made very commendable success in
his chosen work and was but a short

have been visiting in the northwest

will average from 20 to 25 bushels

the Propst Auto company of Union,

ing when the case was submitted by
argument to Judge A. II. Duxbury.
After the trial and argument the
court made a prompt decision of the
case, holding that the application for
the probate of the will would be al
lowed and the documents offered as
the last will and testamcut of Henry
Kettlehut. Sr., would stand.
The will covered only u luuall part
of the estate as the large land hold
ings of the deceased had been con
veyed by Mr." Kettlehut to the sons of
his large family, there be:ng eleven
children surviving. The will stated
that each of the daughters of the de
ceased were to be given money con
siderations of $1,500 f-ch to be paid
by the sons of Mr. Kettlehut who
had received the land, this being sti
pulated in their deeds.
Part of the land is located in Lan
caster and part in Cass county, but
the deceased had made his home in
Eagle and here the estate was pro
bated. The contest of the will was made
by several of the daughters of Mr.
Kettlehut, one daughter, Mrs. Stange,
not being a party to the action. The
land consisted of two eighty acre
farms, one 160 acre tract, the resi
st uce in the town of Eagle and an
other Final! traet adjoining the town
which were given t.i each of the sons,
the ones receiving the large tracts of
land to pay the money necessary to
recompense the daughters in their
cash settlements.
Asthe case., was very hotly con
tested here it will probably be ap
pealed to the district court.
A very large number of the resi
dents of Eagle were here for the two
days of the trial, many being called
here as witnesses in the case.
