Spokane, Wash. Editor of Silverton Journal. Here is an article I clipped from the Spokane Daily Chroni cal, about a well fed priest at Butte, Montana. It shows their godly acts when it comen to rob bing their members. What they say is all right, for a priest is (w)holy man. Alleging undue influence on the part of Father A. R. Coop man ef Anaconda, in that while acting as her spiritual" adviser and confessor, he drew up a will himself and caused her to sign it while she was on her deathbed, a number of heirs this morning petitioned the district court in Anaconda to set aside the will of Mrs. Kate Ruddan, the sister of the late Marcus Daly, copper king. Mrs. Ruddan died in Ana conda September 27. 1912, aged 65. In the petition, which was filed by attorney T. J. Walker and Frank C. Walker, the peti tioning heirs state that the will was drafted by Father Coopman and that it was signed during the hours of the night five days before her death, at a time when her spiritual adviser had com plete domination over her and when none of her kin was pres ent In addition to asking the court to set aside the will, the petition ers pray Jhat Father Coopman be removed as executer. The petition was presented to Judge Winston in’Anaconda at noon to day and the court entered an or der citing Father Coopman to appear before him October 27. While there are 13 heirs men tioned in the petition, the latter is brought on behalf of four, Mrs. Mary Daly of Brooklyn, a sister of the deceased; Michael J. O’Farrell of Butte, a nephew, and Marcus and Charles O’Far rell, grandnephews. As the lat ter are under age. suit on their behalf is brought through Mich ael J. O’Farrell as guardian. Among the heirs are: Mary Gerard of New York, a niece of the deceased and wife of the am bassador to Germany, $6000; Countess Harriet Sigray of Hun gary, a niece. $1; Marcus Daly of New York, nephew, $1; Hon ora Daly of County Cavan, Ire land, a sister. $1; Luke Daly of County Cavan. Ireland, a brother, $1; Mary O’Farrell, a sister, now known as “Sister Mary Victor,’’ of Notre Dame, Ind., $1; three children of the late Madge Brown, a niece, $1 each. The children reside in New York. The estate left by Mrs. Rud- den is estimated to be worth about $30,000. Under her will two-thirds of this goes to Father Coopman, $6000 to Mrs. Gerard and the remaining 12 heirs are cut off with $1 each. To own a alavo and a rnaaU*r be, to rut« for the paaalng hour, To ride on the hack« of misery in the purple robe of power— For this are Caesar’s ghostly wars, for this is the rich man made, And the victim's blood and the beg- ger’s sores are the coin of the sav age trade! For broad is the run of the Pagan hell, and little we’ve changed the pace; And the chasm in which the pagans fell still yawns in the self-same . place; And the beggest’ sores and the crim son stains still reckon the destine cost. And the victor settles hiaacrdldgains in the wreck of a soul that’s lost.
