REFUSED To ADMIT
WILL To PROBATE
IN SPARTA CASE
Testament of John II. Ell
1iott to go to the Circuit
Court.
ABOUT $4,000 INVOLVED
Father Has Use of the
Farm at North Freedom
Until His Death.
ABOUT $4,000 INVOLVED

At Sparta Judge Mccoy has refused
to ad nit to probate the will of Joh n
Ell. Elliott, a former resident of Valley
Junction, who died some months ago
at Tomah. lie held that the will was
void on the ground that Elliott was
mentally incapable of making a valid
will. Notice of an appeal from this
decision has been filed by the bene.
ficiaries of the will through their at
torney and the matter will be review
ed by the circuit court.
Mr.. Elliott was about 81 years Of
age, a bachelor, and had lived in the
vicinity of Valley JUNCTION for several
years, part of the time with J. V.
Mccullough and subsequently, lived
alone. Last summer he became very
i'll and in order that he might be
cared for the attending physician had
him brought to Tomah. He was cared
! for ct the home of G. w. Fisk, under a
contract to pay $40 per week for care.
A few days later he died, having mean
while had his will drawn up .and
executed, devising $500 to Mr. Fisk,
the balance of his estate to J. V. Nc
! Collough.
The value of his estate is supposed TO
be about $4,000, consisting of his share
of the family farm near North Free
dom. His father is still living on the
farm near North Freedom and has the
use of it until his death.
The will was contested by Jefferson
D. Elliott of North Freedom, brother
of the decedent, who is cripple. It
was alleged that Elliott was of un-
sound mind and that undue influence
was exercised upon him when he made
the will.

ALFALFA IN COUNTY
ON THE INCREASE
Interesting Statistics Gath
cred by County Superin-
tendent Davies.

Some time ago the state issued a re-
port on the acreage of alfalfa in Wis
consin and found but forty acres in
Sauk county. This set County Super
intendent g. w. Davies of North Free
dom to investigating and he found
80 acres. sWas also found that the
town of Baraboo led, Honey Greek,
Sumpter and Woodland following
close after. There was but one acre
in Delloua and this was the lowest of
all the towns. Alfalfa is a wonderful
crop and every farmer should see to
the merits of the rapidly increasing
hay product.

ROCK COUNTY HAS
UNUSUAL TANGLE

When GAINESVILLE was reassessed the
state put in bill of Sc. 600 for services.
This the city did not pay and the
state took the $4,000 out Of the auto
mobile license money when that was
recently remitted. The county board
of Rock county will take the case to
the supreme court 10 find out how to
get the money either from the state or
the city. One or the other must
jlugle $4,000 into the county treasury.
In Sauk county when Winfield was
assessed by the state, bill wss sent
to County Clerk Wood, who will see
that it goes into the budget against

dinner ready, fire blazed up about the

the roof was cut away and water
played its part in making a kitchen
in which to prepare hnrryup din

The fire got between the ceiling and

remarkably short time after the alarm

serious loss. Dinner was served as

FROM BARABOO-
To BUGARAMANGA
Voyage Up the Magdalena
River Described by
Mrs. Williams.
MONKEYS AND PARROTS
Novel Way a Yankee Out
witted an Old Sea Captain
Correct Boat Dress.
Part II.

Fortunately we secured an express
maiP' boat up the Magdalena river
after Speeding but o ne night in Bar
ranquilla. AS it is the rainy season,
all rivers are full to overflOwjng and
we made rapid progress up TIE stream.
Everybodys' Magazine for August
has true-to-life description OF this
trio up the MagdaIen3. The author
of that article met with no more inter
esting characters on the trip than 1t
is possible to encounter on any I)ur-
ney up or down this river. Almost
the first person we met when we en-
barked at Barranquills, was Yankee,
a fellow passenger on the boat out
from New York. On that ship he had
brought from the states to Colombia,
a large consignment OF Plymouth
Rock chickens and 400 canary birds,
each in its own tiny log cabin csge.
These he had delivered in the "A hours
after landing and had purchased 80
MONKEYS and large number of par
robs TO carry back to New York. He
could not have wasted many of The
"a hours. But here he was with his
interesting cargo going up the Mag
daIena river instead of toward New
York. He laughed at our bewllder-
ment but explained at last that when
he went to purchase his ticket for New
York, the agent of the Steamship
company refused to sell him one. 10
this the agent was insligated by the
captain of the boat which was just
leaving mort bound Tor New York. The
captain said he would not have oil those
monkeys on board his ship. 30 thls
American had bought ticket on
the river boat for Calamar, stralgn
mn the river, and from there he was
going to Cartagena by the railroad
which connects those cities, planning
to reach ,Cartagena before the ocean
steamer could do so, and to have MS
ticket all purchased, the passage OF tne
Objectionable monkeys, and the par
rots all arranged for on the same ooaG
that had refused him passage, before
the captain could have a chance 10
interview the agent and forbid the
proceedings. It was amusing to see
him entering so eagerly into the
game of outwitting the captain, who,
after all had some claim to our SYM
pathies. Eighty monkeys for passen-
gers! What captain would not nave
