MABEL WARNER
FINDS ANOTHER WILL


NCOHtlnlusu trOm page One.)
straining Mrs. Warner from forging
any more wills, the attorney alleging
that she had forged numerous wills
and would forge others unless restrict
ed from so doing.
There is little belief among attor-
neys here that Mabel Warner will
dare to ask that the "will" be pro-
bated.
History of Noted VIII Case.
j. w. Young was a western pioneer
who died August 26, 1905, leaving an
estate valued at about $4,000. Since
his death, litigation over his estate
has been almost constantly carried on
in the courts. After a long and ex-
pensive legal struggle what is known
as the first will" was finally sus-
tanned by the oregon supreme court
in an opinion handed down by Justice
Mcbride May 81. 1911. This will
gives practically his entire estate to
n niece, Mrs. Norah Watts, the wife
OF DR.. +. d. Watts of Coeur d'Alene.
Idaho.
All Favor Mabel Young Warner.
Three other alleged wills have at
NiLAtltIl tlliltS llldut lutlE appearance
all favorable to Mrs. Mabel Young
Warner. The supreme court has de-
Clared them all to be rank forger-
les" All of them bodied up under
rather mysterious circumstances, and
in Connection with one of them, Mrs.
Warner was tried under a charge of
forgery, but the jury disagreed. An
other was sustained by Henry ]. Bean
while sitting as circuit judge. in which
decision he overruled the probate
court. His decision was in turn over
ruled by the supreme court to which
appeal was taken by the attorneys of
Mrs. Watts. Meanwhile Mrs. Warner
had taken possession of some valuable
land of the estate and had put it in
crop. This property she has since
been ordered to turn over to the appel
liant.
In his decision handed down May
81 Justice Mcbride says of the first
two wills filed in the matter of the
estate of ]. w. Young:
1T is practically conceded, and no
reasonable person can doubt, that both
Wills previously produced were bold,
impudent forgeries."
Early in the present month a mo-
tion for rehearing in the case involving
the third win was denied by the su-
preme court.

soIy in Crusade Against Germs.
Topeka Kans.-Kansas is planning
to shave its cats. The state Board
OF Health took up the matter.
\ few months ago a Chicago sur
geon found six different species OF
deadly germs on the whiskers of an
alley cat. The state board goes one
better and declares that the cat car
ries around many more germs in its
thick fur Hence the order to cut the
fur
shave the cats" said Doctor Dea-
con of the state Board of Health
Keep their hair short Just like you
would a horse or dog. If that is
too much trouble. kill them. for they
are not worth much. anyway"
The board also found that cats go
mad in hot weather. The only known
cause for overheating is too much
hair
Another indictment against the cat
is said to be its aversion to bathing.
For this reason, it is said, it affords
a refuge for germs of a character not
found on cleaner animals.

Charles B. Cheney, the political
writer of the Minneapolis journal,
takes the Houston Signal to task for
reckless assertions made in an article
in favor of the "seven senators" bill.
The Signal writer pretends to believe
that if the state is reapportioned on
the present constitutional basis all
sorts of dire things will happen to the
rural districts. Mr.. Cheney, with in
conference.-the facts and figures, fair
ly riddles the sophistries advanced by
the Signal writer. In the matter of
benefits received from direct taxation
for state purposes the three large
counties of st. Louis, Hennepin and
Ramsey get decidedly the worst of it.,
simply because the assessed valuation
of these three counties is more than
that of the other 80 countless >..@-~ 49,. .

Governor Mann of Virginia has
very properly refused to interfere
with the sentence of the court in the
case of Henry Clay Beattie, jr., who
brutally murdered his young wife, and
the prisoner will consequently have to
die in the electric chair. 'That
Beattie is guilty of the willful, de-
liberate and cruel murder of his wife
I have not the slightest doubt" said
the governor, land I cannot, with
proper regard for the public interests,
interfere with the execution of the SEN
tence of the court by committing it to
life imprisonment. Nor do I question
the wisdom, might add, of the neces-
sity of capital punishment in cases
where human life has been wickedly
and deliberately taken.'' Not the
scintilla of a doubt exists that this
fend deserves the death penalty.

