IN WILL CONTEST
Decision Of Probate Court
Probably Will Be

Devils Lake. N. D.. Sept. 27.-Prob-
aoiiities are that, there will be an APP
peal to the district court from the de-
ciston OF the county probate court In
the case that has been instituted by
legal heirs Of Henry Barensheer In an
effort to set aside the will that was left
by him. and in which he makes his
widow the sole heir to about $4,000
worth OF property. The probate court
held h will was good.
SIX children were absolutely cut out
by the. provisions of the instrument,
and they contend that that fact re-
suited from an oversight and not from
intent upon the part Of the deceased.
The question raised was that the will
could not stand In view Of the fact
that the names OF the children mad not
been mentioned in any maner unless 1t
could be show positively that such
oversight was Intentional.
Il give, bequeath and devise to my
beloved wife. DoriseB. Barensheer, the
will reads" all by property. both real
and personal. to her " use and
benefit, hereby authorizing and
powering her to use. dispose and con-
troll said property. as she may deem
Just and proper"
In the testimony that was offered in
the probate court by the defense in
support of admitting the will to pro-
bate It was indicated by witnesses that
on several occasions during his life
he had signifed his desire to give all
of his property to his wife to the ex-
clusion of his children"

ftrmed. The case comes from Ramsey

ton Of unreasonable neglect on the

lants to a dismissal of h action. I'M
less good cause for the delay be
shown.

because of such failure to prosecute
the determination thereof is q matter
In the sound discretion of the court.

Young Held for Trial But Not for the
Big Charge.

Fargo, n. D.. Sept. 27.-John
Young. confessed train robber who
was one Of the trio that held up the
North Coast Limited just out Of Far
go on the night of July 10 last. ap-
peared in the court of Judge Roberts
yesterday and waived examination.
He vas bound v to the district
court and is held in the custody of
the sheriff under a $4,000 bail not
being able to furnish the amount.
He was rather surprised at the fact
that he was not charged with train
robbery. The complaint resd to him
charged Young with robbery of SIS
or more from the person Of Charles
Wheeler, and made no mention Of
train hold-up. He could not discover
the connection, and the cours explain
ed. Wheeler was the conductor in
charge. of the train that raj robbed.
Young will have no attorney rep
%resenting him. At least he says that
n thing he doesn't want is an at
torney. It will. be within the juris-
diction Of the district court to ap-
point for him a legal adviser, but UNI
til that time he will not have a law

TREAT HoNoRED.
Imperial P0tentate Received Bear.

Fargo. N. D., Sept. 27.-Imperial
Potentate Treat is constantly receive
ing attentions while on his present Of
fetal trip through the western states.
While at Tacoma. Wash. where he
was visiting Ann temple. he was made
the recipient Of a handsome bearskin

Aft temple at Tacoma. Mr.. Treat
was welcomed in an address by Bish-
op Frederic w. Keator. following
which the guest of honor was given
all the degrees of an honorary men,
Der Of AMI temple.
The special feature Of the presenta-
ton and acceptance of the distin-
guished guest as an honorary member
was the fact hat while receiving the
offices he stood upon a gigantic Kad-
lac bearskin measuring thirteen. feet
from tip to tip and nine feet. four
inches in width. This rug was imme-
diately afterwards presented to I'm

STOCK Market
+. LESS TURBULENT
Tone Of the Market Was Dis
timely Stronger One:
..'.: Sharp Break

New York. Sept. 27-Trading lin.
stocks was less turbulent today, and
changes were less violent than during
yesterdays .upheaval. The tone Of the
market was distinctly stronger. A
sharp break occurred in the early trad
ing and for a time it appeared an
though another breathless plunge
market soon reacted and during the
remainder of the day ruled well above
the low point.
1t was apparent at all times that the
demand was considerably enlarged.
The change was, pronounced during
the last hour when the market rose
rapidly under the influences of spir.
tied bidding. United States Steel rose
! IL. points above yesterdays close
and ended the day with q net gain of
a point. The preferred gained / ga
on the day. Reading, Lehigh Valley.
Canadian Pacific ana American Smelt-
ing closed a point or more higher, the
Hartman issues nearly as much.
Attorney General Wickersham's
statement of the governments atti-
tude regarding enforcement Of the
Sherman law did little to clear the
situation. Wall street had hoped: for
definite information as to what was in
store for the United States Steel cor
poration and expressed some disap-
potntment because the attorney gem
eral was unable to disclose. his inten-
tons. The deductions was drawn in
some quarters that the tenor Of the
statement indicated that a dissolution
suit was to be filed and the early
break was ascribed largely to selling
based on this theory.
Speculative sentiment was undoubt-
edly helped by the general belief that
q. satisfactory plan had been agreed. on
for dissolution of the American To-
bacco company. It was argued that IL
1t had been found possible to dissolve
this huge corporation on terms upon
which its active heads found 1t pos.
stble to agree with the officials Of the
government, similar result might be
expected in the cases of other corpora
tions should their dissolution be re-
quired.
Atchison's August statement showing
q decrease in net earnings OF. $671,-
900 was a much poorer showing than
had been expected.
The stool sold down a point on the
publication of. the report but subse-
quently recovered.
The total. which exceeded $1,000, 900,
was by far the largest Of the year.
Transactions in the American To-
bacco bonds made up a large part
Of this total. reaching $5,6el,00o.
The six per emf bonds rose 3 3-s, the
fours 2 5-8 and the preferred stock
1 1-2.. The general bond market was
firm: The total sales par value 3d.
$4,000.
United States bonds unchanged on
call.

City of Powers Lake Votes $4,000
Bonds for Improvement.
Powers Lake, N. D.. Sept. 27.-Civic

judged through the fact that the city
