at the Presbyterian hospital in Oma
ha where he has been for the past few
days is reported as doing nicely. Mr.

MOVEMENT IS
MADE FOR A MUCH
GLEANER CITY
ihe new ordinan-e whicn is pro
posed by the city to 'over the throw
ing of waste matter and rubbish in
the streets and alley.; of the city is a
move in the right direction and is a
move that should have the hearty co
operation of every citizen. The
movement lias been started largely
through the efforts of Chief of Police
Barclay, who has started a movement
for a cleaner city, and his efforts have
already resulted in a groat deal of
good in checking the habit of throwing
rubbish in the alleys and streets, re
gaidless of the looks of the thorough
fares or the effect ttvit it might have
on the health of the community. It is
proposed to have th-.' different prop
erty owners put out garbage cans in
the rear of their buildings either in
dividual!- or by having two or three
in a block join in the purchasing of
these cans, and when full the city wid
have the contents hauled away to the
city dumping ground,. This will have
a good effect in keeping the rear of
the buildings in better shape and not
allow them to become an eyesore to
the public and will tend toward li
more healthful con litin of affairs
The habit that many have of throw
ing waste paper on the streets is an
other thing that should be looked after
by the citizens and the paper placed in
somen lace where it will not blow
around an 1 litter up ;he streets It is
just ai easy, for everyone to do their
part toward keeping the streets clean
if they only will get the habit.

THE KOHENSHELL
ESTATE TO BE DIVIDED
BY SUIT IN PARTITION
An echo of the iitigation in the
estate of Joseph Hohenshell and Ja
mina Hohenshell, deceased, which has
been threshed through the district
court in this county and appealed to
the supreme court, has been filed in
the district court in a tuit in partition
entitled Archibald H'tbenshell vs. Kate
Hohenshell, in which the plaintiff
asks that the real estate belonging to
the estate of Joseph Hohenshell be di
vided, as under the mandate of the
state supreme court, which fixed the
fhare of Kate Hohenshell in the estate
at one-third. In the petition of the
plaintiff it is recited that Joseph
Hohenshell died on February 11, 1910
leaving as his heirs his widow. Ja-
mima Hohenshell, ard the plaintiff.
On July , 112, Ja:aima Hohenshell
died and left as her heirs her daugh
ter, Kate Hohenshell, and the plaintiff.
In the settlement of the estate there
was considerable litigation, as it was
contended that Kate Hohenshell was
entitled to a share i.t the proceeds of
the estate through her mother, who
had held an interest in the estate. This
was fought through the courts and in
the supreme court the decision was
favorable to the claims of Mrs.
Hohenshell. and she was awarded a
one-third tdiare, and it is now desired
to divide the estate under this order
of the court. The land in question is
located in the western part of Cass
county and is at pre.-ent occupied by
the plaintiff. The caee will probably
dispose of the long-standing litigation
in the settlement of the estate.
