Heirs FREMONT, Neb., Feb. 25.—(Special.)— Depositions were taken here today in the case pending in Hartville, Mo., to set aside tric old man who died there last December, leaving a large estate to his farm hand. The evidence was principally for the pur- pose of proving the identity of the deceased with the Bdwin R. Follansbee who formerly Lere was gome over. Frank Dolezal, who was Follansbee's attorney, testified in re- gard to the divorce suit which was com- menced many years ago by his wife, Mrs. Kate Follansbee, and to various interviews he had with him during his occasional visits to Fremont, the last of which was in the nesses as to his identity was J. P. Hansen, who once roomed with him for a long time and the scars on his legs which were noticed by the undertaker who prepa him for burial. Spectmens of the deceased’s handwriting were introduced in evidence and a certified copy of the record of the | marriage of Edwin Follansbee and Eliza K. Russell, which took place on April 19, 1584. The signature to the Missouri will and the signature to the application for the mar- riage license were also claimed by witnesses to have been written by the same person. Follansbee was a man of peculiar per- sonal appearance, about five feet ten inches tall, straight, round-faced, with dark brown position and very fond of repeating poetry. e was very atrong in his likes and di Ilkes and a sharp man at a bargain. He corresponded at Intervals with several peo- ple here and said that hig object in moving from place to place was to prevent his wito from getting a divoree and alimony and he frequently said that his children should have his estate and his wife not a cent it he could help it. His friends here think | his estate is greatly overestimated, brt far exceeds the few thousands which the special administrator in Missour! has in his pos- session. All the praperty he left here was the homestead of fiveYacres just south of the city, and which fs fieavily encumbered. s ¥ um KEARNEY GIRL'S ARM MANGLED Becomes Vietim of n a Steam KEARNEY, Neb., Feb. 25.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Miss Maud Peaker, a young woman employed in the Kearney steam laundry, met with an accident today which may re- sult in the loss of her right arm. Miss Peaker was putting a new cover on the cuff and collar mangle, when her right hand caught between the rollers and be- fore the machinery was stopped the' arm had been drawn down through the mangle nearly to the shoulder. The lever for throwing the machine out of gear was on the girl's right side and by resching ove with her left hand she was just able t grasp it, but could not move it. She screamed in agony, but the other girls in the room, seeing her situation, lost their presence of mind and did nothing. The rollers kept revolving and as the arm could go mo further between them they literally tore the muscles to shreds. The commotion attracted the attention of one of the proprietors of the laundry and he at once shut off the power and the young woman was taken to the hospltal. It was thought at first that it would be necessary to amputate the arm, as there was Do pulse to be felt In the injured wember and it was supposed that the artery had been destroyed. Later, how- ever, It was found that the bome was not broken and that amputation would not be necessary. DEEDS FARMS TO HIS SONS York County M Estate Distributes His Betor: His Deat!
