PiSliSKA WILL CASE UP
BEFORE COUNTY COURT
From Saturday's Dally.
This morning the time of the county
court was taken up in hearing the
petition for the allowance and pro
bate of the last will and testament of
Mrs. Magdalena Panska, deceased, re
siding near Louisville. The probate
of the will was contested by Anna
Schutz, a niece of the deceased lady,
on the ground that undue influence
had been used to procure the will.
There were several witnesses exam
ined in the case, including the wit
nesses to the will, Fred Ruhge and
August Standcr, two of the promin
ent residents of that part of the coun
ty. The will in question gave the
estate and property, aside from the
expenses of the care and funeral ol
the deceased lady, to her stepson.
August Panska, with whom she had
made her home for the last few years,
and after the death of her husband.
Tied Panska. was cared for at the
August Panska home until her death.
After hearing the evidence in the case
Judge Beeson decided that the evi
dnce introduced was not sufficient to
bear out the charges of the contestant
and therefore admitted the will to
probate. The case will probably be
carried up to a higher court for trial.

keeps right at it. by word and by letter

BRYAN SPARES NEVILLE,
BUT ATTACKS HITCHCOCK
North Platte, Nob., April 3. Before
a fair sized crowd, fully half of which
was made up of women and children
W. J. Bryan Saturday night put in
two hours defending his policy rcla
tive to national affairs and concerning
the liquor issue.
The first hour was spent in claim
ing credit for many of the policies ad
vocated by President Wilscn and in
attacking the policy of making prep
aration for any hostilics that may de
velop toward the United States.
Bryan attacked Senator Hitchcock
but in Neville's home town, refrained
from turning his oratory against the
North Platte candidate for the demo
cratic gubernatorial nomirntion.
The second hour Bryan spent in
pointing out the difference between
the liquor situation of twenty-six
years ago and that of today, covertly
explaining why he has now deserted
the interests with which he worked in
former years, but refrained from men
tioning his activities in connection
with the liquor interests during recent
years.
During the fore part of his address
Lsryan failed to draw any response
from his audience, but a scattering
applause answered his attacks on the
liquor interests.
