An extensive brief and argument In behalf
of the appellants, Joseph Williams and
others, in the Miles will case, wsa filed In
the supreme court today. Th action as It
now stands before the supreme court is
an appeal from a proceeding to set aside
the probate of what la known as the Rulo
will. Stephen B. Miles, whoso estate U
Involved In the legal battle, died at Falls
City in 189S, leaving property of an esti
mated valuation of more than $1,000,000.
Ha left surviving him two Bona, Joseph H.
Miles, who lived at Falls City, and Samuel
A. Miles, who at that time lived In Sabetha,
Kan. There bad been born to Stephen B.
Miles two daughters, Vlctorlne and Caro
line, both of whom died before the death
of their father, but left lineal descendants,
beirs-at-Uw, who are now parties In the
suit.
The case baa attracted widespread atten
tion, both because of its sensational fea
tures and the site of the estate Involved.
The two brothers are the principal con
testants. The plaintiffs In the suit filed
a petition in equity In the Richardson
county court to set aside the probate of
the Rulo will, on the ground that Stephen
B. Miles in the spring of 1897 at the St.
James hotel In the city of St. Louis had
made a later will which revoked the Rulo
will and made a more equitable distribution
of the property among the children and
their descendants. The case was tried in
tba county, a decree rendered in favor of
the defendanta. From that decree an ap
peal was taken to the district court and
thereafter the case waa tried and a like
decree rendered.
Since the' appeal to the supreme court a
motion has been made to the district court
to have the case reopened. It being con
tended that new evidence had been dis
covered which , shows conclusively that
there was a later will.
Graata a Water Right.
Secretary Dobson of the 8tate Board of
Irrigation acted favorably thla afternoon on
the application of the Bennett Live Stock
company for permission to appropriate the
water of Lodge Pole creek In Kimball
county for irrigation purposes. The com
pany proposes to erect a dam a quarter of
a mile long across the stream iiear the
town of Kimball, thua forming a reservoir
In which enough water could be stored for
neceaaary Irrigation purposes without de
tracting from the aupply for prior appro
priations. About 800 acres of land, all
In Kimball county, will be Irrigated from
a ditch extending eastward from the rea
ervolr.
