-Four Colts Killed by Engine.

Four valuable horses were killed
for James Garner last Saturday af-
ternoon. A team Of fine three-year
olds and pair of younger colts at

o'clock freight going east over the
M. & St. L, road last Saturday as
the train sped across the tyson
farm, which Mr.. Garner is working
as tenant. The horses were appar-
emily determined not to yield the
right of way to steam, but the en-
gineer seemingly determined to take
chances of trouble and in less time
than 1t takes to tell it, the big loco
motive tossed the two younger colts
off the track into the water along
side and a few moments later

fully mangling one and killing both.
MIR. Garner asserts that the train
men were in duty bound to slow up
the train and whistle at the point in
question, and is of the opinion that
the slaughter might have been
avoided. There is little doubt of
Gamers having a valid claim for
the value of the animals killed, but
that is small consolation when the
demand for horsefesh is as brisk as
it is now, at the beginning of the
busy season. Had the engine been a
lighter one, the chance of derailing
it with the full-grown colts would
have been worth taking into account
by the engineer.

DR.. Frazier of Nebraska, her son,
and by their attorneys, R. Hazen of
Naper, Nebraska, and Judge Laudon
of this city, who is seeking to have
the will invalidated.
At the hearing the contestants of
the will argued that the testator was
unconscious or practically incompe-
tent to act when the will was submit
ted for his assent and that the doc
ument will not hold in law.
The best witness for the compe-
tence of the testator at the time the
will was drawn was DR.. PenhalI, who
gave as his professional opinion that
Smith was conscious and sane when
the will was consummated.
At the hearing the former matri-
monial alliances of Smith were not
in question, but we hear that the
beneficiary under the will was the
third wife. DR.. Frazier, who is a
graduate Of Col orado's state univer-
sity and a successful practising ply
sician, is the grandson of Smith by
his first marriage and the son of the
daughter named in the will, who is
also a party to the contest.
The property affected by the will
consists of about $500 mainly in
money and small tract of land of
less value. The widow at the Pax
ton agency has the small homestead
in her own right and Mersrs. Nc
Gowan and Executor Human will
undoubtedly do their best to secure
for her the balance of the estate, by
trying to establish the validity Of the
will now in question.

VENGEANCE FOR
BUSTER OWENS
Assassinated for Not Wearing
Muzzle, Legal Talent
Seek Justice.
Test Case to Be Made in Suit
Brought Against Police
man Lauterbach.

Last week the slogan was, Down
with the dogs. Later, when lord
high executioner Lauterbach went
forth with shotgun to enforce the
mandates of the mayor and council
concerning dogs, the outcry was
changed to Dog-gone the Cop !!
There was mourning and threats of
vengeance in some cases, but this
did not avail to save the dogs found
at large without a muzzle. Monday
after the dog executioner had slain
Attorney Owens household pet, Bus
ter. the majesty of the law was in
voked by the issuance from the office
of Attorney Doliff of writ issued
to Policeman Lauterbach and recit-
ing that on the above date he did
wilfully, etc., shoot, kill and de-
stroy one full-blood rat-terrier dog,
ETC., of the value of $25, and de-
handing that said John Lauterbach
pay damages three-fold the value of
said dog, or S75. The hearing on
the suit will probably be had next
week. and will enlist the full legal
talent of the city, with Attorney
Doliff as attorney for the plaintiff,
Attorney Owens, and City Attorney
Howard defending policeman Lau-
terbach, and incidentally the mayor
and council, under whose orders Mr..
Lauterbach is acting. Judge Lau-
don as the only other practicing at
torney in the city, will have the
final say-so on the merits of the COM
plant, unless an appeal is taken to
ahigher court, which seems extreme
ly probable. as both sides appear
confident that they have the law
with them. County Attorney Owens
admits that if Buster was trans
crossing the law he has no better
claim for mercy than mere plebian
cur, but that it will be worth some
thing to know just what Buster
rights were, and that he is going to
see that the shades of Buster do not
cry out against injustice, if injustice
has been done.

INDIANS WILL
IS CONTESTED
Two Heirs of the Late Samuel
G. Smith Alle9e Will
Is Invalid.
Aged Indian On Death Bed
When Will Was Drawn,
Hence Contest.

The hearing in probate court last
Saturday, on the will of the late
Samuel Smith, the aged Sioux Indian
who died at the Agency east of this
city last February, developed one of
the most important and interesting
will contests that has come before
Judge Evans during his long official
career.
The will was drawn up the night
before the testator died. and the
testimony at the hearing agreed as
to the fact that the aged Indian was
at that time very weak-too weak to
sign the will in question, Rev. St.
Clair, in charge of the agency chapel.
who also acted as interpreter, signing
for the testator, who affixed his
mark.
The testimony went to show that
the will was drawn up by Attorney
w. w. MCGOWAN, there being also
present in the bedchamber of the
dying man his physician. DR.. Penhall
of Morton, Rev. st. Clair and wife,
Geo. Crooks and wife, Mrs. Salisbury
and r. c.. Human, who was made
exec utor under the will.
The wishes of the testator were
elected by the attorney through
questions asked by the interpreter,
the sick man in almost every case
answering with the monosyllable yes.
Test mony was to the effect that this
was his answer when asked whether
he wished to leave his property tc
his wife. and when asked whether
he wished to give anything to his
daughter in Nebraska, he again said
yes and spoke the Indian equivalent
of the word ten, the attorney draw
ing up cls us of the will giving the
daughter $40 out of the estate.
The daughter in question, Mrs
Frazier, is result of the first mar.
riage of the decedent, and it is she
represented here last Saturday by

Heart, there were hours, indeed, thou vert afraid,
So long the spring delayed.
AWAKE. fond heart, and go thou forth and sing!
n Unite thy voice to all this music sweet
OF opening leaf and busy, building wing
And falling showers;
The murmm soft Of little lives newborn,
The armies Of the grass, the myriad feet ~
OF marching flowers.

And might know how In her magic side
Slept the young spring and moved and smiled
and dreamed.
Behold she wakes again and open eyed,
Gazes, in wonder, round the leafy room
At the young flowers Upon this Easter day
Awaken too my heart, open thine eyes,
And from thy seeming death thou, too, arise.
LOW softly blows the resurrection horn
Across the meadows, over the far hills!
In the souls garden new sweetness stirs,
And the heart fills
And in and out the mind flow the soft airs.
Awake, fond heart, and sing this Easter momI
In the years resurrection do thy part.
