Clerk Morrill and the rest of the office
force figuratively girded up their loins .and
went at the above with the result that
after an hour or so of close application
they figured It out this way, but refused
to vouch for the absolute correctness of the
translation:
I am Jit years old. My name Is S:ira
Busman. Mv father'a name Is Joseph 8us
man and mv mother's name Is Fannie
Zeldlls. Married In Austria. The name of

My mother's nam Is Yetl Safar. My fatlv

The daughter has died In Wllne. Born In
HolMnlJe, which Is In Russia.
While this translation may not be quite
literal, It was close enough and the young
man got his license and departed, smiling
broadly and bowing profusely, evidently
fast In the belief that his English compost-
tlon had made a decided Impression as It
did, most decidedly.
MAN BEATS MESSAGE HERE
Captain V. R. Roseola, with Three
Children, Is Wanted by Parties
In Michigan.
A message was received from Joseph
Miles, sheriff at Ironwood, Mich., by the
chief of police at Council Bluffs, aaklng
that Captain N. B. Roseola of Ironwood
be held at the Bluffs, together with a boy
and two girls, aged respectively 14, 14 and
20 years. The message stated further that
Roseola Is on his way with the children
to some point In California.
Owing to the fact that the party had
passed through Council Bluffs, the mes
sage wna telephoned to the I'nlon depot In
this city by the chief of police In the
Bluffs. It waa too late, however, to en
able the officers at the station to head off
Roseola, aa he had left on a I'nlon Pacific
train for the west about ten mlnutea be
fore the message waa received. The mes
sage stated that Mrs. William Kline of
Ironwood. Mich., wished the parties held
but gave.no particulars aa to why Roseola
and the children are wanted In the Mlehl
gan city. An attempt will be made to se
cure their detention at some point farther
west on the line.

Miss Naomi F. Schenck haa resigned

yeara conaecutlvely and la considered th
person at the city hall who knows most
about a very chaotic collection of ordl
nances, records and documents of all kinds.
She gives aa a reason for wishing to leave
the service that she believes aha la under
paid. At the first of the present year her
salary waa Increased from $S5 to $96 a

too little compenaatlon for th work per

probate office which presages a contest over
the last will and testament of the late 8o-
hronla Jones, widow of A. V. Jones.
Omaha's first postmaster, who leu an es
tate valued at something over $.VVi.
Under the terms of the will the property
I divided among nine heirs, not including
Charles T. Jones and Rollin O. Jones, who
were grandchildren of the deceased and by
whom the appeal bond referred to has been
tiled. Their claim, made through their at
torney, Judge S. I. Gordon, Is that Mr. and
Mrs. Jones, their grandparents, made a
Joint will whereby in the event of the death
of either of the testator the survivor
should by will, at his or her death, divide
tho Joint OHtatea aiming all the heirs, but
that Sophronla Jones, disregarding this con
dition of the agreement of tho Joint will,
omitted from her individual will, the codicil
which would have brought a?l the heirs Into
a division of the property. They claim fur
ther that if Bophroula Jones had not been
prepared to do tills she could not legally
Inherit under her husbund's will and unless
Charles T. and Rollln O. Jonea are parties
to her will the will of her husband is In
validated and hla estate must be readmln
lelered and his prowrty accounted for.
They further claim that at the time she
made her will Sophronia Jones was of un
sound mind.

Hilary mentioned that the original dia
monds have t en removed by him from
the Jewelry given her and Ftones of much
less value substituted therefor. Mr. Van
Camp has filed a stipulation In the probate
office to the effect that If It shall be shown
on hearing that ho committed the act
charged lie will make good the original
stones or their equivalent In value. The
value of this estate Is In the vicinity of
$10,000 and Mr. Van Camp and Mrs. llalsey
are the only beneficiaries.
The will of Roxena Kendall has been
