There ' .•was a provision in the will which stipu- , lated that Mrs. Weber was to receive a certain sum of money, monthly, from frier son, who is the only other heir, and '"that aside from this the whole estate Svas to go to the son. , For a time Mrs. Webber signitied her willingness to stand by the provisions •* of the will, and signed a written agree ment to that effect. But after a time she became convinced that the distribution of the estate was an unfair one, and that she had not re- '. ceived her just dues. Accordingly she. petitioned the probate court to be allowed <o come in for the third of the estate, regularly prescribed by law, in spite of he will and her voluntary ratification. .The court holds, however, that she can not recover to the extent of a third of 'the estate, because of the ratification, and that the law allowed a third to the Widow does not apply to a case of that nature. Grant Frazier, charged with forgery on several different counts, was arraigned before Judge Lochren in the United States CCtirt yesterday, and bail was lixtd by _the court ot $3,<XW, in default of which Frazier was remanded to the county jail. He will be tried at the next term of the federal court, which convenes on June 24. Frazier was put through the "sweat process" yesterday, but still maintains a. sullen silence, further than to declare his innocence. He has made m. arrange ments for an attorney to defend him at the trial, and the officials are of the opin ion that he will plead g-uilty between now nd the date of the trial. In case that he pleads guilty it will i ably have the effect of reducing the sentence of Carpenter, who is now serv ing a sentence of two years and a half for passing the checks that Prasier is al °leged to have issued or it may bring a) out his pardon. After Frailer finds .tuat he cannot, escape conviction he will undoubtedly tell the Whole story, and Q thus present the case of Carpenter in its proper light. PREPARIJiLG FOR BIG PICNIC.

RUxNDLETT REPORTS ON CHRIST CHURCH WALL Saj» It Should »»e Taken Down in.[ iti-lmtll—Some Stigru'es- City Engineer Rundlett yesterday com pleted his examination of the condition of the front wall and foundations of Christ church, Fourth and Franklin Streets. The examination was made at the re. quest of the church trustees, who are de sirous, of knowing the actual condition. .so that they can have the required re pairs made as soon as possible. Mr. Rundlett In his report says he found the south wall and on? of the abuttments in bad condition, though-there la no im mediate danger of its collapsing. In ad dition to the elements, a tire which the church suffered in ISOB, he thinks, is largely, responsible. The wart has bulge! to a considerable .extent, and the ben way out of the difficulty, Mr. Hi.mix: thinks, is to take it down and rebuild It. The remainder of the building he has little fault to'find with. If the wall can not be taken down, he advises immedi ate repairs and th? construction of drains that will relieve th.- foundation from an excess o f 'iampneesu He also, recommend) the rebuilding of one of the chimneys on the rectory, which is in bad condi tion.

John Josrphson, a wr>ocl sawyer, living j at No. 1 Swede Holiow, was found In an i unconscious condition early yesterday : morning in Phalen creek, near Fourth Commercial street, ins throat was cut from e,u- to ear. arCd ins wtndpipe , severed, both wrists were sawed to the lone, and his scalp was neariy torn off • I; is head. v. was taken to the city bos pitaJ in the ctntral patrol wagon. When Josephson recovered consciousness ne claimed tn.it he was beaten by two m< n, but the police believe his injuries are the result of a drunken idea to kill him ■ self. The theory of the police. Is partially' borne out by the fact that '"Joseph'son's pocketbook, .containing: $125 ". in currency.! and a draft for $378, was found in his pockets. Gust Johnson, who lived with Joeephson In the shanty in the hollow, was yesterday arrested and locked up in the central station pending the investiga tion. At the time of his arrest John was suffering from an acute attack of delirium tremens. The police are satis tied thai Johnson had nothing to do with tin- case.