Shortly after the death of his IA
ther, Stilson Hutchins, the son, Lee,
filed caveat protesting against the
admission to probate of the latest
dated of three wills left by Stilson
Hutchins. This protest against the
will was filed in May, 1912, and
started the longest will contest ever
known in the local courts. Lee
Hutchins questioned the mental ca
pacity of his father at the time of
the making of the will"
The case was tried in the District
Supreme Court and occupied the at
tention of the court and a jury for
five months, establishing a record in
this district for a civil jury trial. Lee
Hutchins was successful in breaking
the will, but the executors appealed
to the District Court of Appeals and
the case was reversed and a new trial
ordered. The litigation spread until
May 20 last, when the widow, the two
sons and the granddaughte entered
into compromise agreement by
which an equal division of the es-
tate. valued at 100000, was ef-
fected.

ELK STARvE
IN WYOMING

The board of directors OF the
Baraboo chapter of the Izaak Wal
ton League held a meeting Friday
night for the purpose of taking
action whereby a small sum is to
be collected to aid in the project
of supplying feeding place for
elk in the vicinity of Jackson
Hole, Wyoming.
The early snow in the noun,
tains has driven the fast vanish
ing herd of elk into the valley
in search of food a month ahead
of the usual time but upon reach
ing the valleys they find nothing
but tle bare ground, the rancher's
cattle and sheep having grazed
there all summer have cleaned the
natural feeding grounds of the elk
of all grasses.
In the last ten years the elk
herd has been reduced from $4,000
to less than 5000.
The majority of stock raisers in
Jackson Hole realize that it is the
poorest kind Of stock country, the
winters are too long and severe
Most of them are discouraged and
ready to sell out their claims and
quit. Although thousands of dol
lars are being spent each winter
to feed the starving elk, the cause
of starvation will not be stopped
until their natural feeding grounds
are left unmolested.
The Izaak Walton League Of Am
erica is launching campaign to
raise 100000 20 buy these lands
and beside giving the American
elk a permanent place to roam in,
it is no less than plan to secure
and keep the Jackson Hole region
as a wilderness playground for
future generations for all time to
come. This tract of land when
purchased will be given to the
American people as a tribute and
monument in behalf of the Izaak
Walton League.
Anyone wishing to contribute
sum, however small, may do so
through the local League, which
will greatly appreciate the contri-
button.

The car was driven by a young

he had a flat tire and stopped to
fix it. In doing so it is thought
that the gasoline dripped from

car shot into flames, leaving only
a skeleton which was hauled away
the next day.
