DEATH STOPS CONTEST.
A contest of the will of the late James Coffey of Freedom has revealed the fact that his son, Patrick, had been burned to death at Fort St. Francis, Ontario, last February, although the fact that he was dead was not known until now. It came out in probate court that Patrick Coffey had crawled into a barn in the Canadian city and was burned to death. He had left home suddenly sometime ago and when it was found that his father had made him one of the heirs to a $12,000 estate the will was contested, the others claiming he was entitled to none. Thursday, when it was learned that he was dead, the contest was dropped, the contesting heirs coming into possession of what they wanted.
