ALLEGED GRANDSON.
ASKS THAT CONTRACTS
De DECLARED VOID
!. s. Hoover Comes Forward A. Sole
Heir Of Big Estats-AlIssss To Be
Grandson Of Mrs. MeAush, and That
Father Was, Burned to Death in
Michigan Forest Fire.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Ida Grove, Jan. 7.-Sheriff Mcleod. Of
Ida county, has just made returns on
three original notices served in this
county that will again reopen the Nc
Hugh will contest case. 1t was thought
that this big case had reached a final
settlement. but last week a Sioux City
attorney, o. T. Naglestad. for his client.
I. S. Hoover, sent original notices here
for service that brings into the spot
light another heir to this big estate.
The three notices served by Sheriff Nc
Leod are on D. II. Hedrick as legatee
under the will of Mrs. McHugh. and
also as administrator, and the other is
on her son, LIE Roy Hoover. Notices
were also sent to Sioux City to be
served on nephew of the late Mrs.
McHugh's husband, j. II. Meirs. who
inherited under her WILL and the other
was sent to Oregon to be served upon
j. H, Simmons, brother of the late
Mrs. McHugh.
The original notice asks that the
court set at nausht any and all con-
tracts made by and between the four
above mentioned legatees and that any
and all agreements as to settlement
and division of the estate be set aside
and declared null and void. The new
claimant also states that his petition
will be on file with the clerk of the
district court of Ida county in time for
a hearing at the February term OF the
district court which convenes on Feb.
II.
Grandson Makes Claims.
S. T. Hoover. the grandson. as ne
claims, Of the woman who left a big
estate, says that he is the rightful helr
to the estate. He says that his father.
the son of Mrs. McHugh, was burned
to death in a forest nre in Michigan,
and that he has the proofs necessary 10
establish his claim to the estate. Many
of the old timers in Iowa Grove recall
to memory when that report was re-
ceived in Ida, Grove, and one person IN
particular. an old tenant of the deao
woman, remembers Of the event.
Just what phase this will put on the
claims of the man who Is now here ana
claims to be son of Mrs. McHugh, IS
hard to say, and until the new claimant
has filed his petition, the charges that
he will bring are only conjectures, out
it has certainly caused a stir among
the. legal fraternity identified with the
settlement 'of the big estate, as 1t mas
been generally sconjctured that settle
menta had beer reached and that there
were no more claimans who could
come in for a division.

arm was slipped through a broken
glass, set In front Of the barred win
dow sash and the paddock holding
down the sash unlocked. There was
slight commotion as the boys Slip
ped through the window, and into the
basement. AS soon as they had en-
tered, the witnesses testified, the boys
placed masks over their faces. took
out their pistols and held them in
shooting position, and flashed their
pocket lanterns" advanced toward the
staircase, leading to the second floor.
AS they drew opposite the counter
behind which the policemen were
concealed. Policeman Mayfeld arose
and called to the boys, Hold up your
hands, boys" Without answering the
challenge, it was testified, the boys
opened fire first.
They fired two shots, it was testi-
fled, and then the three policemen,
realizing their danger, opened fire. A
total of 10 shots were fired An eX-
that young Smith had fired once, Mar
tin twice and the policemen ~ times,
together. AT that moment the clerks
upstairs hearing the terrible commo-
ton, threw the electric switch and the
dark basement was flooded with light.
Father Very Bitter.
MIR. Smith is not without consid-
cradle feeling against the police and
others who were with them on the
fatal night. "While l do not uphold
my son in what he did" said Mr..
Smith, 81 do feel that the police and
the employees of Hahbs-Henderson
company, who suspected my boy of
entering the store, at least a week
ago, as they testified at the inquest,
should have given me some warming
of the matter, or have let my boy
know that they suspected him. Had
they notified me, / know that
could have avoided this terrible trag-
edy; or had they notified the boy
am certain it would have frightened
him out of doing anything like this"
The father is very firm in his be-
lief that the boys did not fire the
first shots in the basement of the
store, for does not believe any man
would be brave enough to face the
revolvers of three policemen, with
their fash lights playing in. his face,
nd fcTIt 10 1,n h1
ed attention to the fact that for sew
eral nights one policeman watched
the store alone, ana the on the last
night nine men took up the watch
He feels very firmly that the trouble
could have been corrected without
bringing about the death of the boys
Mr.. Smith called attention to the
testimony of DR.. r. y. Smith, who
stated that Leonard Smith was shot
once in the back He feels that the
boy was shot while running and was
not killed iii fight with the police.
He stated that of all the people who
called at the home there was not
one but that felt the terrible tragedy
could have been avoided had the po-
lice notified the boys father that his
son was suspected or notified the boy
himself.
In conclusion last night, Mr.. Smith
asked to be quoted as believing that
his son was led into this conduct by
an older companion.

