ASKS FOR AN INJUNCTION Associated Press. Chicago. Feb. 10. —Establishment in Chicago of the $2,000,000 “ H. C. Elliott home for destitute children” provided for in the will of a wealthy Alaskan gold hunter, but hedged about by pecu liar legal provisions, is threatened with still further obstacles. The will in which the second wife of the testator and the proposed homo for ' children are the principal beneficiaries, was filed for probate yesterday. At once a suit to restrain the probating of the testament was filed by Catherine M. Elliott, first wife of Elliott, whom he diverged. Elliott was killed in Alaska last De cember by an avalanche near where he had been a gold hunter since 1897. A trust company was made executor for the estate. The income was to be paid to his wife, Grace Van Wormer Elliott,, with the exception of bequests to his son. H. C. Elliott Jr., a-sister, Ella: Louise, and a brother, A. J. Elliott. If at any time the estate reached a value of $2,000,000 that amount was to be fised in the construction of the chil dren's home bearing Elliott’s name. The first wife "bases her attack on a grubstake agreement made before El liott went to Alaska. Rhe declared she provided Elliott with $500 to enter the gold rush in 1897 and that she helps ,an agreement signed by her and her j husband which provides for an equal division of the proceeds from the min j ing venture. When Elliott returned from Alaska in 1902 after making his lucky strike he divorced his first wife. HF REFUSES SUBSTITUTE FOB NIB WIFE Columbus, O., Feb. 10. — Joseph Schoenborn of Youngstown steadily de clines to consider an imported sister-in law as a substitute for his wife, and lit tle Maria Nezbitowka, aged 20, is in consequence in -jail. The immigration authorities have her, alleging that she is an alien here, present under false pre tenses. Schoenborn sent transportation to his wife in Poland to enable her to join him in his home. His amazement was intense, therefore, when little Maria, with the remnant of Mrs. Schoenborn’s transportation in her pocket, appeared in the .stead of his beloved Bronislava. The fact that she was his wife’s sister and pretty did not stay him from enter ing bitter complaint to the immigration inspectors. Investigation by the department showed that she had entered the country as “Mrs. Jos. Schoenborn,” bound for Youngstown to join her husband, and the inspector who addressed her says she innocently confessed to purloining her sister’s ticket, in a natural desire to see the world. Schoenborn insisted that he wanted his wife and no substi-, tute and under orders issued from the immigration bureau the girl is being held for ।deportation. tain extent and undertaken in order to secure some immediate benefit from the large expenditure made at Aransas Pass harbor entrance in advance of the creation of a deep water port in that vicinity.

Dear Doctor —Just a few words as to my former condition. Eight years ago last May I was prostrated with a severe attack of la grippe. My physician said that I had quick consumption. After al>out four weeks, however. 1 rallied from this condition to the extent that 1 could perform my duties by sheer will power. The condition in which I lived from that time until I went to your office two months ago is too dismal to relate. Suf fice it to say. when I came to you T had about given up all hope. The climate of Colorado, which 1 have tried for six years, had lost its toning influence (as eventu ally will in every case), and I was dis couraged, dragging out a miserable ex istence from day to day, trying aa best I could to arrange my affairs so that when the grim reaper gathered me in I would be prepared to meet my fate. But on December 8, 1903, when I be gan treatment? wtith the BENBONIZER all these sorrows left me. At that time I was not able to speak in public for thirty minutes without my voice failing me. Within three weeks I speak as clearly Md with as much force as ever. When I camo to your office the first time the city chemist found 129 “Tuber culosis Bacilli’’ to the slide. On Febru ary 8. 1904, just sixty days after my first examination, he was unable to find any bacilli whatever. In my first examina tion “Elastic Fibre” was numerous. In my last report at the end of sixty days, there was none to be found. Yours very truly, (Signed) REV. O. A. SMITH. SAN NARCOS NEWS Speclil Dispatch San Marcos. Tex..
