THE FAM ijiie; mil LER WILL CASE Matter That's at Present Occupy, ing Attention of Court and May Be Decided Today. IRE II RELICS F ROM ROCK BLUFFS County Surveyor Fred Patterson Secures Several More to Add to His Collection. From Wednesday's Dally. The lime of Hie district court was taken up yesterday with the hearing of the famous Mary Mil ler will case, which was appealed from the county court by Mrs Jane Worth, a sister of Mrs. Mil ler, who was a beneficiary under one of the numerous wills that Mrs. Miller executed at different times and which she was sup posed to have revoked by an in Htrument which several witnesses testified she had signed in their presence, hut which was after wards lost and has not been found tip to this time. Mrs. Miller had been under I he charge of a guardian for some years In-fore her death, and at one time executed a deed giving to her sister, Mrs. Worth, title to all her property, including an 80-acro farm and two lots in the villagu of MurraV. but the deed was set "asitie by iue stale supremo court on the ground of the mental in-1 competency of Mrs, Miller flM,j the influence thai her sister held over her. The suit for the sel ling aside of the deed to Mis. Worth was commenced first, by John Murray, jr., but lalcr l. -I. Pitman, as guardian of Mrs. Mil ler, was substituted for him, and the case raken to I he district court, where I he deed was set aside, and I be mat ter carried to the supreme court, where it was afllrmed. After the selling aside of the deed the mailer rested until Un dent h of Airs. Miller, and last fall the will executed by Mrs. Miller some years ago was presented for probate, and Ihe estate attempted to establish the fact that the re vocation bad been made, and the acting judge decided to admit the fact that the instrument revoking! the will bad been made, upon which Mrs. Worth carried the matter to the district court, where it was given a hearing before Judge ( loch ran and a jury. There were a largo number of witnesses examined by both sides, including Attorney Myron Clark of Omaha, who hail attended to the legal business for Mrs. Miller; Dr. J. F. Brendel and C. II. Hoedeker, who were witnesses of the signing of the missing instrument. The jury was excused by Judge Cochran until !) o'clock this morn ing, when the taking of testimony was resumed and several wit nesses were placed on the stand, and the prospects are that the case will occupy all of the after noon session, as there are several more witnesses to appear. County Surveyor Fred Patter son, wink- ai nis larni at nor Bluffs a few days ago. unearthed a very interesting iihiiuii rem-, which he has on exhibition at his office in Ihe court house. It is apparently a part of an ancient Indian mill used to grind grain and bad been buried for years in the great hills that, surround the icinity of Hock liluffs. Mr. Patterson discovered the lone while walking along the road toward his mail box, and dug it out of the ground in which it was buried. Not far from where Ihe stone was found there has been a large number of flint arrow-heads dug up and that locality must at one time have been the headquarters of the In dians who roamed the Nebraska prairies in large numbers, and that, theory is strengthened by the fact that Ihe great bills there would give I hem a lookout over the Missouri valley for miles and miles. In the same locality there is a largo place, apparently hoi lowed out as a meeting place of the tribe, and near this spot it is impossible to raise crops, show ing that in the years gone by the land was killed by being used as a gathering place of a largo num ber of the natives of the plains. Mr. Patterson is very desirous of searching further in the mai ler, as he believes that many relics that would contribute much to his history of early days in Nebraska could be unearthed, which is undoubtedly true, as Ihe bluffs of Ihe Missouri was the favorite spot for the gathering of the Omaha and Otoo tribes of In dians, and many of their chief tans are buried where they could keep a watch ovep (he valley of Ihe Nig Muddy. Mont Robb Here. From Wednesday's Dally. Mont llobb. former steward of the Nebraska penitentiary, was in the eily a short lime Ibis morn ing, coniint; up from his former n i', near I'uion, where be bad been on business.

MUD CASE 10 BE SUBMITTED III BRIEF HE SPIRIT TO IMPROVE STILL MANIFESTS ITSELF From Wednesday's Dally. I.asl evening alter supper Judge Cochran heard the long- lived case of Akin L. McDonald vs. Agnes L. McDonald. The case is a very interesting one and has been on the docket of the court in different forms since 1008, and Ihe end is not yet, as the judge, after listening to testimony in the case for several hours, requested the attorneys to submit their arguments in brief form. Mrs. McDonald secured a di vorce from her first husband in 181)4, in Oklahoma, under the ter ritorial law, which was iater de clared invalid, by the supreme court of the United States, and prior to the law being declared in valid she had married Mr. Mc Donald in this county. After the decision of the supreme court a suit for separate maintenance was started by Mrs. McDonald against her husband, and he set up as a defense that they were not legally married, as her divorce from her first husband was not good. A divorce was finally given in the case, and Mrs. McDonald was restrained from using Ihe name of McDonald, but Hint was later modified by Judge Jessen of the district court, who allowed her the use of Ihe name, and the present suit is to prohibit her using ..lb- ,,;,. f McDonald. William DelesDernn-r appeared for McDonald, while William C. Ramsey of Omaha was attorney for Mrs. McDonald. P Hits Hand With Hammer. From Wednesday' Daily. This morning Connie Oillespic, who is employed in the Burling ton machine shop, struck one of his fingers with a hammer while engaged at his work and was compelled lo call the services of a doctor to have Ihe member dressed and will lay off a few days unlil the injury is healed up. One of the improvements to the residence property of the city that is making quite a noticeable im provement, in the west part of the city is the addition lo the house of E. B. l'erry, on west Oranile street. The home of Mr. Perry was formerly a one-story struc ture, but Ihe house was not large enough t" accommodate the fam-! ily and the three boys, Jesse, Henry and llallie, decided to have it enlarged and Ihe new ad dition will give the residence four large rooms on the second floor. This spirit of improvement is get- ling into the system of a largo t.'iiinber of our citizens and the coining season promises to be one of the best in the building line hero for several years and dem onstrates thai people here are be ginning to . recognize the ad vantages of Plaltsmouth as a home town.
