WIDOW WINS $4,000
IN FIGHT FOR MILLION
Mrs. W. C. Juttie Gains Point
in Suit for Husbands
Estate.

PITTSBURG, June 2s.--Frank T.
Hoffstot, OF New York. president of
the Pressed Steel Car Company, and
the estate Of the late James w. Friend,
who was his partner, have been de-
feated for the first time in the long
litigation which has been carried on
against them by the widow of w. G.
lutte. the millionaire coal man OF
Pittsburg, who shot himself In an At
lantic City hotel a couple OF years
ago.
Mrs. lutte asserts that she was
wrcngfully deprived by Hoffstot and
Friend of her husband estate of more
than 100000, and won her first
victory yesterday by being awarded q
special fund of $4,000. representing
money of her own which she had in
vested. With this money she viii now
be able to wage further fight.
The Colonial Trust Company of
Pittsburg was named administrator OF
the lutte estate. and at once began
an action against Hofrstot nd Friend
for 81. GOO. 900 for securities and agree
ments from lutte which they held. 1t
was alleged they secured these agree
ments while lutte was insane. 1t was
further claimed that the property
thus secured was worth far more than
the amount loaned.
The HofYstot and Friend claims
covered everything that lutte pos
sessed, including even a claim on mis-
fine East End home. Mrs. lutte and
the trust company failed to gain their
case, but Mrs. lutte kept UP her fight
for certain money of he rown In the
securities Hoffstot and the Friend
estate have bitterly fought even thia
claim OF the widow.
1t Is stated that Mrs. lutte will now
continue her night on new lines. In
the original case of the widow and
the Colonial Trust Company. Cassie
Chadwick's transactions were brought
in as a side issue.

that they had done themselves proud.
Harvard has a great advantage in the
experience of her men and also four

Reasons For
Z Supporting weieh

There are three candidates in the field
for sheriff of Stark County at the COM
ing general election: j. A. Wiech, the
present incumbent of the Office here, he
is serving his first term in that capacity :
Nj. fBoowser, the Democratic nominee
and P. j. Pelisier who is an indepen-
dent candidate for the Office.
As to the qualifications of the last
two gentlemen named we know nothing,
but we do know. and the records of the
county will prove it. that J. "A. Wiech
has given Stark county the most
economical administration in the Office
of Sheriff than it has had for many
years.
His bills to the County were always
absolutely correct the proof Of which
lies in the fact that non of his. claims
against the county have been put in so
taas to make Unnecessary for the Commits

not imply that anything was neglected
or cheapened. NJ. Stark county never
received more efficient and faithful SER

rendered by J. A. Wiech, during the
