Deed Was a Will
Colville, Wash., Sept. 14.—Holding
in his complaint that an instrument
held as a doed by the defendants was
designed to be only a 'will conveying
the property in the event of his death,
Neal Sicott, an aged man who lives in
the Columbia valley, some distance
below Kettle Falls, has commenced suit
in the superior courT for the possession
it 40 acres of land. The defendants iD
the case are Abraham Gagnon and
wife. Sicott alleges that at the time
it executing the instrument, January
7, 1S99, he was in ill health and in
tended to make bequest of the property
to the defendants.
Since that time Sicott has become
robust in health, and he and the Gag
nan family are now not on the best of
terms, and he fears there are considei’
ible danger of his being deprived of
the right of possession should the Gag
nons decide to deed the property to
third parties. Sicott is past 70 years

it is believed had its origin in a spon

hose and the other three cut by broken
glass. The building adjoined the lot
on which the tents of a circus were set
and only a change in the direction of
the wind prevented the destruction of
the canvas structures.
The noise and excitement and the
sight of the flames caused a panic
among the horses and animals belong

had great trouble in subduing.
