Slie Asks Tluit Hit Stepfather's Will Bo Sot Aside ami That All the Prop erty Ho I eft Revert to Her I'nder 0e Terms of an Alleged Agreement Mndo In 18BI riaintirr and Her Husband Are Now Vnder Indict ment. Another chapter In the story of Mrs. Mabel Warner's attempt to se cure possession of the estate of the late James W. Young was started last evening when Attorneys for Mrs. War ner filed a suit In equity, wherein they ask that the dead man's will be SM aside and nil of the property given their client. The suit is brought against B. B. Hall, administrator of Young estate, Miss Nora Watts and other heirs of the dead man. In the complaint Mrs. Warner alleges that when her mother and stepfather were divorced In 1801, an agreement was made whereby Mrs. Warner, then Mabel Young, was to continue to live with her stepfather, who was also her uncle, and that he would educate her and leave her his property at his death. At that time the plaintiff was 10 years of age and attending school at St. Joseph's acad emy In this city. It Is claimed by the plaintiff that she conformed to the agreement made, that until she became of age she was under her stepfather's control, nursed him In sickness and gave him the af fection of a daughter. The attorneys for Mrs. Warner are Carter, Raley & Raley and Winter & Cplller. The amount Involved In the Young estate Is valued at between 130.000 and MO.000. By the terms of the first will found and which is the only one that has ever been filed for probate, the dead man left land valued at $7, 000 or $8000 to Miss Nora Watts, a niece, while the remainder of the es tate not being bequeathed would fall to the legal heirs, of which Mrs. War ner Is not one. A. D. Stillman and Judge S. A. Low. ell have been serving as attorneys for B. B. Hall, administrator, and It Is probable that a demurrer will be filed shortly. Both Mrs. Warner and her husband are now under Indictment In the fed eral court for forging a will, and they are out on $750 bail each, pending the trial, which will occur at the Oc tober term. STABBED 1)1 IIINfi A FIGHT. Affray Resulted From Cruel Xegleci or Children. The La Grande Observer gives the following account of a disagreeable affair that occurred in that place Tuesday morning: Because H. T. Pheps last evening, about 5:30 tried to do a humane act, he was knocked down and kicked In the face. However, he Is not the only one to suffer, as before the fight was over, Pheps' assailant was bleeding from a knife wound in the arm. It appears that John Evans, a rancher In this vicinity, has been transacting business in the city, and after getting ready to leave for home, had gathered his little girls In a wagon. Before starting, however, he had driven up to a saloon and leaving the children In the vehicle, went Into the saloon to get a drink. It Is as serted that for three hours he re mained there while the little tots were waiting outside. Here It was that H. T. Pheps got In trouble. Having seen the children shivering In the cold, he took com passion on them and went Into the saloon. Stepping to Evans side he inquired If those were his children on the outside. Evans informed him that they were and that he could take care of them himself. Pheps held that the man should cease drinking and care for the cold and sufferln children. This led to blows In which Pheps, aged about 65, was knocked down and kicked In the face. Mr. Pheps gathered his scattered senses and arose with a drawn knife. Quick ly slashing at his opponent, he ad ministered an ugly gash In the right arm. The knife caught Evans In the large muscle of the arm. causing a profuse flow of blond. The wound Is a dangerous one. Mr. Pheps la a nur sery man of Boise, Idaho. Papers are out for the arrest of Evans as soon as the wounds the man l now suffering from, will permit. The charge states that ho assaulted the old man and maltreated him. JAILED FOH PROFANITY. Sewing Machine Man Forgot la Be a GciitUnnaii. W. O. Day, a sewing machine agent, but who seems to be disowned by his house, Is now In the city Jail serving a ftve days' sentence for having used profane language while working as a solicitor here yesterday.

The agent Is said to have tried to make some collections here yester day and that payments wore refused because the ladles had been Informed he was no longer employed by the company. It was then that he made himself offensive by his use of pro fanity. MIDDLE FINGER MASHED OFF. Threshing Machine Accident Near Cold Springs.
