens shoe came un-
tied and in the time taken TO attend
to 1t opportunity was afforded to take
breathing spell. Then when the game
was renewed Hyttlnen threw Wiirta-
men in five minutes.
The rules were that a man thrown
twice would be disqualified. Eskola
was the only one thrown out last
night. Hyttinen and Karkkanen are
the only ones so far having two falls
to their credit. The final bouts VIII
take place this evening. w. f. James
acted as judge and ole Oleson and
Walfrid Hendrickson as referees
All the men entered had not showed
up last night but others are expected
here today Those who are looked fol-
are Rowett of Bessemer, Alho of IRON

EXPECT TO FINISH PAVING
NOT LATER THAN NOV. 20

j. ID. cramond. general superlnten-
dent OF the Central Bitulithic COM
pany, which has the contract for paw
Ing Hancock street, arrived in the
city yesterday to look over the work
as far as completed and 10 note the
progress of operations. This Is Mr..
Cramond's second visit since receiving
the contract. he having been here
shortly after the beginning OF the
work a couple OF months ago. He
will return again after the job is fin
lshed, to see that everything has been
done in satisfactory manner He
stated this morning that unless some
Unforeseen obstacle should occur. the
paving will be finished by November
20. The concrete work. which has
been the slowest part of the JOB, has
now reached a point west OF the rail-
road crossing and there remains only
about 1900, feet to go. The surface
work progresses at the rate of about
very favorably. The company which
Mr.. Cramond represents, which is q
subsidiary concern of the Warren
Brothers. the parent concern, is en-
gagged upon paving jobs i'm various sec
tions of the country, and from here Mr..
Cramond will go to Toledo Ohio, to
look after a job there. Cleveland,
Cincinnati. Detroit and other cities
are paving many streets with bituli-
thic and this form of pavement is con-
tinually growing more popular. The
bitulithic people have in operation
throughout the country about eighty
of the big plants such as are in oper-
alton here, some being even larger
and having rock crushing outfits in
addition to the mixers, etc. The work
here has been hampered by delays IN
receiving supplies of suitable rock and
Mr.. Cramond believes that consider
able time and money could have been
saved by having a crusher here, In
stead of depending upon outside par
ties.
