WILL WAS DRAWN
BY TOWN 'SQUIRE
THIS 'SQUIRE DID NOT AFFECT
SEMI-COLONS.
His Disaffection Gave tho Com
mon Fleas Court a Hard Nut to
Crack and Soma Fivo or Six Law
yers an Opportunity of "Caring"
for a ?15,000 Estate An Instru
ment That Could Bo Made to Read
Two Ways Interesting Questions
That Cropped Up in Court.
A slight experience In what a copy
editor has to contend with was the
lot of Judge Archbald yesterday In
presiding over the ejectment case of
Minnie Weber, now Mlnnlo York,
against John Weber, jr., Minnie Klcf
cr, John II. Jones, John II. Hughes,
Mollle Weber, Joseph Weber, Cella
Weber and Lizzie Howell.
The parties are heirs of tho late John
Weber, of Taylor, the plaintiff being a
granddaughter, the othcts being sons
or daughters or their heirs. The ex
ecutors placed the present defendants
In possession of the testators' real es
tate. The granddaughter's reading of
the will made her believe she and not
they were the residuary legatees, and
she brought suit to secure possession
of the property, which Is valued at
jin.ooo.
This Is the disputed clnuse In the
wll on which the case hinged:
I give all real e.tnlo to
my dear wife, Trade Webber, for life,
and ufter her death, to my granddaugh
ter, Minnie Webber, of Hyde Park, sala
county and state, I glvo and bequeath
tho sum of two hunched dollars to bo
paid to her on attaining the nge of 21
years, If living at that time. But if not
living then my will is that tho said sum
of two hundred dollars shall sink Into
and become and bo 1 art of the residue
of my personal oslate.
JUDGE'S CONSTRUCTION.
Judge Archbald construed the will
to read that Mrs, York, the plaintiff,
wns entitled to $200 nntl no more and
directed the Jury to find for the de
fendants. John F. Pcraggs and Hon. W. H. Jesi
sup represented the plaintiff. Cor
nellus C'pecys, Hon. H. A. Knapp and
Joseph O'Brien appeared for the de
fendants. The will was drawn up by
a local 'squire.
Whether or not a dance hall bar It
realty proved to be the controlling fea
ture In a mechanic's Hen case heard
before Judge Archbald.
M. D. Brown & Co., lumber dealers
of Olyphant. were the plaintiffs and
Theopheus Komecznv, a WInton sa
loon keeper, the defendant. The plain
tiffs claimed for $G10.29 worth of lum
ber dollvered for the construction ot
a hall In tho rear of Knmeczny's sa
loon, which Is located on a property
owned by his wife. The defendant tries
to defeat tho operation of tho Hen hy
alleging that the credit war given In
dividually to Komcczny and not to tha
property, and that tho wife opposed
tho construction of the hall, but tho
main contention was that the lien was
defective In not having been Hied with
in six months fmm the time of tho
completion of the building.
Contractor Koons, who erected tho
hall testified tint the building was fin
ished May 2S, 180S. The lion was filed
December 24, 1K9S, which Is within a
few days of snven months after tho
building Is alleged to have been com
pleted. The plaintiffs, however, contend that
the building was not completed until
after June 27. for they dollvered lum
ber there on that date, and some of It
they were nble to prove went Into ths
construction of a bar for the danco
hall.
AN INDEPENDENT BAR.
The bar was built Independently of
the hall, but Its 'bese was screwed to
the floor. Here came the question as
to whether It was real or personal
property; whether It was a part of an
unfinished building or a piece of fur-
already complete.
Judge Archbald, In giving the caro
to the Jury, remarked that a dance hall
nnd bar were not as a rule far re
moved, and Intimated rather than

Attorney E. II. Shurtleff's suit to re
cover a 12,000 fee from Thomas Davis,
for professional services, was called
before Judge Purdy, Just prior to ad
journment. Mr. Shurtleff represented Mr. Davis
In tho famous Russell Coal compiny
stilts and established his claim 'o a
175,000 coal tract. The defense is that
It was a contingent fee and that as
tho verdict has not as yet been real
ized upon, the fee Is not due. .
The litigation In which Mr. Shurt
leff earned the fee extended over a
period of nenrly six years, ,or fro'n
June 24, 1S92, to May 7, 1893. It first
came up In tho form of nn equity case
entitled Joseph' Davenport against
Thomas Davis and others, and was re
ferred to arbitrators. An nppcal was
taken from the arbitrators' award anil
the case developed Into an ejectment
suit, with Thomas Davis, H. C. Com
egys, S. M. Mayer, W. R. Wllllnnu',
as plaintiffs, and A. 13. Russell, Jciomu
Hiittlan nnd Joseph Davenport as de
fendants. It was tried here twice und

plaintiffs finally securing satisfactory

the defense Is looked after by Welles

be five cents a ton on all coal mined
and shipped ftom the tract.
Two years ago the coal was leased
to the Dolph Coal company, limited,
and mining operations begun. During
the two years, the plaintiff allegeis, the
company has mined 234,000 tons of Mai
and he wants his commission of five
cents a ton, or $11,700.

WRECK AT STORRS' CROSSING.

Trolley Car.
At the Storrs' crossing at Prlcoburg,
at noon yesterday, a train of coal cars
which was being pushed up the grade
to the Storrs breaker bv a Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western engine,
crashed Into a trolley car bound from
Peckvllle to this cltv.
Tho trolley car was turned complete
ly around nnd badly wrecked, and
Harry Whltall, a Prlceburg hotel
keeper, who was riding on the front
Platform, was thrown under the car
and sustained a broken collar-bone
and many painful bruises.
It Is feared he has several broken
ribs, but he Is so stout that Dr. W. P.
Kennedy, who Is attending him, was
unable to give a positive opinion on
that subject yesterday. Whltall weighs
over 230 pounds. Dr. Kennedy believes
he will recover.
There were onlv three other passen
gers on tho car, Lewis Hancock, of this
city; Martin Wlttlg, of Peckvllle, and

Injury. Michael Carden was motor
