ADMIT WILL OF
MICHAEL LYNCH
TO Be Pd0BATED
Contestants Promptly APP
peal Document Discrirni-
mates Against Many.
Especial to The Farmer)

Newtown, Jan. 13.-The will of Mi
cbael ]. Lynch, Hanover farmer was
admitted to probate yesterday by act
ing Judge of Probate Howard Wood
man. ,,N
The case has had several postpone
ments due, it is said to an earnest eff
fort of friends of the contestants to
get an agreement out of court.
l. All efforts looking towards a com
promise failed, and att the opening of
court at II a. m. An imposing array
of five attorneys confronted the judge.
They were Ives and Heating of Dan
bury, J. j. Cassidy of Waterbury who
appeared in behalf of John Cassidy
of Southbury, who is the executor
named in the will, Attorney ]. Robert
Beecher and Attorney Cullinan of
Bridgeport each representing contes-
tants. f.-
Counsel for the contestants began
to state their objections to the proba-
ton of the will alleging incompetency
of the testator and undue influence
etc, but the judge put an end to the
legal skirminshing by stating that as
an appeal would undoubtedly be tax
en- from any decision he would make
he proposed to act only pro forma, on
the question.
Therefore he ascertained from the
Trainer of the will and the witnesses
that the document was, on its face,
a legal will, and admitted it, to pro-
bate. The various attorneys then gave
ntoice of the intentions of their eli
ents to appeal to the County Courts,
to which the judge assented.
Thus the first step in what every
one believes wiz be a bitter fight was
taken. Although no appraisal has
yet been made of the value of Lynch's
property it is various1y estimated to
range from $4,000 to $40, 600. The tes-
tators has only one brother, Patrick
Lynch of Zoar who survives him, al
though he had two other brothers as
well as two sisters, all of whom left
children, and some of these nephews
and snieces are opposing the disposition
of the property made by the decd
ent.
The will in question gives $4,000 to
Mrs. Margaret Lester, the nurse who
ministered to his wants in his last
illness, and the rest of his estate goes
to his brother Patrick. absolutely. The
reason for this discrimination as sIat-
ed by the testator to the witnesses is
that Patrick Lynch was the only one
of his kin who knew how to use his
money wisely.

afflicted man, who was suffering from

some on and noticed the ankle felt
better. told him to use it every
day, and in three days his ankle was

HOUSEHOLD HINTS OF VAL
Small Things in Themselves, but ! iey
VIII Be Found Well Worthy
Of Consideration.

To make house ferns grow rapidly,
place four or five pieces Of charcoal
on top Of the soil Keep the flower pot
in "a jardiniere. with plenty Of water,
and its rapid movement will be aston
ishing.
Try rubbing your stove well with
vinegar before applying the backing
and you will be surprised at how much
brighter your polish will be and how
much longer IL will last than If the
backing were applied to the unclaimed
Iron.
To clean the white kid shoes now so
much in vogue make a paste Of corn
starch and gasoline, keeping the mix
ture away from the fire, preferably
out of doors. Rub the shoes thorough
ly and leave in the sun to dry, when
all superfluous powder may be rubbed
of with dry cloth. This prepare
ton Is also excellent for cleaning white
felt.
The raveled threads from old linen
will be found best for darnlng table
cloths or napkins.
Save all tea leaves for about a week
and place them In pail, over which
may be poured boiling water. Allow
them to stand for one hour then strain
and bottle the liquid. This, when APP
piled with flannel to mirrors, win
dows and picture glasses, makes them
