BIELENBERC HEIRS
TO CONTEST WILL
DISSATISFIED WITH SHARES AL
Looted THEM BY DEAD
MILLIONAIRE
Allege that John BieIenberg, at the
Time Of Making VIII, Was Not of
Sound Mind, and Was Influenced
by bankers.

Col. G. II. Bielenbsrg and his bro
Their, Nicholas j. Bi~elenberg, filed o
petition contesting the will of their
late brother, John N. w. Bielenberg,
who died in Helena on June II of
last year, and whose will was admit
ted to probate on July 8, 1922. The
contest is based on three grounds.
First, that John N. w. Bielenberg,
at the time of making the purported
will was not of sound mind. Second,
that at the time of making the will
he was acting under the undue in
fluence of Samuel McKenan, presi-
dent of the Union Bank and Trust
company of Helena, and Il. o. Kauf-
man, the cashier of that bank. Third,
that the will was not signed by John
N. w. Bielenberg, and that 1t was
not subscribed in the presence of
those claiming to be the witnesses to
its signing. The contestants Of the
will ask that they each receive one
fourth interest In the estate and that
the present will be declared invalid
and Samuel McKennan be removed
as executor of the estate.
John ". w. Bielenberg left O for
tune of more than s950,000, which
he had amassed In his so years In the
cattle and mining business in Mon
taa. He was associated in business
with his ha1f-brother, Conrad Kohrs,
who died in Helena, in 1920, leaving
more than s1,00O,000 to his heirs.
1t was the largest and best known
cattle company in Montana for 40
years.
The two contestants. his brothers,
both have been in Montana since the
COS. Charles Bielenberg is the pa
triotic instructor for the Grand Army
of the state OF Montana and had been
associated with John ~Bielenberg In
the cattle business. Nicholas Bielsn-
berg was the original exploiter Of the
mine and has been inter
in the Hansen Packing COM
of Butte since It's ~origination.
Under the will these two brothers are
left the income from 100000 an
nually, but If they be successful In
contest each would receive
1926, 1000. The Kohrs family In Hell
sna received 100000 In requests
under the will and the remainder of
the estate is held In trust with the
Union Bank and Trust company OF
acting as the trustee for the
-est Of the heirs.
This is by far the most important
litigation involving any estate that
vas every started In Powell county,
III the heirs being lifelong residents
If this community and prominent In
III its affairs.

HOW PEOPLE OF BEAVEKHEAD
COUNTY TOOK LAW INTO
THEIR OWN HANDS.
Convinced of Murderer's Guilt and
Thinking Jury Might Acquit Hfn,
They Broke Into Jail and Hanged
Him.
Ky JAMES KIRKPATRICK


On a cold day in December,
1882, two men walked together
out Of Glendale, then a thriving
smelter town in Bcaverhead coun-
ty, Montana, bound for the mining
city Of Butte.
One, John A. Jessrang, or JUS
serand, q low, despicAble char
acter OF French descent, and 80
years old, was slender, about five
feet nine and weighed around 100
pounds.
The other, sturdier looking, was
O German of so years and wore gum
boots, q faded blue mackinaw coat
and an old fur cap. He was known
in camp as Dutch Jake" or Jacob
Kruger. Kruger, as was generally
known, always carried considerable
cash with him.
There lived and worked in camp
one Joe Whitaker, q blacksmith, who
boarded at the Longley and knew
Jake for an honest, g~oodhearted
man and who, the succeeding day,
determined, in company with q
friend, to follow and learn the fate
of Dutch Jake"
On q cutoff, O. lonesome place,
they found in the snow the tracks Of
two men. They followed this track
until they came to evidences of a
struggle. The snow had been
trampled down. They found the re-
mains OF a fire, whore in the ashes
were the metal rings Of q pair OF
gum boots, such as Dutch Jake"
wore, part OF q mackinaw, and some
bits OF the bones of O mans hand.
They were so familiar with Dutch
Jake's" wearing apparel that they
became convinced that murder had
been committed and that Dutch
Jake" was the victim.
A single track led for this place,
across the snow. The sleuths fol-
lowed the footprints to @ section
house, whore they learned that q
man had come there with his feet
badly frozen. The nan proved to
be Jessrang. Both feet we're frozen.
Afterwards they we're amputated.
He was placed under arrest and
taken to Melrose. Jessrang would
not talk. A crowd Of dutch Jake's"
took him to q nearby rail-
road bridge, put o rope around his
neck and he was hauled off his feet
times, but he refused to
Then @. @. Earle, an officer of the
Hecla Mining company, harrangued
TO the crowd. He advised modera-
lion, for the reputation of the COM
munity, and finally induced the mob
TO turn J%essrang back into the GUS
tDdv pf fhe offfrcre
At the next session OF the grand
Jury q true bill, charging Jessrang
With murder was returned, and ono
Juror suggested that his fellow We
take the law into their "
lands and lynch him.
The general opinion In Melrose
IND Glendale was that although
Isssrang was guilty, O clever lawyer
you'd have no difficulty in clearing
lin, as the evidence was all circum-
One day two business men OF
5lenda1e rode into Dillon. They
joined on their way by several

light, perhaps q dozen men went to

Iecent show of resistance, under
gave up his keys. Five min
