Sensation is following fast on sem
sation in the Warner-Young will con-
troversy and from present indications
the hearing now in progress is to
make all former hearings and trials
in connection with this case pale to-
insignificance. The heirs who are
contesting the last alleged will are now
having their inning and the attorneys
for their side have entered into the
task of proving the will a forgery.
In face of the fact that Mrs. Della
Stacey swore that she witnessed her
father make his mark on the will and
sign. in Jim Young's hardware store
in Weston, Nov. 81, 1898, and in spite
of the fact that S. V. Knox swore that
he signed the will in Young's store
on that date, the other side this morn
ing produced a bill of sale, showing
that Young did not buy the store un-
til in December of that year. They
also placed George Stages on the stand
who swore that he did not sell the
store to Young until in December of
that year.
As a further move in the impeach-
ment of the testimony of these two
star witnesses other witnesses are be-
ing placed in the stand to testify as to
the general reputation of Knox and
Mrs. Stacey, as to truth, veracity and
honesty.
While on the stand yesterday after
noon Mrs. S. c. Purcell swore that
Knox had stolen her chickens and
Mrs. o. T. Douglass and James Ash
worth swore that Knox had forged a
note and that his reputation for hon
esty, truth and veracity was bad.
Chance Turner also corroborated the
testimony of the other witnesses as
to Knox's reputation for truth and
veracity while DuPuis told of having
caught Knox in the act of stealing
wood from the shoemaker.
w H. Getchell, formerly city mar
shall of Weston, but now living at La
Grande, was also placed on the stand.
He not only swore that Knox's repu-
tation as to truth and veracity was
bad, but declared he had caught him
stealing Jones wood and Pauley's
chickens. He also declared that Mrs.
Della Stacey was a notorious charac-
Ter in La Grande.
Mrs. Douglass also volunteered the
statement on the stand that ]. w.
Young had told her that Knox was a
rascal and advised her not to let him
have anything to do with drawing up
some papers. Getchen also declared
hat Young had no use for Knox. and
ne did not believe the hardware mer-
'hant would have permitted Knox to
have signed his will as a witness.

that she has an extreme lateral mo-

ment at the Birch creek junction of
the Pilot Rock road a little over
year ago.
