The case has been in litigation since 189!) and has attracted attention all oves the country. The original estate was valued at $1,000,000 al though it is now believed to be worth $1,000,000. INTO SERIOUS TROUBLE. Trades Love Of Woman Fox' $650 Charge. The following, taken from the Omaha News may interest Falls City people to some extent as it relates to parties who held forth in this city some two years ago: “That he might have, unchal lenged. the affections of Mrs. Catherine Patterson for himself, Gates Parker is alleged to have turned over to F. O. Woddell, for merly of Omaha, Imt now of I>es Moines, .^loO worth of jewels and a .$.100' check, though the former possessor of the woman’s charms now says the cheek was a forgery and is prosecuting his rival. “Woddell until recently lived in Omaha and Parker lived at Guide Rock. When the alleged barter of affection for money tool place all the parties were in Omaha. “County Attorney English, on Woddell's representations of forgery, sent Detective Devereese to Denver to get Parker. Dever eese has returned empty handed, with a story of how the man. in his resistance to extradition, showed that he had money in the Guide Rock bank, which his di vorced wife had so entangled that his check drawn in good faith was not honored. “Mrs. Patterson, according to Denver advices, declared that Woddell had repented of his bargain to give her up for a fin ancial consideration and brought the action through jealousy. “Parker’s hearing at Denver disclosed the rivalry of the two men for the affections of the wo man. Mrs. Patterson stated on tiie witness stand that she had posed for three years in Omaha as Woddell's wife. She said they had lived in Kountze place. “ ‘I can show a letter from Woddell saying all lie wants is to get hold of me again.’ said Mrs. Patterson testified, ‘but he won’t, not a little bit.’ “Woddell is alleged to have a wife and family living in Iowa, lie formerly was agent for the Reliance Insurance company of Omaha. ’ ’ i The 101 Ranch Show. There was a big crowd in town Saturday for the 101 Ranch show. Our merchants speak of having a big trade. But there was an un usually rough element as well, and the polices were kept busy with minor offenses but there was no serious trouble. The show was good from the stand point of a Wild West show and was well patronized at both per formances.

The second mutual exhibit of j the Richardson County Horse Show Association was held in this city Wednesday of tins week. It drew a very large crowd of interested spectators from all over the county. The show was in every way su perior to that of last year. There was greater interest manifested by the public, there was a much larger exhibit, the animals ex hibited generally were of better stock and more classes were rep resented. The show opened at 9:30 a. tu. and the ring was kept lively un til noon, always something to see. A recess was taken until 1 :30 p. m.. when Ihe program was again taken up and continued until 4:00 p. m„ followed by a parade of prize winners. The First Reg iment hand of Hiawatha, which furnished music during the day, was at the head of the procession. Air. Howard J. Cramlish of South Omaha was the judge of the day. lie is a gentleman of wide experience in this line and several years of his life has been devoted to this work. lie is a graduate of our state agricultural school and holds the record of second place in the United State International judging contest licit in Chicago and first place on our state team. lie spent the past summer in Scotland taking a post graduate course in his line of work. The general points observed in Ids decisions were good bloody life, action, general symmetry, gait, style, color, condition, tem per, general usefulness, ft was often necessary to go into finer points in making a decision, and Mr. Gramlish said often In* felt he would like to put a red rib bon on two horses. He spoke in most favorable terms of the horses and mules of all ages that were exhibited and pays a great compliment to our county. It is hoped that our Horse Slm^ is an assured thing. It has a real meaning to breeders of horse flesh and to those who admire a good animal from a disinterested standpoint. It meant a splen did day for our merchants and pleasure for everybody. Another year perhaps it can be arranged to show the animals to greater advantage and comfort to the public. No effort will'be spared next year to make it even a greater success.

Meeeting in Falls City Wednesday Shows Good Standing Falls City Leads in Attendance. ,\l a meeting of the directors of (lie Mink I league the continu ation for next year was assured. The chief object of tins meeting was to examine the financial standing of the league in order to make a report to tin* National Association and assure the Mink's position for next year. The treasurer’s report showed a balance of $407.78 after all debts had been paid and above the $.‘100 guarantee from each town at the beginning of the sea son. Of this balance, $.70.00 was voted to President Wilson to reimburse him for any traveling expense he might have incurred, and $.40 was reserved for any little bill that might he left: un paid because of not being pre sented in due form. The balance was pro-rated to the six towns of the league. A number of players were reserved by the rvcrsl i 'id s to protect them selves with the National associa tion, This simply means that the clubs reserving these men have first right to them for next year, that the men cannot play elsewhere unless released by the .Mink club reserving them. But it does not mean the Mink clubs must keep them next year. They may release them if they choose. Although many of tin* Falls City colts were reserved, Manager An nin was not. rails ( lty is particularly proud of her standing in the league. She won the pennant against great odd. She leads all the Mink towns in attendance and we also believe in enthusiasm. In her home county and among her neighbors she stood absolutely alone, but won out with fine showing. You cannot down a live town. The attendance at the six towns during the season was as follows: Falls City. 14,205 Nebraska City. 13,111 Clarinda. 12.730 Shenandoah. 12.59!) Auburn. 10,722 Maryville. 8,349 M. E. Conference News. Rev. Brooks returned Tuesday from York, Neb., where he at tended the annual South Platte conference. He has been return ed to this city, a fact that is ac cepted with pleasure by his con gregation. The services at the M. H. church will be the same as usual next Sunday. Among the changes made in our neighboring towns at the con iorenoe held at York were the removal of Rev. Wachtel from Ruin to Vesta, with the former parish unsupplied. W. 0. Barrel was sent to Salem and Stella. We have not learned where Rev. Severenee of Salem will be lo cated. W. C. T. U. Notes.
