ORTH'S WILL UPHELD
Supreme Court Stands by the Spirit of the Law.
ENDING OF A NOTED CASK
Two Survivors of Guerrilla War Days Hold a Happy Reunion at Monmouth. Murderer Milas Smith Voluntarily Surrenders to the Sheriff'of Clark County.
Other Indiana News. INDIANAPOLIS, NOV. 27.—The supreme court has decided that the will of the late Godlove S. Orth of Lafayette shall stand. He bequeathed to Mary Ann Orth, who was his second wife, all of his real and personal property without reservation. Accompanying the will was a letter to his wife, in which he said he trusted she would have enough after paying his debts to assist all his children as they might need from time to time, without, however, endangering her own support.
It was alleged that Mary Ann Orth did not carry out the provisions of the letter filed with the will that had Godlove S. Orth known that his wife would not cany out the provisions of the letter, he would have made other provisions in the will. It was averred that Godlove S. Orth, three days before his death, said his wife had agreed to obey the letter of instruction.
The court holds that the wall must be the only guide that while Mrs. Orth was morally bound to obey the letter she was not legally bound to do so. The case attracted much attention in northern Indiana, where the Ortlis were so well known.

Grandstaff and Grouse escaped mortal hurt, and after great suffering tliey managed to reach the Union army.

(5, 1894, and then disappeared, has surrendered to the sheriff of Clark county and gave bond in $5,000 for trial. A number of persons were congregated in a store in that village on the night in question, and Smith was teased and taunted until lie was well nigh distracted. Among his tormentors were the Pettit brothers, between whom and Smith there was a long-standing feud, and the Pettit brothers, it is alleged, made a rush for Smith. They were stopped by a shot wbieli killed Lemuel, after which Smith lied.
