Jacobs, the hns. Tw band and father of the family, left a ton will. This will, which was drawn on lea< January 4, 1912, is verv brief. It is, Sup however, of regular form, the names it c of three reputable citizens appear a9 dut witnesses to tbe instrument. In tb's cap will, it is stated, Jacobs bequeathed ail sup his personal property to his wife, to < Mary E. Jacobs. He also named Mrs. Jacobs as executrix of the will. j^j Stranse as it mav aDDear?for Jacobs owned considerable real estate in the j ^ community upon which hi9 dwelling ^ house stood?Jacobs did not in this ^er alleged will make *ny disposition of anc his real estate holdings. This will, it . is expected, will be the cause of an ves unusual law suit, for it will be hard, *en it i9 said, to determine into whose 8^e' possession this property should fall. ! A Immediately after the drawing of 2'0( the will, it is said, Jacobs deposited ^or the paper with J. B. Lathan, a lead" wa! ing merchant of Little Mountain, with niD the admonition that Mr. Lathan place * the paper in his safe for safekeeping. ^ee Not until a few da?9 ago did the public Iasoti fViot fliia rtrill oviaf.ort TVfr TAthftll pel l/UHV V??*P TT I** ? himself forgetting it until the tragedy k*8 brought it to mind. In the event that jj?1 the will is carried into the courts the !D Kin question will be whether or not the 6118 relatives of the family on Mrs. Jacobs' ^ side of the house or the relatives of &D( the family from the husband's family , should receive the property. There is a tract of 834 acres assessed on the tax books of Lexington county ^ in the name of John D. Jacobs. This 68C property lies within five miles of Peak . in the famous Dutch Fork. f hp G. W. Jacobs, of Newberry, a broth er of John D. Jacobs, has applied to ^ George S. Drafts, judge of probate for ^ Lexington county, for letters of ad- ^ ^ ministration of the estate of his deceased brother. otk Officers are still working on the case, ^ but are reticent as to any progress . .they may be making. G. W. Jacobs has offered a reward , of $1,000 for the arrest and proof sufficient for conviction of the party or parties who murdered the family. ma } figi Begin On Electric Line. bei me Augusta, July 12.?Michael P. Mc- ^ IIlc* Grath, contractor for the Carolina & Georgia railway, is expected to reach pa Augusta today. He will be in charge ^ of the construction work of the elec- ags trie railway to be built between cor Augusta and Columbia by way of ^ Batesburg, Leesville and Lexington. ^ His coming is to hold an important ^h conference with the officials of the proposed road. , i Mr. James U. Jackson, president of sa^ the Carolina & Georgia railway, was a | in New York last week, returning ^ home last Friday. He stated last night ?er 10 that Mr. McGrath is expected to leave I we R New York "Wednesday, and that when 7 we ! the contractor comes here there are . 5 . tor I several matters of importance to come ^ I up for discussion. All he cared to g(^t i give out for publication prior to Mr. V McGrath's arrival, however, was that ^ R | it will be definitely decided when the ^ R j contractor reaches here and goes over i the two proposed routes whether the ^e( | line will, after leaving Graniteville, S. j C., in Aiken county, go by way of ^ Eureka or take a more westerly course and touch Trenton and Johnston, S. C. He stated that just as soon as this t is determined and the rights of way . , me are secured, construction work will v exl begin. j th? 1 ' ?
