HOLOGRAPH|C WILL
 THIRTY YEARS OLD
BROUGHT TO LIGHT AFTER SET
 ELEMENT OF ESTATE.
The Affairs of the Hannas and the
 BartIettes Involved.

When Judge Kibbey of kibbey. Ben nett X Bennett, yesterday filed in probate court a petition for the admis- sion of the will of Mrs. Sylvia Ware Hoyt Hanna. there was disclosed a situation which might be made the ground work for romance The pc tition was offered in behalf of Mrs Helen Hoyt Bartlcttc of Glendale. the devisee of the will and the niece of Mrs Hanna.
 The Hannas and Bartlettes moved ~fost from Massachusetts great many years ago and settled at Peoria His. They have been residents of the Glendale and Peoria country for sev- cral years. The estate involved con- sists Of land in the neighborhood of Glendale. valued at from s12.000 to sl5.000. and some real estate in Mas sachusetts.
 On January %. 1907, Mrs. Bart lctte was committed to the hospital for the insane, from which she was lately discharged. On February 6. a week later her aunt. Mrs. Hanna. died. and in due time her estate, which consisted entirely of community property. was admitted to probate. Mir. Hanna believed there was no will: he had never seen one, had never heard of one and was therefore ad- judged to he the sole heir The es- tate was finally settled in June of 1908.
 4 part of the estate. that is. about half the land. was sold to Vernon Cook and others. The rest of it is still in the possession of MT. Hanna.
 When Mrs Bartlette was discharg- ed from the asylum and learned of her aunt's death and the disposition of the estate she recalled a hOlosraph- ic will which Mrs. Hanna had exc cuted at Deerfield. Mass February 25. 1879. in which she bequeathed to Mrs. Bartlette all property. personal and real, including my share Of the real estate owned by us jointly. to- gether with all household furniture, books. pictures. plate. china. watch and jewelry. wardrobe and all other property whatsoever which may be in my possession or stand in my name at the time of my decease." The win continuing. says: And in bequeath- ing my property to my ~hrother Dav- ids daughter. I bequeath it to her alone. It is not to be shared pr con trolled by her husband or any other person in any way
 The relations between MT Hanna and Mrs. Bartlette have always been of the friendiest character and there is said to be no animosity in conse- quence of the complications which have arisen. That MT. Bartlette was unaware of the existence of the will at the time he applied for the admis- sion of the estate to probate is not doubted and it is stated that he gen. uineness of he will is not questioned by him now.
 What effect its discovery will have upon the title of property which has passed out of the estate is naturally

BLACK JACK IN TRAINING
 FOR WILD WEST SHOW
His Intended Rider Also Puts Himself
 On Diet.

Bert Bryan has sworn off smoking big black two-bit cigars and drinking anything softer than milk or harder than grape juice. in order to be in share to take care of the Black Jack horse tomorrow afternoon at the wild west Indian show to be given at the fair grounds for the benefit of the Crittenton Home. Black Jack in the meantime has been put on dry feed and gives evidence of being full of the spirit of vim, vigor and victory that presages one of the most eXcit-
 ing tussles ever witnessed in the ter ritory when he and Arizona's cham pion bronco buster get together to try conclusions. That's whatever.
 Bryan does not underrate his com petitor's prowess. as he states that from the actions of the animal ia the corral the latter will give him a hard fight But that S100 wager looks good to Bryan. and he intends r. have it. if his skill and nerve and pnSsical endurance can turn the trick. and so he has taken unto himself the part of the man who never drinks. nor smokes. nor swears: who never gam bles never nirts. who shuns all worldly snares"-he's-bu no. Bryan is not paralyZed. as was the man re- ferred to: he is simply determined to leave no stone unturned in his effort to win. and his money is up to say that he can.
 4 photographer will be on the ground for the purpose of securing some high-class pictures of the buck ing events. as these reproductions command s ready sale among the best class of dealers in the east.
 The cowboys and Indians, headed by a band. will give parade about noon and will march to the fair grounds. arriving in time to get everything in shape for the performance.

system is nearly finished along the At
lantic coast. 1t will enable US to travel
with yachts, launches and households
the inland waterways, distance of
1000 miles without going to sea, and
have the finest fishing and hunting all
the way, with plenty of oranges, grape
fruit and other citrus products lining
the banks. In a word, it's dream, a
paradise down there.
Another and perhaps the greatest
of all improvements is the drainage
and reclamation of the famous Flori la
Everglades. They cover district as
large as two or three New England
states. The work was begun by Gov.
Broward newly elected United States
senator. The work is being carried on
by his successor, Gov. Gilchrist. The
drainage canal is sixty feet wide and
$50 miles long, with depth sufficient to
drain the entire Everglades region.
"This work done will give the state
a vast territory of the greatest known
fertility, the ideal land for raising sug-
or cane; so rich is the soil that the cane
will reproduce itself for a period of
from three to nine years without re-
planting, fertilizng or even cultivation.
It surpasses the cane lands of Cuba
and Jamaica. The values of this land
has been increased from rs cents to
$50 an acre, and many think it will soon
command 81, 900 an acre. The crops of
each year will pay for the land at the
advanced price.
Eve are prosperous and daily grow
ing more so. Money is easy and the
banks are on solid conservative basis.
Turpentine has advanced to thu highest
point in recent years. Mr.. Flagler's
railroad extension down the Florida
keys into the Gulf of Mexico to Key
West must revolutionize the state. 1t
will be ready for business this autumn.
Solid trains will be carried on board
transports from the end of the road to
Havana, a distance of only ninety miles.
Passengers need not leave the cars be-
tween New York and Havana. 1t will
make Florida a whirlwind for men bent
on pleasure and business"
Judge McGarry asserts that Florida
is the coming state of the Union and
since his return home has expressed
surprise that as great as has been the
influx of new settlers, that he was
cognizant from what he had heard
throughout the territory which he had
covered that the trend of immigration
was Floridaward, but was far greater
than he had hoped for.

Judge Thomas F. McGarry, president

a business trip to New York and the

several weeks. &,
Since Judge McGreary has taken up
his residence in Florida, several years
ago, the state has not had more loyal

While in New York the judge gave
out an interview that has attracted
widespread attention. 1t was published
in the New York Herald and embraces
many questions concerning this state
that are not &c ,erally known by those

NEARING COMPLETION

1t will not be such great while be-

concerned there is scarcely any indi'
