Will Contest
Will of Miss Carrie Countryman Is
Set Aside in Lancaster Coun
ty Court Friday
Probate of the will of Carrie Con
tryman, former Cass county lady,
who gave most of her wealth tot.be
American Bible society and other re
ligious organizations, was denied by
County Judge Reid. at Lincoln, Fri- :
day afternoon. Brothers and sisters
f Miss Contryman, who had an es
tate of around $1 5.000, claimed she
was not competent to make a will. ,
Juiig- Kt id declared in denying the i
jrobate that the woman was not, in
l is opinion, mentally competent to
make a will.
It was claimed by the contestants
that Miss Contryman had for a num
ber of years been mentally affected
and Dr. Miles Breuer testified that
she was not competent. Dr. W. D.
CJuttery. who said he had written
a book on insanity, testified that
Miss Contryman was not a paranoiac
as was claimed by the contestants.
Later, in answering a hypothetical
question, he said that if the condi
tion afflicting a person were, such
as the attorney outlined in the ques
tion, the person would be a paran
oiac. .
In the final argument the attor
ney for the contestants read symp
toms from the doctor's book to prove
that Miss Contryman was a paran
oiac. He claimed that the book, writ
ten before 1023, could not have de
scribed Miss Contryman's condition
better than the doctor had done in
his book. It was claimed that her
delusions over religion caused her to
refuse to consider the claim of her
brothers and sisters in. making a
will. The Lincoln Trust company
was appointed administrator.

WRITES FROM HOSPITAL
' ' ' Immanuel Hospital
'Omaha, Neb.; Jan. .11.
My Dear Journal:
Since I cannot manage to speak to
you, I have to write. -Since the waves
of' the air will not carry off words,
I am to unload them on paper.
Like the burro of the. mountain
states, paper is patient and accepts
the lead of sense or nonsense, which
I force upon it with patience.; I have
been here in this quiet place over a
month. Even the New Year was
quiet.. The rustling of -the elevator
the distant cry of a baby or the de
finite orders of some physician and
the quieting response of a. nurse are
the only sounds I hear. Besides the
wind howls outside and the water
splashes from, time to time in the
fountain in the, hall.
Over four weeks I have been here.
Filially "the plaBter cast has "been
taken off my foot. The fractured
bones have pressed together and have
mended by compulsion. But no re
gard was taken of muscles, of tissues,
of flesh, or skin.' Now the muscles
are stiff and joints move slowly and
muscles and tissues have to take new
life. In time of lesion . they have
taken' on colors of; green and black
and blue. Thousand of little parts
have to return to what nature meant
them to be.
That takes time.
"You cannot preach next Sunday,
pastor,, the verdict of the Dr. said.
"Oh no, maybe a week later." ,
But release is. in sight.'
I , can . sleep better "after the cast
has been removed.. After four weeks
of nervousness, I am sleepy and
drousy and lazy. '
I I am satisfied . with the verdict.
If I should go now I would be a bur
jden to some one. A week from now I
shall be better able to move. I am
thankful for these weeks of forced
vacation. They showered waves of
sympathy, of kindness over me. If is
a singular pleasure to know of so
many kind people who think of your
suffering. It shall be more. than that
to see their kind sparkling eyes again,
to nod to them, and being nodded to,
and waved and smiled, and even
shake hands with them. The human
heart is over hungary for these
things. Auf Wlederschen.

Creamery Has
Large Output
of Butter
Churning on Last Regular Butter-
making Day Brings 1,000
. Pounds of Butter.
From Friday's Dally
The Cass County Co-Operative
Creamery & Produce Co., at their
new plant In this city are. gradually
increasing the output of the delicious
CasCo brand of butter, as the de
mand for this splendid creamery pro
duct increases and finds a ready
market among those who appreciate
the very best of butter.
The churning at the plant resulted
In 1,000 pounds being turned out
under the skillful hands of Phillip
Hoffman, buttermaker and manager
of the creamery and which was of
the finest quality.
The machinery of the plant will,
Mr. Hoffman states, be able to handle
1,200 or 1,300 pounds of butter at
each churning, but this somewhat
taxes the capacity of the machinery
and the output Is held at the 1,000
mark at each operation of the plant.
The plant is kept spic and span
and after each operation o f the
churning the vats and churn and all
parts' Of the equipment used in the
buttermaklng is subjected to the
most rigid cleaning and kept in the
most sanitary condition and to fully
realize Just how much effort is made
to keep this plant in the pink of
condition at all times, one must see
the actual care that is given by the
management to the upkeep of the
plant and the buttermaklng equip
ment. ,
