started he got on again. At this sta

Heirs Making l'ilit.
dispute between heirs has led
to the filing of the suit of George W
Walling, Mary J. Landon, L. C.
Walling, Harvey F. Walling and
Charles A. Walling against Felix
It. Walllug, Nellie Walling, his wife,
Sadie E. Fullmer and I)e Alton Full
mer, lier husband, and W. E. Hand,
administrator of the estate of Tell-
tha Walling, deceased. All are
heirs with the exception of the ad
ministrator. It is alleged that at
the time of the death of Telltha
Walling there was an indebtedness
againBt the estate of ?1,600 secured
by mortagage against the property
together with some other indebted
ness, and Felix R. Walling agreed to
assume this and pay for his Interest
therein. Said agreement was con
tingent upon all of the heirs agree
ing thereto. In conformity to this
agreement, it is claimed, that Felix
It. Walling was named as grantee
and the instrument was signed by
the plaintiffs, G. Wf. Walling, C. A.
Walling, Mary .1. Landon, L. C.
Walling and If. F. Walling and the
defendant, Sadie E. Fullmer, and
possession of this instrument was
given to Felix It. Walling, on con
dition, that it should not become
effective till all the heirs had signed
tho agreement and Walling had paid
each heir the$250.
It is alleged that the defendants,
J. C. Walling, D. L. Walling, Marlah
L. Horst and Laura A). Goembel re
fused to sign the Instrument and
Felix R. Walling has failed to pay
tho $2.0 as agreed. It Is claimed
that pursant to the order cf the dis
trict court of Cass county,' the de
fendant, W. E. Hand, the adminis
trator of the estate, offered for sale
the premises involved July 6, and
that the sale was made subject to
confirmation of the district court of
Cass county. It is claimed that be
cause of the conveyance a cloud has
been cast on their interest by rea
son of the fact that the property
had been legally conveyed to Felix
It. Walling when no such Intention
was contemplated under the con
ditions Btated. It is alleged that if
the sale Is allowed to be confirmed
by the district court of Cass coun
ty the plaintiffs will be without any
adequate remedy at law.
It Is claimed that Mrs. Fullmer
Is made a defendant in the case be
cause Rhe refuses to Join with the
plaintiffs, and W. E. Hand Is also In
cluded because he is administrator
of the estate. The plaintiffs pray
that the court may find the deed
was given without consideration
nnd should l cancelled and de
clared void. Lincoln New

Pictures Draw I.arge Crowds, i
The Nelson-Gans fight pictures at
the Majestic theater last night drew
a fine crowd and Manager Walker
was well pleased at the patronage
his little theater received. The pic
tures are repeated tonight and it is
believed another big crowd will at
tend. Tonight for the first time the
raised seats will be used, making It
assured that the crowd can all get a
good look at the pictures. These
seats enable those on the back row
to see as well as those in front, and
are a vast improvement. The the
ater is also equipped with electric
fans and Is the coolest place in the
city. For tomorrow night Manager
Walker has booked the little Downes
Sisters for a return engagement,
their acts here on Tuesday night
having proven winners and earning
warm applause from all who heard
them. They are, indeed, marvels,
and no one who attended Tuesday
night will say but what they are the
two best child wonders ever heard
here. Others attract, but the Downes
children atract and hold. Heaf
them.
Fine Crop Outlook.
M. S. Briggs, who has ween kept
busy for some time past in the coun
try with painting contracts, was in
the city this morning for a few
hours. Mr. Briggs has Jurt com
pleted his nineteenth Job; quite a
record for the spring business. He
states that crop prospects through
out the country were never better,
especially the yield of wheat. This
Is turning out on an average of six
teen bushels to the acre, although
some exceptional pieces like the
Walker farm, which i:r. Livingston
Is farming, yielded as high as twenty-four
bushels. At the present price
of wheat this makes a comfortable
Income for the farmer
Mr. Kneiiberger's Condition.
There is small change In the con
dition of J. V. Egenberger. As la
necessarily the case, any Improve
ment in his condition will be slow,
as he has been having a very serious
time. The many friends of this
worthy man trust that the progress
of his Illness will be speedily check
ed and that his advance to good
health again will soon take nlace.
Mrs. Egenberger remains at his bed
side constantly and his son Eddie
and daughters are alsov attendants
upon him. It is to be hoped that
his 'condition improves soon so that
he may be safely brought to his
home In this city.
Tho Condition of Mr. Helsel.
The condition of C. Helsel is re
ported today as showing little If any
Improvement. There are no hopes
entertained of saving the foot.whlch
has been responsible for his Illness,
and his physical condition and ad
vanced age makes an operation ex
tremely difficult and of great doubt.
The Illness Is the 'result of an In
Jury to Mr. Heisel's foot, received
fifty years ago in Columbus, O. The
old wound has broken out and after
half a century is giving him a hans
siege.
