They Are Too Costly SO j. Luth-

Pauper's Box for Man Who
Makes Boy Rich.

Pittsburg, Kan, June 27.-One of the
most interesting cases ever held IN
Crawford county district court bids fair
to extend well into the week. 1t is
where Sally c. Singer is suing her
brother, J. Luther Taylor, and mother,
Mary c. Taylor, to set aside will LETT
bv Joe l. Taylor, husband and father
of the litigants, on the grounds of I'M
due influence having been used by j.
Luther Taylor, who was left the lion 5
share of the property and moneys by
the deceased, amounting to something
like $3.50. 900. The defendant Taylor is
at the head of the Pittsburg Mortgage
company and has been here for nearly
all of his life.
Leaves Woman Small sum.
The will was made leaving Sally c.
Singer. a daughter, $4,000, from which
it was provided in the will that she
could use only the income from the
principal and that at the time of her
death the principal was to revert to ].
Luther Taylor and he was to handle
the $4,000 for his sister and get the
income for her. He received the bal
ance of the estate with the exception
of $4,000 which was bequeathed to
Baker university, and the sum of
$4,000, the income from which was to
be used to educate the children of j.
Luther
The case is attracting great interest
because Of the large amount of money
involved. Strong legal talent has been
employed on both sides.
The mother is in attendance at the
court and frequently prompts the at
torneys in the examination of Wit
nesses. She is strongly in sympathy
with the son and neither of the de-
PENDANTS deigns to notice the plain
tiff and her husband either in or out
side Of the court room.
Body Clad in Underwear.
Considerable damaging evidence has
been drawn out against the defend
ants relating to their part of the case.
In one instance it was shown by a de-
position that J. Luther Taylor acted
very misery towards the body of his
father while in Claremore, Ok, where
the father had gone for his health and
died. It was testified in the deposit
ton that Taylor refused to pay for
anything but a pauper's coffin for his
fathers body and when he noticed Che
nickel plated handles on the coffin he
had them removed because they cost
a dollar. He refused to buy a suit
of burial clothes, and wanted the
home in a nude state. but he was
finally prevailed upon to buy a suit of
underwear which was worn by the
body.
This was the most sensational testi-
mony given during the trial and there
has been plenty Of the sensational IN
the testimony at various points in the
trial.
The Taylors are pioneers of the
county, Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Taylor came
here in 1873 and settled on d claim
north Of the city and after years Of
hard work accumulated a moderate for
tune.

Wolf Hunt at Bassett.

Long Pine Journal: A coyote chase
by small party of men from this vi
cinity, furnished no little amount of
excitement and pleasure last Sunday.
Although the crowd of horsemen
was small, they managed to scare up
three coyotes in the M. f. Hughes
neighborhood and gave them a good
chase. The chase lasted for about six
miles and darkness came on giving
the animals a chance to make their
escape.
The party arrived at the home of
Bert Millard about noon and although
not expecting company for dinner,
Mrs. Millard provided a good substan-
tial dinner for the whole crowd which
was greatly appreciated by all.
In that neighborhood the coyotes are
numerous and give the farmers and
ranchmen no little amount of trouble
A big hunt will be arranged to take
place in the near future and 1t is
hoped that a good bunch from Long
Pine will turn out to help dispose OF
these troublesome animals. Bassett
has always done her part in every
| wolf hunt which has been pulled off
so at the coming hunt let Long Pine
! people all turn out and make their line
a strong one.

Echo of Murder Case.

ONeill Frontier: An echo of the
Slattery murder trial is heard again
in a late decision of the supreme
court. Rafe Shaw brought suit against
Holt county for services as a special
bailiff during that trial and secured
judgment in the district court for
$2OS.60. The supreme court reverses
the Judgment of the district court of
this county and dismisses the case,
holding that there is no authority in
law for a district judge to appoint a
special bailiff to hold witness for
an indefinite time.
In this case, James j. Thompson, a
witness for the state, failed to furnish
bond for 81 900 to appear at the trial
and Shaw was appointed special
bailiff and had Thompson in custody
for a period of eighty-eight days. He
filed a claim for the services and the
same was not allowed when suit was
brought in district court. The plain
tiff in this case is son of the murder
ed man, Henry Shaw, and the witness
Thompson was working for the
Shaws.
County Attorney Whelan received
notice yesterday from the clerk of the
supreme court of the reversal Of judg

West Point Democrat Upon the
report of Mrs. Peter Kalp, County At
torney Hugo Nicholson swore out a
complaint yesterday for the arrest of
Peter Kalp on the charge of assault
and battery. We are informed that
on Wednesday evening he clinched
his wife's throat until she despaired of
her life He struck her down and
with his feet bruised her arm and
chest in a hideous manner. Yester-
day forenoon she made her way to
another home and to prove her story
showed her bruises. He served ten
days in the county Jail last fall for
abusing his wife. She is in fear OF
him and hesitates to testify against
him. Consequently his beating her is
not an unusual occurrence. When a
man degrades himself to a brute and
abuses a helpless person, it is time
that men in a civilized community like
ours lay a strong hand on the brute.
