SONS CONTEST WILL.
Suit Begun to Set Aside Request Mad.
by SiIas Mckniqht

An effort to break the will Of Silas
Mcknight, who died in Timber Creek
township, was begun late Thursday In
the district court by his sons, A. o. and
Fred Mcknight. They seek to have
set aside the beauest of their fathers
will by which their only brother, Guy
Mcknight, was bequea thed 5000 in
money and some real property, while
they were cut off with nothing.
The brothers allege in their petition
that their father was unqualified
mentally to make a will, that he was
suffering from senile debility, and that
