C3 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1920: BISMARCK::DAILY: TRIBUNE ° *: MILL CITY REPORTS CONFLICT AS TO PROBABILITY OF THORSON WILL. BEING CONTESTED BY HIS FAMILY. St. Paul Newspaper Says Heirs,! Cut Off From Pittance, Will Fight Million-Dollar Bequest to St. Olaf’s—College Head Declares No Such Action Is Likely Moorhead, Minn., Feb. 27.—Concor- dia college will not get the $25,000 bequested by the late Harold’ Thorson if-contest of the will to be made by the legal heirs of the dead man is upheld by the courts, A news dis- patch from St. Paul yesterday an‘ nounced that relatives of the dead bunker - have decided to attack the will on the ground that at the time of his death Thorson was incapable of making an intelligent will. A St. Paul paper yesterday printed the following on the pending will case: Fats BITTER FIGHT PROMISED “A bitter fight on the will of Harold Thorson, disposing of an estate vari- ously estimated: yesterday at from $2,000,000 ta $4,000,000, was forecast as those named executors of the will Were preparing to file it for probate o the probate court of Ramsey coun- “None. of the relatives would dis- cuss the impending contest but from authoritative sources it was learned that a legal battle was’ inevitable, with the children of the testator lead- ing the offensive, “The will, it is said, gives a large part of the estate to colleges, church- es and other, institutions under the charge of the Norwegian Lutheran church. -The College of St. Olaf, Northfield, is the favored-one in the will, according to report a ‘bequest of $1,000,000 being left to that in- stitution Concordia college, Moorhead also is remembered. CHILDREN REPORTED CUT “The four children of the deceased are said to have been bequethed buy) a small part of the estate, while one, of them is cut off altogether. Mrs. | I. H. Icker® 643 Cefokee avenue, | wife of the vice president of the American Nationa] .bank of St. Paul, of which Mr. Thorson was a director, receives $50.000 under the will, She! is a daughter of Mr. Thorson, An unmarried daughter, ‘Miss Cecile Thorson of St. Paul. is given $10,000. 'T. D. Thorson; president of th : zens State bank of Maddock, N. D. is ignored in the will, and the fourth child, Henry LL, Thorson, an invalid, is left sufficient to care for him in a hospital or sanitorium, “Heirs will hase their contest of the! will on the allegations that Mr. Thor- son was incapacitated to execute a} will intelligently because of the; ravages of a protracted illness which } caused his death. “He is said to have suffered from an attack of uremic poisoning two years ago and rapidly failed in health until the Thalady ended his life, The wilt which it i ill be filed within a few da pcuted but a short time before his death, and for | this reason, it is the contention of the heirs that he was , incompetent: ‘to transact business and particularly not of sufficient mental capacity to dispose of so large an, estate. “Mr. Thorson was 79 years old at ,the time of his death. He owned a chain of banks in Minnesota and North and South Dakota, said to num- ber about 30. Besides these holdings he was one of the largest real estate owners in the northwest, having large tracts of valuable land in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Up- per Michigan.” DOESN’T. EXPECT CONTEST Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 27.—That the bequest of the late Harold Thor- son giving $1.000,000_ to St. Olaf col- lege at Northfield, Minn., ignoring one of his sons, T. D. Thorson, president of Citizens State bank, Maddock. N. D., and making provisions for the other children, and a sum of $25,000 to ‘Concordia college, Moorhead, will stand uncontested, is the opinion of Rev. G. T. ‘Lee, editor of the Luther- an Church Herald, and ta lifelong friend of Mr. Thorson. “It has been the desire of Mr. Thor- son for many. years,” said Rev. Mr. Lee, “and he has stated so often that he wished to give the greatest part of his estate to the church and her in- situations. This interest in the church work he has evinced from time to time in various donations, St. Olaf receiving a gift of $100,000 a year ago. Mr, Thorson’ was one of the founders .of the school at Northfield, and the one who selected; the site for the institution.” ‘< The will was executed about a year ago, according to Rev. Mr. Lee, and oy of America. O. O. Erling, president of South Side State bank, iq presi- dent of the board, J. O. Estrem, set- retary, and Erik Waldeland, treas- urer.

Iron River, ‘Mich., Feb. )27.—The armed 4orces of federal prohibition under command of Major A. V. Dal- rymple, who came. here from Chicago to “put down a liquor rebellion in the upper Michigan peninsular” today had been withdrawn and the “revolt” itself had flickered out, The only casualities were nine ‘parrels of home made wine taken by, prohibition agents from a parish priests house where the state had stored it for safekeeping and poured into the snow. Major Dalrymple¥s announced in- tention to arrest State’s Attorney M. S. McDonough and county and Iron River officials as parties to the “re- bellion” ws: abandoned. Under orders from C, F. Kramer, national prohi- bition commissioner, directing with- drawal of the “invaders.” HISTORIC DIALOGUE The dialogue between McDonough and Dalrymple, which was their only conference, took place in the big roow of the hotel which serves as its lob- by. A hundred or more citizens were present. When the preliminry hand shdking had ;béen accomplished the prosecuting attorney plunged right in- to the subject. < “I have come here to issue a warn- ing to you, Mr. Dalrymple,” he said. “[ have read about the various things you planned to do to quell the whis- key revolt as you call it. What 1 want ‘to tell you is this: if you or any of your men attempt to arrest me or my aids without due process of law I will take you and your, en- tire party into custody immediately and I am prepared to du so. Now get this right—I will arrest you and your men and lock you up and put you where you belong, Mr. Dalrymple.” GRAND-STAND PLAY The maajor retorted: “I don’t want to get a lecture from you and this. seems entirely unneces- sary. I had come here for the ‘pur- pose of enforcing the law. And I think this is a Mtgh-handed grand- stand play.” : “You are a natural born grand- stander yourself,’ McDonough count- ered. “You have been playing to the public press and have said _ things which have been an outrageous af- front to this community. When you declare there has teen 1a whiskey revolt there you lie. Now that you are here if you have any arrests to make just start something. You haven't scared or cowed: anybody here.” YOU'RE ANOTHER To that Major Dalrymple replied: ees BUDDIES SIGN FIELD FOR BIG ‘POLICY =_—_ ee INTERNATIONAL FULT 5-2 CAPT.

Press reports quoted you as saying in a telegram to superior officers that this community was in rebellion against the government. If you did say it it is a lie.” WHILE THE MOVIE CLICKED And about 500 more words of sim- ilar conversation accompanied the click of the movie camera: Then the two officers departed, one to return to his office followewd by a huge mass of citizens and the other back to his interrupted meal accompanied by a dozen members of his official party. - FIGHT JUST BEGUN Chicago, Feb. 27.—Major A.