1t is now being figured out that the
English, Scotch and Irish are de-
cendents of the Norsemen, and the
story looks reasonable. Of course if
we look back far enough we are all
decendents of some parents and this
matter of nationality is only a
minor matter.-Lieutenant Governor
GordOn's Inter-Lake Tribune.
Certainly, Brother Gordon, I'VE are
all descendants of some parents. "
No one will dispute that fact. But,
Mr.. Gordon, if you should be can
didate for governor, Notwithstanding
Senator Canestorp's Endorsement,
you will realize, when the votes are
counted, that the question of ma
tionality is a matter of some import in
this great and glorious state of Min
nesota. If, however, you can trace
back your lineage and prove that
your genealogical tree had Norseman
roots it may help some.

Miniature revolutions are springing
up fast in the republic of Mexico and
general strikes are threatened, but
President Madero says he is de-
termined to crush them in their incipi-
ency-that the time for temporizing is
past. Much doubt exists, however, as
to whether he will be able to cope with
the situation. It is just as likely as
not that a revolution surprising in
magnitude the one in which Madero
was successful will spring up, and
that Uncle Sam will be eventually
compelled to send another army down
on the border to protect American in
terests.

In Washington official circles it is
believed Secretary Of Agriculture
Wilson has received the straight tip
from President Taft that he will have
to go, and that he is delaying the an
nOuncement of his forced resignation
until another man can be secured to
take the portfolio. For the good OF
the agricultural department and the
public at large the honorary chairman
of the brewers association-Wilso
should have been lifted out of Office
long ago. A man who is In collision
with food prisoners is no fit person to
be at the head of the government agri-
cultural department.

enviable notoriety in the news

enViable notoriety in the news
columns of the daily papers. A trial
is now in progress at Lincoln Center
in that state where a gang of ten or
twelve men (God save the mark) are
accused Of tarring Mary Chamberlain,
a girl school teacher The story is
revolving. It seems that the Door
girl incurred the Jealous enmity of
some old vinegary, hatchet-faced
]ezebels where she taught school:
the male relatives of the vixens were
melted to tar and feather the girl; a
barber, degenerate specimen of the
Almighty's carelessness, was hired to
lnveigle the girl to accompany him to
dance in the neighborhood; she re-
luctantly accepted his invitation and
at lonely place on the road he made
indecent proposals which she indig-
nantly repulsed; then a gang of things
in the shape of men dragged her from
the buggy, stripped her naked and
applied a coat of tar. Several of the
co"ardly scoundrels, including the
decoy barber and business man
worth half million dollars, have
plead guilty. But under the Kansas
statutes the severest penalty that can
be lnt1lcted-a years imprisonment
is not commensurate with the crime.
Judge Lynch should have melted out
justice to the miscreants at the end of
a strong hempen rope.

WHITTIER VINDIC4TED

At last the long drawn-out Red
Wing Reform school investigation has
been brought to close by the state
board of control reporting unani-
mously that the charges of cruel and
inhuman conduct preferred against
Superintendent F. A. Whittier have
not been sustained by the evidence.
Mr.. Whittier has rendered his resigna-
tion to the board and the same has
been accepted to take effect as soon
as a competent successor can be
found.
Knowing Mr.. Whittier as we do and
have known him for years we never
for moment believed that there was
any real foundation for the charges
preferred against him by refractory
inmates and discharged employees of
the school and their maudlin sympa-
thizers. But no good purpose would
be served by discussing the motives
that prompted the bitter fight that was
waged against Mr.. Whittier. If con-
ditions we're not altogether ideal at
the Red Wing school the present and
former boards of control, and the
legislature, we're largely to blame for
not needing the oft-repeated recon-
mendations of Superintendent Whit
tier.
We only hope that the board of con-
troll may be able to secure a. new
perintendent who will measure 10
with Mr.. Whittier. It will be no easv
matter to find such a man.

James Bryce, British ambassador
at Washington, may be forced to re-
tire in consequence of the attacks
made upon his character by members
of parliament and the English press.
The gravamen of their charges is that
MIR. Bryce co-operated with President
Taft in the reciprocity situation and
failed to inform the British and
Canadian governments that the i'm
perial interests we're jeopardized by
the designs of Taft and others, also
that he has acted as a politician
rather than as an ambassador. Mr..
Bryce has proven himself to be the
most able ambassador that Great
Britain has ever sent to this country,
and if the government decides to de-
mand his resignation merely because
radical newspapers and undertaking
members Of parliament seek to defle
his character it will do so to it's dis
advantage.
