Does Not Chance Will.

Sioux Falls.-That a will cannot be
changed by an oral statement made
just before death was the decision of
Judge McNenny OF the state circuit
court, in a contest involving the will
OF Ed Danielson, a Lawrence county
man, who died some weeks ago. The
county court, which had first jurisdic-
ton OF the contest. ruled that the oral
change made by Danielson in his will
just before his death in a DeadWood
hospital could not be admitted to
change the provisions of the original
will executed in writing by Danielson.
On appeal Judge McNenny affirmed
the ruling of the lower court. The oral
statement was intended to make a
change in connection with the guard
ianship of Danielson's children and
was not intended to affect the dispo.
sition Of his property.