The Servian Trade Union
(By PawIe PawIowitsch, Secretary of
the SerVian National Trade
Union CENTRALLY

OIHOH
Our movement hovers between Opt
mistic hopes, and happenings fraught
with pessimistic forebodings.
The first month of this war crushed
every vestige of life out of our or
ganization. The official journal of the
Centre and of the party the "Radnit
schke Novine," the daily circulation
of which ran into over 5000 copies
before the war, has been obliged to
reduce its number to 800 copies, pub
lished twice weekly. The paper has,
however, been published daily since
March, and the circulation has reach
ed $500 copies. We hope to double
this number after the Rehabilitation.
Other organization work is now be-
ing followed up. We have lately held
several meetings, and same have been
attended by workers in quite unexpect-
ed numbers The imminence of war
between Bulgaria over the division of
the spoils is one of the chief ques
lions dealt with at these meetings.
The tragedy of our position has by
no means ended yet Militarism
claims one generation after another
from among US. On the Goth of April
the last defensive resource, the
youngsters were enlisted as recruits
for the front. Consequently the num-
Der of our readers has again dimin-
ished, but not for long. Thanks to
our efforts we have again attained
the old number.
The May-day festival turned out
far better than had been expected
even by the most sangliine. The old
calendar still exists in Seryia.
Our 18th of April is the list of May
in the western countries. A national
feast takes place five days after May
1st, upon which day historical tradi-
tons are observed by public celebra-
lions and excursions. These recalled
the meetings of the National revolu-
tionists which took place in the for
ests in the spring of last year, for the
purpose of arousing interest IT. the
organization work for the resisting OF
the Turkish regime in Servia. This
tradition exists in all classes of the
community, so that our May day La
Dor festival appeared all the more
heretical an undertaking. One mus
not forget that all able bodied mer
between the ages of Is and 80 are
standing under arms. But neverthe
less through our optimism, we have
been able to record one triumph: Bel
grade regarding with wonderment
| 1000 demonstrators demanding peace
and the establishing of federation O
Balkan Republics. The patriots were
| astounded at the number of the de
lmonstrators, as we'll as at their digni
ged bearing. The guilty conscience o
the government, fearing the effect o
the demonstration, caused all tht
main streets to be lined with sol
diers. The peace loving" govern
ment takes up an absolutely war-lik'
attitude where we are concerned. |

no fresh complications arise. Before
the war we had q central unions, 800
local branches, and 81 trade councils.
Up to the present we have re-organiz-
ed 81 national centres s62 local
branches and trade councils. Dur
ing the depression caused by the war
200 tariff agreements have been sus-
| pended. y
The organizations are again active
in 10 towns. OF all the unions that CT
| the makers of the national boots has
suffered least during the war Its
members were exempted from fight
ing as same had to work for the army.
Out of Sc local groups, IL have al
ready been saved, and now number
667 members, among which are to be
found some farm laborers.
The state of the workers in other
branches of labor is simply atrocious.
At the end of the war it will be still
worse, as the period of grace allowed
in the case of certain obligations will
then expire, and all debts will be-
come payable. In some caIlings the
employers have reduced the wages by
so per cent.
The times are about as bad as they
could be, but nevertheless. we will do
everything to kfndle new life in our
movement, in order that our members
may be in a position to meet the en-
ployers on equal ground, and to bring
about renewed agitation as of old
The great extent to which our ideas
have been taekn UP by the workers is
shown in the fact that although the
party published 5000 copies of the
May journal many thousands more
could have been sold. Last year the
number was only 1000 copies. We
hope soon to be able to report such
progress in all spheres of action.
