I Tho crew struck for $3 per day
Instead of thirty conta per hour for
eight-hour shifts. Manager Mlllor
said that thoro wns no particular

placed whon they became dissatis
fied with tholr Jobs.
Mr. Miller said that tho new mon
wore working for tho samo pay as
tho mon who had quit, He denied
a roport that tho company was fur
nishing tho new men boots In addi
tion to tho pay.
Pettyyeff Case.
According to rumors around last
night nnd todny, tho assault on A.
Pettyyeff, ono of tho striking crow,
who was found In a Boml-eomatoso
statu yestorday was duo to troublo
between tho strikers and the mon
who took tholr plncos, Mr. Mlllor
said that this was entirely orron
eoiiH so far as ho could find out. He
said that thero had been no trou
ble. Nothing new has developed In the
Pettyyeff caso today. The hat found
by Officers Carter and Richardson
yestorday was identified as Petty
yerr's by Georgo Ray. A club was
triund near ,lt and It Is believed
this was tho Instrument used on
Pottyyerr.
Pettyyeff was reported to tie
about tho same at Mercy HoBpltal
today. Dr. Dlx said that his In
juries were not necessarily fatal, In
fart many recovered after such In
juries. However, there is a danger
of meningitis developing and dan
ger of paralysis.
Pettyyeff cannot talk but bo was
ablo to recognize his wife yesterday
and shake- hands with her. She" re
turned to the case at Eastsldo where
she is nursing, saying that he
would bo well cared for at Mercy
Hospital.
Pettyyeff Is Bald to bo a sober
industrious man and the reports
about his having been intoxicated
are not believed by men who knew
him well. He was with the strik
ing crew the night before last.
OVER ESTATE
Mrs. Kirkpatrick Cut Off Chil
dren and Willed Property
to Others
(Special lo The Times.)
COQUILLE, Or., March 27. The
sttlomont of tho - will, of tho Kite
Mrs. B. M. Kirkpatrick has had the
undivided attention of tho Probate
Court, which has been In session
at the court houso. Judgo John F.
Hull Is presiding In tho case nud
has been hearing testimony au7 tak
ing ovid'iire for tho past four Cays,
during which tlmo ho has examined
nearly thirty witnesses.
Tho ICIrkpatrlcks wero very well
known all over tho county, having
resided In this section for out 30
yearn and for a greater part oi tho
tlmo wei residents of this city. J".
M. Kirkpatrick passed away Octo
ber IU, 1012, and willed his prop
erty, which consisted of about
$1200 In money and u home on the
Moulton street bridge, to Mrs, Kirk
patrick. The money, Mr. Kirkpat
rick willed to his widow with the
stipulation that sho was to have
a certain allowance each month and
at tho tlmo of hor death, which oc
curred Soptombor 10, 1013, all had
boon consumed but a very small
amount. Following tho death of
hor husband, Mrs. Kirkpatrick con
tinued to resldo at her homo but
being very old and feoblo, sho had
her daughter, Mrs. Ualch, reside
with hor. Shortly after part of tho
place was rontfd to II. F. Newman
and wife, new nrrlvals In this city,
who arranged to tako care of Mrs,
Kirkpatrick nnd did so up to the
tlmo of her doath. Mr. Newman Is
n shoemaker by trade and is em
ployed In the Tozler harness shop.
Just eight days hnrore her demise,
according to the testimony in tho
case, Mrs. Kirkpatrick sent for Jus
tice of tho Peaco Stanley and In his
presonco signed her will, but bulng
unable to wrlto her slgnuturo In full
placed her mnrk on tho document,
hequiathlng to each of hor children
the sum of $1.00 nnd tho home to
tho Newmans. Tho will was Imme
diately contested by tho heirs num
bering several children and grand
children on tho grounds that Mrs.
Newman had Influenced the old lady,
that Mrs. Kirkpatrick was unsound
of mind at the time sho placed her
mark on tho document and that tho
mark wbb insufficient evidence of
her signature.
Judge Hall, after hearing tho tes
timony of the various witnesses over
ruled tbo first two points, but gave
the contesting parties until April
10, 101 , In which to fllo briefs
on the last point, namely, that tho
mark placed by Mrs. Kirkpatrick
on the document was Insufficient
evidence of her signature.
