Redding Man’s
Will Found After
6 Months’ Search
A search lasting nearly six
months for the will of Mark
Humphrey Dewsnap of Reading.
was rewarded within the last few
days with the discovery of the
missing document hidden in the
back of a safe at his farm. The
will was admitted to probate
yesterday by Judge Henry W.
Gregory. who several months ago
refused to permit to probate a
carbon copy of the will that was
offered after first attempts to.
find the original were unsuccesp.
ful. The Central Fail-field Trust
company was appointed adminis-
trator of the estate. which in-
cludes the farm at Bedding and
is estimated at $25,000 in value.
Mr. Dewsnap died at the age
of 80. and had made the will
about a. your previous to that
time. The circumstances of the
probate are considered of inter.
est. particularly in legal circles.
because it is seldom that a car.
bon copy of a will is offered for
proof.

splash attracted the attention of the
girls who looked user just in time to
the water for the first time. They
both set out for the spot where they
had seen him drop. swimming at top
speed. As they neared the place
.they saw the child come up and go
-dowu again. With both arms work-
ing at top speed the girls reached
the scene just as the boy came up
the second time. Miss Pugh reached
out and caught hold of the child's
clothing as he was going down for
the third time. Miss L'hle then
caught hold of the boy and the two
girls managed to swim with him to
the dock where with some assistance
they brought him up to the dock
and worked over him. The child
soon regained consciousness and was
then brought to his home. He is
than the worse for his experience
today.
The two girls were nearly exhaust-
ed by the time they got the boy up
on the float.
They were complimented by the
residents of that section for their
wonderful work in saving the child
from drowning. Both girls are very
good swimmers and spend much of
their time during the summer
months in the water off the Marvin
