FINAL SETTLEMENT OF KINKAID ESTATE MADE BY ADMINISTRATOR WEEKES A rather novel method was adopted in disposing of the real estate belong ing to the estate of the late Moses P. Kinkaid who represented the Sixth District of Nebraska in Congress for twenty years and who died in Wash ington in July, 1922. He left twelve heirs consisting of a brother living, three children of a deceased brother and eight children of a deceased sister. The real estate consisted of 2640 acres located in Arkansas, Texas, Nebraska and Canada. S. J. Weekes of O’Neill, administrator of the estate suggested to the heirs that they divide the land by agreement to save the expense and delay of dividing it by partition suits in each of the juris, dictions. At a meeting of the heirs held in O’Neill recently they requested Mr. Weekes, the administrator, to sug gest a plan of division. A tentative plan was submitted by the adminis trator that seemed so equitable that no one of the twelve heirs would take a first choice. All the heirs declin ing to make any choice in the pro posed division, numbers were then placed in a hat and the numbers as drawn out by each heir took the allot ment of land with a corresponding number. That portion of the personal estate on which the cash had not been realized was divided among the heirs by agreement also. The probating of the estate has just been closed here and the adminis trator’s final report shows $107,000.00 , in cash received and disbursed.
