Horn and Josephine Yetter, now being tried in the Hamilton county court, in which the plaintiff is resisting the probate of the will of Andrew Yetter, a former citizen and horseman of Maple Valley, is on trial before a jury at Noblesville. The case was taken to Hamilton county from Hancock county. Andrew F.'Yetter was the father of all the persons connected with the case. He died a number of years ago, leaving a will dividing his estate, valued at, $20,000, equally among his children except the plaintiff, to whom he bequeathed $5. The plaintiff alleges that his father was of unsound mind and also claims that undue influence was exercised to exclude the plaintiff from sharing in a division of the property.
