DEPOSITION PRODUCED Showing; bj Wliom anti in What Manner the Will HU Decittion. was ar- Ae The Robert Mehard will case gued in coait Saturday forenoon will be readere of he ews Thoma? J. Pyle, a grandson of the Ute Robert Mehard filed a petition in ooart laet September, asking court to revoke the probate of the will of Robert Mehard, deceased, ou the grounds that George H. Mehard the principal had caaeed the will to be altered the death of the testator by adding after the residuary clause which directed the division of the bulk of the estate, the worda the five living thereby cottiijg out the childreji of Christiana Pyle, deceased, a daughter of the teetator. The petition asked that the letters testamentary iseued to H.

Mehard be revoked. The appeal was allowed and citation issued on all parties interested to answer. No Bwers were filed by any of the interested parties except 8. Morris, guardian for the minor children of Thomas Mehard, deceased. George H.

Mehard the most iotereeted party made no reply at ail to thff citation. The argument was set for to day and James A. Gardner and B. A. Winternitz appeared on the behalf of the contestants.

D. B. Morris appeared in his own behalf as guardian of the children of Thomas Mehard and was aesisteil by D. B. Kurtz.

The contestants produced depositions from Mrs. Ida Bovard, a granddaughter of Robert Mehard. She teetitied that she written the will of Mehard That the first copy did not suit him, and that she interlined it and afterwards made a copy which she gave to him. She did not see him sign it and did not see the the will again until after her death, when George H. Mehard brought the will to her, and she inserted the words, after the residuary clause, given above.

After ehe had inserted the clause, George H. Mehard took the will away and she did not see it again The deposition of Robert H. Mehard was also ofiered in testimony. He stated that in August, 1891, George H. Mehard said in his house in Wampum, that he made Ida insert the clause after his death.

The case was then argued torneys, and a number of law It was conceded tradicted evidence showed that the will had been since the death of the teetator, and before it was admitted to probate, the only question being what order court should make. Judge Hazen took the in the and reeeryed his decision until he could give it more consideration. The case is a very interesting one, and a large amount of property is involved. The a leged change in the will was made over five years ago, but the children of Mrs. Pyle, who are the heirs mist neveridiscjvered it until last September.

F. A. Biackstone presented a petition for the settlement of the case of Com vs Frank E. Lutz, on a charge of fornication and bastardy, Vinnie Kaufman, trix, as he had made a settlement satisfactory to the prose(rutrix. As the district attorney made no objections, Uie case was settled and a prots.

We have made a special effort to get the best line of goods for the holiday trade this year as we possibly coflfS, and we are prepared to sell them as low as the lowest. Our prices have alway- been low as any in the city, and this year is no exception.

People Hho are troubling themselves about what would make a suitable Christmas present, should visit our store, and we will show them the largest stock of and gold watches ever brought to the city, which we will sell at prices so low that people will ask, can they do Our answer is, we have a large stock and we must unload; business has been quiet and we wish to slim ulate it. We could give many more reasons, but these will suffice. If reasons were as plenty as blackberries (in summer) the public do not want them. All the people want are plain facts. Those who have traded with us in the past will willingly testify that we have not exaggerated, that we do not misstate a single fact.

We have never had as large a stock of watches, clocks, jewelry, bric-a-brac, gold and silverware and choice novelties as at present, and it will pay any lover of fine art goods to call and see the selection The stock includes a fine line oi chinaware in beautiful designs.
