His seven grown-up children ex

a wealthy rancher of Chorryvtlle,
whose beautiful bride of three months
nursea tne nrst wire curing ner lasv
illness, stands heavily armed nightly
at the grave to prevent exhumation oij
the body. - -
The second Mrs. Friel, whorwas Miss
T.tif lift Wilson, of Portland, a t ruined
nurse, pleads with her husband to per
mit ner siepcnuursa to aisinier uil
body of tlwelr mother, that their aus-
Diclons may be proved false, but the
aged rancher Is obdurate.
Worn out by hla constant vigils at
the cemetery, Frlel says he will fight
to the last to prevent exhumation of
the body by anyone save, the Coroner.
He -fears, he said, that hla children)

bolster their charge. The nurse, they
say, was lared by their father's wealth
to wed him less than three months
after their mother's death last eb

Slander Suit Is Started.
Setting forth their fears of the per
petration of the alleged plot of tha
seven children Mr. and Mrs. Frlel con
ferred with Attorneys George C Brow
nell and William M. Stone here today
and engaged them to file salt alleging
slander against all the children.
This action by the aged ranchernd
his bride, who is half his age, was
preceded by a letter written by Frlel
to Sheriff Mass. The Sheriff refuses
to divulge the contents of tha. -letter
but It ia learned that -copy it
contains the following x - '

It Is also probable that Frlel-Sravfll
apply for a restraining order to "pre

officials. Both Mr. and Mrs. Frlel, the
aged man almost 'exhausted from worry
and the strain of his long watches, told
their attorney that they had no objec

they wanted it taken from the grave
and protected by the Coroner, to pre
