STITUTE A CONTEST.

Wheeler. Dec. 23.-The residents
of Fairfax have instituted a contest
in the state circuit court by which
they seek to retain the county seat OF

and Fairfax contends hat they
should not have been counted. II

leave Burke short of the necessary
number of votes to secure h re
moval of the county seat from Fair
fax TO Burke.
The Fairfax people will demand
that these votes be thrown out, ant

in answer TO the bedlam of motor sa-
lutes.
As little joke on the railroads.

session
On the outcome Of the trial. which
IS the most important % its kind TO
be held in New York in many years.
because Of the amount Of property at
stake, the prominence Of the heirs and
the great array OF counsel engaged,
will depend whether Columbia Univer-
sity will receive the resduary estate,
valued at about 100000, or whether
the will offered for probate is TO be
broken and the estate divided among
the heirs at law Of Mr.. Emo.
Contestants in Will Fight.
Contestants are Amos R. +. Pinchot,
Clifford Pinchot, Lady Antoinette John
ston, Professor Henry Lane Emo. Miss
Mary f. Emo and Mrs. Antoinette
Graves, nephews and nieces OF the tes-
tator, and William P. Emo and Mrs.
Antoinette Wood, brother and sister
All were remembered in the will OF
Mr.. Emo, but they contend that when
he left the bulk Of his estate to Co.
lumbia University and Sl,s0O,0O0 to
the General Society Of Mechanics and
Tradesmen he was OF unsornd mind
and under undue influence.
II the estimate OF John r. Stsnch-
field, chief counsel for the contestants,
holds good, IT will require three weeks
TO examine the witnesses for the con-
testants. II is likely that the trial will
occupy as much as six weeks. Asso-
ciated with Mr. Stanchfeld are ex-Sur-
rogate Charles H. Beckett, ex-District
Attorney Charles A. Perkins. Arthur

For the proponents appear Austen q.
