Death of P. J. McCabe
Merely Changed Proceed
ure In Supreme Court
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. , (Special)—
Owing to the death of **. J. McCabe
of Newcastle, who was here to listen
to argument in the case, tho attorn
eys interested In the construction of
the will of Thomas McCluskey, form
er resident of Dixon county, sub
mitted the matter on briefs. The
heirs at law of McCluskey are seek
ing to secure from Patrick McGuirk,
executor of his will, $30,000 worth of
land that McGuirk claims as hia
own by reason of a transfer through
a third party over 20 years ago.
McCluskey’s wife had died before
him, and his only child, a son, had
been missing for 17 years. In his will
McCluskey provided that his land
should be sold for $4,000, its then
value, and half of the amount ex
pended over a period of 20 years in
masses for the repose of the souls of
himself and wife. The other half
was to be kept for 20 years for the
eon, if he did not show up by then
the masses were to continue for an
other two score years.
The heirs say McGuirk never as
serted title during the 20 years, say
ing he was keeping the land for the
son. Now come the heirs and attack
the transaction by which he secured
the land, and they go further back
and attack the will ns failing because
it did not distinguish between the
Greek and Roman Catholic church.
Another issue they say the court
must decide Is whether or not ex
trinsic evidence must not be pre
sented of the efficacy of the cergn*
mony of the mass.

proper schooling period, and that it
would damage the public health. The
