Field Fire Along Ridge Road Near Braddock Heights
A stubborn field fire along Ridge Road near Braddock Heights burned about two acres on Wednesday afternoon. Firefighters battled for an hour and a half, mainly in a plowed field and stubble, as sparks reached a nearby wooded edge and a stone wall slowed efforts. Cardboard boxes were burned on the Dwayne Keller property near U.S. Route 40 as water was applied from booster tanks and the engine bridged rough terrain.

Fourth Will Is Probated In Woodward Estate
In New York, the fourth and last will of William Woodward, dated 1948, provides a life income to his widow from one third of an estimated 1 million dollar estate, with the remaining two thirds placed in trust for his children. The widow’s share reverts on her death. Mrs. Woodward received 2500 cash, the legal minimum. The 35-year-old socialite- spoils man was shot by his wife Ann in their Oyster Bay Long Island home after a noise she thought a plane er. A Nassau County grand jury cleared her of blame. Harold Corbin, special guardian for the Woodward children, asked that the will be admitted to probate as more favorable to the wards than prior wills.
