Entered the Army.

At Cumberland last Friday, according
to the Times of that city, Charles R..
Nutter, of Oakland, enlisted in the Reg
ular Army and was accepted for the
cavalry on account of his prior service,
as only previous service men can get
into the cavalry, and will later be sent
to Fort MYer, Va. Nutter was a race
track man and has gone into cavalry to
get better idea of horsemanship, for
he believes that an enlistment in the
cavalry arm of the service is as good
as three years with race track horses. )"

CONTEST SCULPTOR'S WILL
Ward Sisters Talent Hidden,
Her ATTORNEY Alleges.

Protest against the probate of the will
Of J. Q. a. Ward. the sculptor. was fled
IN the Surrogate's Office yesterday BY Ed
win A Watson. of Truax & Watson, rep
resenting Miss Eleanor Ward. the dead
mans sister. Other contestants of the will
are Eleanor w Ayres and Henry Ward a
niece and nephew, who are represented by
Frederick B. Woodruff
indus influence on the part of Mrs
Rachel NJ. Ostrander Smith Ward, the
principal legatee, was charged. and it was
alleged that Mr.. Ward was incompetent to
make a will.
Mr.. Watson said yesterday:
TT may not be expected that a man
must provide for his sisters Yet here is
q case where this sister, as gifted as he
and giving promise OF becoming as great a
sculptor. deliberately held back bv him
that she might not interfere with his ris-
ing fame. That we believe imposed an
obligation on him. and We contend 1t was
recognized by him Then the present Mrs
Ward. who was his housekeeper, comes
along, and a will is drawn I'D which at
tempts by its verbiage to set aside docu-
ments drawn by him years before
There is a peculiar thing about that
will, too There IS no year date on II
1t is dated 1870 And there's a funny at
testation clause. too. It avoids mention of
the date by a most peculiar phrasing, which
I've never seen in any other will"
Mr.. Watson believes the sculptor's estate
will be worth about 100000.
