YOUNG WARNER
WILL IN COURT
MYSTERIOUS DOCUMENT
is BEING CONTESTED
Mrs. Mabel Young Warner Upholds
One Side of Contests Opposed by
Other Heirs TO the j. W. Young Es-
tate-COntested VIII Appeared
Several Months Ago i'm Mysterious
Manner-SuppOsed to Have Been
Written I'm 1898

Another round in the famous bat
tie for the J. w. Young estate is be.
ing fought in the courts of this coun-
~ The gong was sounded at 8
o'clock this morning with Judge Gil
liland as referee. The principals in
this round as in all the others which
have proceeded it are Mrs. Mabel
Young-Warner on the one side and the
other heirs to the estate on the other.
Attorney d. w. Bailey represents Mrs.
Warner while Fee, Phelps and Lowell
are looking after the interests of the
other heirs and of G. w. Rice as ad-
ministrator under the will which is
now being reprobated.
The will being contested and which
appeared under mysterious circum-
stances a few months ago, was sup
posed to have been written and signed
Nov. 21, 1898, and witnessed by Louis
Ragel and S. V. Knox.
Ragel is dead, but his daughter.
Mrs. Della Stacey, is alive and claims
to have been present when the will
was signed by Knox and when her
father placed his mark on the docu-
ment, not being able to write.
Mrs Stacey has been the only wit
ness examined today, she having been
kept on the witness stand continuous
up since this morning. She has made
a good witness and If she is speaking
a part-she has learned it well for all
the efforts of Attorney Fee to cause
her to mix up her story have failed.
The manner in which she tells incl
dents which occurred at that time and
he exact words of the conversation
IS marvellous.
Knox will probably be the next wit
less placed in the stand by Mrs. War
ner's attorneys in their efforts to
prove the will and then the other at
orneys will introduce witnesses in
heir efforts to show that the will is a |
orgery, this being the allegation
contained in the complaint.
Like all the other rounds in this |
amous battle. which has been in pro.
yress in the courts Of the county for
he past three years, this one promis-
$ to be hard fought. Regardless of
he decision in the county court the
'ase is sure to be appealed to a higher

acres was S37,5OO or SIS per acre.
This land is located near the town

The free entry of sugar into the United States from all parts of the world would mean q loss to these Islands which would be felt severely.
