Suit for Possession Of an Estate Left
by Deceased Hubby.

Muskogee, okla, Dec. 13.-Two wo-
men, both claiming to be legal wives
OF Amos Harmer, wealth citizen
OF Porum, Okla, are fighting in the
courts here for possession of an es-
tate valued at $4,000 left by the de-
ceased, who died in Fort Smith hos
pital last February.
The will which Harmer left and
which is being attacked and evidence
brought out in the case show that
Harmer has had more wives than
most men. Mrs. Della Harmer of
Porum was Harmers last wife. Here,
contesting the WILL is Mrs. Margaret
+. Harmer of Syracuse, Neb. The
latter alleges that Harmer never Sc
that his last was not legal wife.
On the other hand, the last Mrs.

Harmer to admit that she, Margaret,
lived with Hammer for two years as
a common law wife but that later
she and Harmer We're married legal
ly, after each had secured divorce
from a former husband and wife. In
addition to these two 1t appears that
Harmer has had at various times two
other wives.
This multiplicity of wives has made
one of the knottiest will cases ever
brought up in the courts here. Prior
to moving to Oklahoma Harmer was
a clerk Of the district court Of Norton
county, Kansas.

their work was completed that they
had an immense stock on hand, the
orders being Cancelled. There was
