CHANGE LAW OF DECEDENT Supreme Court Holds Law of 1895 la Unconstitutional. Ltncoln. July 11. The supremo court hntided down four belated opin ions, which make a material change. In the law of decedents in Nebraska. Judge Root wrote the decision, Chief Justice Reese and Judge Sedgvlcli dissenting from a portion of it The court reaffirms its former de cision, rendered several years ago, but goes further and declares Invalid a curative act of 1895, which had nev er before been questioned. The Baker act gave the! widow oPa deceased per son the homestead in fee and au thorized the county judge to set asldo a homestoad for a widow. That act was held unconstitutional several years ago on the ground that It was not properly passed ami be cause It gave a county Judge power to determine title to real estate. Tho curative act of 1895 was Intended to legalize the acts of county judges in setting aside homesteads in fee to widows. The supremo court now holds that the curative act is unconstitu tional because such an act is void in itself. The result Is that tho law on- forced prior to the Baker act Is now the law and that widows may only have a life Interest in a homestead. After she gets her share the heirs may take title In fee. It Is believed that few cases will arise under tho ruling because. In most case3 of di vision of estates the statutes of limi tations has run and litigation Is barred.

Phone 551 Alliance a ALLIANCE HORSE MARKET I wish to call the attention of horsemen to the conditions gov erning the sales which will be held at my new sale yards in Alliance. I have remodeled and rebuilt the yards, making them large enough to accommodate nearly a thousand head of horses; each yard is supplied with water, and rackB for hay. For the sales, the first of which wilt bo held late in July, I intend to do thorough and systematic advertising. I will furnish an experienced auctioneer who is himself a horseman and a judge of value. I will supply the yards nnd water; the advertising; the auctioneer; such help as is need' ed on sale day; and a clerk, who will carefully attend to all settle ments; at the following rates: $25.00 per car lot: $2.00 per head if horses are sold singly or in pairs. Hay and feed will be furnished at the lowest possible cost- This will make it an easy mat ter for horse growers in this sec tion to find buyers, and at a cost as low as at any sale market in the state- My wide acquaintance among horsemen of the state; the ex cellent railroad facilities of Al liance, together with the number of good horses raised in this vi cinity, should make the establish ment of this bam a certainty and be of great benefit both to stock growers and townspeople. If you have horses to sell, see me or write me at once as it is my intention to put forth every hon orable effort possible for the suc cess of these sales and the first sale will, without question, be a Inlmmer and a rare opportunity for horse growers to find horse consumers at home SIMON SPRY Auctioneer, Flavel L.
