HORNY HANDED MINER HAVING
 HARD TIME
(From Sundays Dailv)

While the probating of the estate of Benjamin E. Geary was in its final stages at Chillocothe, Ohio, a short time ago, and as the distribution ot quite large interests was being read, a daughter, Ellen, and Bates Geary, son of the deceased, created a sensa- ton in the court when the latter pro- tested against the unequal disposition of property, openly accusing his sis ter of fraud. He addressed the court as follows:
 Your Honor, the codecil to the original will drawn in November of 1913, was attached to the same, and dated May, 1918, in which my sister and myself were to receive share and share alike, less $2,45O set aside for the education of a nephew of father. The change of disposition of my father toward me, was due, as I can prove, to assist me financially in min ing business near Prescott, Arizona. as he expressed himself as pleased that at last, I had settled down to legitimate business and quit the wild oats' game. The codecil has been detached from the will paper, and there is something crooked going on."
 The sister instantly arose, to her feet and pulling hat pin started to jab her brother, but did not inflict q single wound. The hearing went over, when the son stated he would bring witnesses to substantiatc his claim.
 The son was in this section of Ari- zona for nearly two years engaged in working in mines, when he stated he had a ricn dad" but the old man had fired him from home. He also stated that he was getting to be pretty good" with drill steel and his calloused hands would impress the old man and win him back once again into parental favor. Geary was an expert in playing Kelly pool at home, and he also stated his sporty life got him into all kinds of trouble. He returned home over one year ago when he claims his father changed his mind and drew the new will giv- ing him as much as his sister. II equally divided Geary will get about $22,500 and he proposes to come back to Yavapai to go at mining in good shape" as he expresses himself in a letter.

BUSINESS EXPLORING IN
 OLD MINE
(From Saturdays Daily)

While eXaming an old mine in the Date Creek range, situated about thirteen miles west of Congress, an operator of Victor, Colorado, by the name of Bethman, was struck on the left hand by rattlesnake, and hasten ing to Congress Junction, boarded the train for Phoenix for treatment, finally recovering.
 This news was given yesterday by James Mcclure, an arrival from Wickenburg. It was stated that Bethman went into a shaft abouF twenty feet deep to cut samples. In using the pick with his right hand he balanced himself with the left, placing his free hand into an open ing when he was struck in the oute- part of the palm. There was no rattling. but he was able to discern that it was snake of yellow color. Reaching the top a Mexican with him bandgaged his wrisst and slashed the wounded hand with a pocket knife, as well as making a poultice of chew. ing tobacco. Bethman did not com plain Of any i'll effects, except from the knife decorations. The day after his arrival in Phoenix the hand swell ed twice its normal sisze, but a few days later Bethman was pronounced out of danger No arteries were reached by the fangs of the snake, which accounts for the escape of this mining man.
 Bethman was warned by the Mex ican to be on the look out for snakes at this time of the year as they usu- ally staid in winter quarters until the first storm after the vernal equinox. The rattler has been found in old shafts to a depth of over 200 feet, and in making examinations of such mines care is usually exercised by experienced people ill going below especially in winter months. This affair took place about two weeks ago and Bethman it is believed he left the country. He never returned, nor did he leave any message as to his intentions to take over the mine.
