Letter From C. H. Kirkpatrick
Reney. Wis., Oct. 19. 1920.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Shafer.
Dear friends:
Maybe a few lines from old Wis
consin would not be out of place. I
am visiting now in southwestern
Wisconsin. Grant. Iowa and Lafay
ette counties I think is the best1
dairy country in the United States, j
It is also noted for its lead mines. ,
A good many of the mines are not ,
running now on account of low price 1
of ore. Corn and oats and hay are ,
good. Pastures are fine, mostly i
blue grass. 1 I think I will go east .
to Rock county next week. There
has been lots of work done on the
roads here. Autoes have the right
of way, they surely have helped the
roads. There is not much said about
election but what little I hear, sorry
to say, is for Harding. I think I
will be in Nebraska in time to vote
more than likely for Cox and More- i
head. I am well and hope this will
find you all the same. Regards to
all old friends. Yours truly,
C. H. Kirkpatrick.
BENNER HEIR WANTS
MONEY RIGHT AWAY
Contests Mother's Will Providing He
Shall Not Have Fortune Un
til Thirty Years Old.
Mrs. Happy Theodora Van Wyck
Benner. daughter of former United
States Senator Van Wyck of Nebras
ka, who died a year ago. leaving an
estate estimated at a half million
dollars to her sixteen-year-old son.
Van Wyck Benner, desired that the;
son should not have his fortune un
til he reached a mature age. accord
ing to a deposition taken recently
from Col. William Hayward. New
York lawyer, and an old friend of
Mrs. Benner.
Both Mr. Hayward and Mrs. Ben
ner were former Nebraska City resi
dents and are known to numerous
Plattsmouth people. Mr. Hayward
commanded a New York regiment of
colored troops in France.
"Mrs. Benner believed that it would
be best for her little boy not to have
the title to the property until he
had reached a mature age," the col
onel testified.
Mrs. Benner's son is contesting the
will, claiming that under its pro
viso that he shall not come into
full title of his mother's property un
til he is thirty years old. will pre
vent his marrying. He points out
that if children should be born he
would be unable to care for them
properly.
The case will be heard in county
court in Omaha on October 28th. at J
which time several depositions will J
be read as well as certain letters
bearing on the social experience of
Mrs. Benner, attorneys say.

Charles Tilton Charged with Being
Drunk Police Judge Archer
Fixes the Penalty.
From Friday's Dally.
This morning the court of Judge
M. Archer presented a scene of un
usual activity when the mills of jus
tice were put to grinding on the
complaint filed by the police against
Charles Tilton. Mr. Tilton was
charged with being intoxicated and
on hearing the various statements
of the case, the court assessed a fine
upon the offender which with the
costs totaled the sum of $50.
The events leading to the filing of
the complaint occurred early this
morning near the hour of 1:30 when
the peculiar driving of Mr. Tilton
along Sixth street attracted the at
tention of Officer Alvin Jones who,
approached the car In which Mr. Til
ton was driving and started to place
him under arrest. It was stated by
Mr. Jones that Mr. Tilton was armed
at the time but did no shooting or
disturbance beyond the wild manner
In which he was driving his car
around.
He was placed in custody over
night by Mr. Jones and given the
hearing in police court today with
the result as above stated, and upon
settlfng the amount was released
from further custody.
Although questioned by the judge.
Mr. Tilton refused to divulge the
source of the supply of his liquor.
