to the death Of the late Mrs. Johns, a
resident of Hardin county for many
years. she executed will bequeathing
to her brothers, Frank and Nathan
nsbarger. eighty acres Of land, por-
tons Of the Johns farms.
Exception was taken to the will by
other members of the family, and the
court was appealed to to decide the
matter of the legality of the will, 1t
having been demonstrated that Mrs.
Johns had prepared a will some eigh
teen years previous.
The decision Of Judge Wright was
that the previously made will should
stand. and by reason of the fact the
eighty acres which would have gone
to the brothers, will not go to them.
They recently were paroled from
prison after serving twenty seven years
for murder it is doubtful il they
committed. They depended on the be-
quest of their sister to keep them in
their old age.

variety represented by the sellers. the
purchasers may recover damages in the
amount Of the difference between the
value OF the crop raised and the value

raised had the seed been as repre-
sented
The case was that of Seward Nelson

the Mammoth Cluster which grew 10

ten bushel lots at s2.5o per bushel.
Many farmers o. the county bought.
When The crop grew it showed that a
ordinary small variety, much of il had
smut mixed in It and the grade was
not as represent ed as 10 the yield.

Many of the purchasers in the coun-

pose of for seed at a fancy price AS
result they grew . hnaeh 81 mixed and
smGtty oats which were inferior 10 the
ordinary variety grown in this local
ity.
While the judgment is issued it is
understood that the concern is ex
ecution proof and there is little chance
of recovering on the judgment. A

pay cash for the seed, but gave notes
due upon the harvesting Of their crop
have refused 10 pay the notes and
