The farmers free list bill went a
kiting through the democratic house
Monday. This is the salve which the
democracy hopes to use to pave the
way to free trade legislation. But the
farmer who already shys at Canadian
reciprocity will be a little wary of the
trap set for him.

BILL OF RELIEF is FILED
41.-ooney Will Case Set for Novembe!
in U. S. Federal Court at
Grand Forks

The contest involving the W. j.
Mooney estate will come before the u S.
federal court at the November term 10
Grand Forks, bill of relief being fled
on Monday morning with Miss Helen
Hamilton, the clerk of the court in
that jurisdiction, by Attorney Perry S.
johnson, of Grand Forks acting for the
plaintiff, Mrs. Clinton Mooney Frazier
of Philadelphia, Pa, formerly Mrs. w.
j. Mooney of Langdon and Minneapolis.
In this bill of relief it is alleged that
the will that is sought to be established,
under the provisions of which Mrs.
Mooney would receive the entire estate
outside of the life insurance, was drawn
by the deceased w. j. Mooney on or
about Dec, 1908, and that the contents
of that will was made known to John B.
Mooney, the defendant in these proceed
ings and Mrs. Mooney, his step, mother,
on or about Jan. l, 1909
At that time Mrs. Mooney alleges that
her husband told them of this will, set
ting forth his reasons for making the
division of the property in that manner
1t is also alleged that there are other
parties, friends of the deceased whom
Mrs. Mooney said we're aware of the
contents of the will, Mr.. Mooney having
told of it while on their way from Lang
don to New York where his death took
place in the ocean in the accident of the
Republic short time afterwards. That
these other parties were aware of the
will in question was unknown to Mrs.
Mooney, she says, until within the last
sixty days.
1t is contended that following Mr..
MONEYS death that his desk and the
papers in the bank in which he is in
terested were carefully searched and
that it " as then reported that no such
will as is now sought to be esta blished
was found. The fact that will has
been produced and probated under the
terms of which the estate is divided
equally, that same will reverting the in
come from her share of the estate to
John Mooney in the event of Mrs:
| MONEYS remarriage within ten years and
the further fact that Mrs Mooney
has already remarked within the
ten years adds interest to the action now
in court.