-. - • - . . " ■ - • ;- Joseplinun'H Slurj. Jos. |»h:<..n'» story is that he was return ing home about 2 ocior-k in the morning after spending" the night "drinking. H. went through the turmd to Commercial street with the intention of reaching the path'which leads to !hc 'i.olU-vv. When ha arrived at the creek just above the tunnel two men approached:him. Josephson de scribes the men .is 'U)ig men, like rail- I load men." One if them hit him on -the head with a stone; and they thenbegan! cutting him with a knife. When they finished their knife woik. he says, they threw him into the creek, -where he laid I until discovered by Officer Maroney. Th« | only reason Jos>|>hson. could give for. the [ pssaull- is that the m< wanted to rob | him. "f: ■■ '■; ' i.' '. = '>' i ■; ; 1 Inasmuch as there was m attempt to ; take hi:, money or am thing on his per son. the polite refused to believe ... his story. Josephson is a rioted drinker, hav ing once before fallor the retaining wall, breaking one leg and 1 is jaw. This j occurred at about the same .spot where : lie was found yesterday morning. The ; police claim that Josephson was drunk and decided to kill himself, and that alter cutting his throat and wrists he fell off the embankment into the creek where he was found. Th* creek Is full of recks and boulders; which would account for tI;V. lacerated 'condition of. his scalp and for : the other bruises on the. uppjr part of his body. :';;.: . • Dull K»l I at-il. The wounds on the wrists show that the 1 instrument used was a dull .saw-edged I knife. -Such a knife was found beside the led of Johnson,: but there was no. aign of blood on it nor any on any of Johnson's clothing. "'The police 'claim that" Josepii-, son's Ir.juries about the wrists and throat Show suicidal intent.. They maintain that ■ with-ignorant people this, i* the usual j method employed. ..Josephson claims to have no ; particular enemies -■ who "would treat him in this manntr for revenge. With the theory at ro&berjr dlspelletf by the finding of the money on his person, the only ground for an assault of that character would be revenge, or else the work of a pair of maniacs. Chief O'Connor detailed Detectives Daly and Sweeney on the case, and after working in the neighborhood all day yes terday both were.of the opinion that Jo. Mphson attempted to kill himself by cut t.ng his wrists and throat and then fell off the embankment, cutting his scalp by coming in violent contact with the rocks in the bed of the creek. There are sev eral Italians living ground the shack where Johnson and Jo^ephson lived, but they ail maintained that th-y knew noth ing of the affair. They raid that they had never any trouble witft Josrphaon." ' Josephson was willing to talK at the city hospital yesterday, "but the silver tube through which he now breath** im peded his speech. it took Dr. Ancker and his corps. of physicians about-three hours to attend to the wounded man, ana they now nave every hope • that he will recover. Josephsen is forty-eight years ;old and unmarried. - ■:--*-■ . JidniMHi Knows Nothing. Gustav Johnson, who partook or Josephson s bachelor hospitality, was suf ficiently . recovered last night to talk about the,matter. He said that he came home drunk about 10 o'clock, and did not know anything until awakened by the de tectives yesterday morning Johnson has lived with Josephson for ' ' .. V ■ ' some time. He said last night that when ever Josephson was drinking he imagined that three or four people were after htm trying to kill him,, - Johnson says that two years ago he fell off an embankment, and tried to make people believe that someone pushed him. off. "He's twisted whenever he's drunk, and I think he did it himself," was Johnson's opinion In ■brief. ASSAULT ON WAINOUS DUE TO A LOVE AFFAIR Police Think Dr-ugr Clerk's Assault Was Due to an Affair of the Heart. Henry Wainous, the young drug clerk who was assaulted In the basement o£ the Albion hotel Friday night Is rapidly recovering from whatever little injury he may have received in the affray. The po lice have come to the conclusion that a love affair is at the bottom of the mac ter, atid that Walnous was not nearly so badly injured as he supposed. Wainous and an employe of the hotel were rivals for the affection of a young lady, a clerk in one of the department stores of the city. There are other love affairs in the block, and at times some of them conflict. It Appears that some Jealous swam waited in the basement tor his ri^-al with-the intention of settling love affairs in the prehistoric manner of the stone age. Whether Wainons was the right one or not is yet to be determined, but the police maintain that the injuries he received were not sufficiently severe to cause him to lapse into unconscious ness. The detective* who have looked into the case believe that Wainous probably knows who assaulted him. and the police believe that he could toll if he wanted to. They scout the theory of robbery, and when mention is made of the pocket book that was fuund lyin^r beside him. it is statod that he threw it there himself in his efforts to become heroic.
