Probate Laws as
Defined By Our
County Judge
At the request of several residents
and land owners of this county, 1
have carefully prepared and now send
out the following statement regard
ing the law in this state relating to
the disposition of the property of a
deceased person, and would suggest
that the wives as well as husbands
carefully read the following, as in
time we all must die and it should be
i our desire to dispose of our property
in a fair equitable manner, as well as
to learn what our law is.
And now please remember that an
estate is settled by the laws in force
at the time of the death of a person,
and not by some law passed after
wards. There have been practically
but two laws in this state effecting
real-estate of deceased.
The laws of 1800 which were in
force until July 5th, 190J, and at which
time the present law began to take
effect.
On March 29, 1839, there was a law
passed called the Baker Law but this
was afterwards declared unconstitu
tional as to affecting the disposition
of real-estate by our Supreme Cou.rt.
Our Legislature passed a special act
to legalize the settlements of estates
made under this law, but our Supreme
Court afterwards declared this uncon
stitutional, so the Baker law wasonly
legal as to the settlement of personal
estates made under this law.
Under the old law and up to July
5th, 1907, a wife under the law inher
ited none of the real-estate of her
husband but had a dower interest in
her husband's estate which consisted
of one-third of the income from his ;
real-estate, as long as she lived.
1 will now speak of the law as it is :
today and has been since July 5th,
1907, and will say to the good wife and '
mother, that if your husband should j
die you will be entitled to receive!
under the law as follows, and can say i
that a husband inherits from his
wife's property the same as a wife
from her husband.
One-fourth part to the husband or
wife if not the parents of all of de
ceased c.iildren, the remainder to
children of deceased if there be one
or more children.
One-third part to the husband or
wife if the survivor is the parent of
all the children of deceased and there
be two or more children.
One-half to the husband or wife if
the survivor is the parent of all the
children of deceased and there be
only one child.
One-half to the husband or wife if
there be no child and remainder to
the parents or brothers and sisters of
deceased.
The above refers to real-estate of
a deceased person.
The surviving husband or wife is
entitled to a life interest or use of
the home w hich if in the country can
consist of not more than 180 acres and
buildings but not of more than the
the value of *2000.00, and if the home
be in town, not to exceed two lots and !
buildings and of the value of $2000.00
and at the death of husband or wife
this descends to the heir, but by a
very recent decision of our Supreme
Court, if there are no creditors the
surviving husband or wife can have
the life use of homestead without any
restrictions as to value.
\\ e now come to the disposition of I
the personal property of a deceased.
First, The surviving husband or
wife or children, if both are dead, is
entitled under the law, to all wearing
apparel, ornaments and household
furniture of deceased, and all other
property that were exempt to the
deceased at the time of his or her
death, and other personal property of
the value of $200.00.
The above allowances are allowed
whether a will is made or not.
Second. The husband or wile and
children, constituting the family of
deceased shall receive allowance for
support of family durimr settlement
of estate as the county judge shall
allow, but not for a longer period than
one year.
If both husband and wife are dead
an allowance must be made by the
county court for the maintainauce of
minor children until they reach the
age of 14 years.
The remainder of personal property
after paying ^expense of administra
ting estate and debts of deceased,
shall be divided in the same propor
tions and to the same persons as the
real est- te.
A person of sonnd mind and memory
can by will, leave his or property to
anyone, but the wife or husband can
choose or elect to take under the will
or law or in other words a husband or
wife cannot leave the other less tlian
they are entitled to receive under the
aw.
In my opinion it is a good plan to
make your will if you have property,
and do so while you are in sucli a
mental and physical condition as will
enable you so to do, as you will not
die any sooner and those dependent
upon you when you are gone, may be
provided for as you desire.
A will can be deposited with the
count}’ judge at any time, and will be
probated by him when death occurs.
If a will is not deposited with the
county judge, it should be presented
to him within 30 days after death by
the person having posession of same.
If no will is left, the surviving wife
or husband should file petition for
the administration of estate with the
county judge within 30 days after
death.
With the desire that the above may
be of some service to the residents of
our county and with tire vvisli that all
may live many years and enjoy this
life, I remain Yours Truly.
E. A. Smith,
County Judge.
Alleged Firebug at
Boelus Arrested
A disastrous tire occurred at Boelus
! early Monday morning, destroying the
I buildings and contents of the Morden
Hansen harness and shoe shop, and
the R. E. Bishop & Son pool hall.
The tire started in the harness shop
about 3:15 a. in. and Boelus, having
no tire fighting apparatus, little could
be done to stop it. The Hansen stock,
according to the January invoice,
was about *1200 and was insured for
*1500. The building, which Mr.
Hansen held under contract, was in
sured for *400, which was all it was
worth. The building was the oldest
one in town, being the first one built,
something like forty years ago.
The pool hall building was owned
by Chris Rank and was insured for
*800, which would pretty near make
the owner good. There was *000 in
surance on the stock and tixtures,
which invoiced about *12o0, making
a loss of *000 for the ow ner. The (Jus
Warner building w as slightly damaged
by the heat, the windows being broken
out. He was allowed *45 which cov
ered his loss. The plate glass in the !
drug store across the street was •
broken by the heat. It was covered
by insurance. The tire was first dis-;
covered by a telephone girl who called
Mr. Hansen, and he was the first man i
there. It is alleged that Mr. Hansen
had been in the country and did not
arrive home until toward morning.
There was a strong feeling on the
part of Boelus citizens that there was
something crooked about the tire and
the county attorney was called in to
make an investigation and after look
ing into the matter he tiled a com- j
plaint of arson and Mr. Hansen was
arrested. He entered a plea of notj
guilty, being represented by T.T. Bell:
and w as released undei *500 bond j
given by his brother Jens. He is to';
appear for examination next Monday, j
j It stems that bad *uck lias followed |
| Mr. Hansen. It is alleged that this!
is about the fourth tire of this kind
that he has had, though we believe
he claims this is only the third. The
tirst one was in Kansas, and he had
one at Ashton. All have had more
or less’superstition attached to them
The charge tiled in this case is a very
serious one, but the many suspicious
circumstances seem to warrant it.
Goods from the store were found in
• Mr. Hansen's tiouse, in tiie barn, in
the granary and in the cave. He says
he had them distributed around that
way to make more room in the store,
though many towns-people say there
appeared to be a very small stock in
ttie store. It is alleged that Mr. Han
sen was seen wheeling goods to the
cave in the night. To say the least,
the various store rooms were incon
venient for showing goods_St. Paul

Primaries for
Postmasters
By a telegram in the Omaha YYorld
Ilerald and Lincoln .lournal under
dates of March tith, we see that Loup
City is to have a primary election for
the selection of a suitable candidate
for postmaster of this city, said elec
tion to be held on March 15th. Well,
well, and so Loup City nearly had an
election for successor to Dar Grow be
fore the people found it out. But
the Northwestern does not propose
snap judgement shall be taken on the
patrons of the postottiee before they
find it out and so gives the thing
away two days before the proposed
come-olT. €
Why You Need the Northwestern
Because its news is news.
Because yo.i can rely upon it.
Because it is not sensational.
Because it is clean and good to look
at and easy to read.
Because you can always find some
thing interesting in it.
Because, if you are an advertiser, it
reaches a class of people you can not
afford to miss.
Because it stands for the best inter
ests ot the county.
Because by reading it you can keep
reasonably well posted on the import
ant affairs of the world.
Because it is not asking for patron
age just ‘-because,” but because it in
tends to give you your money’s worth.
Because it will be worth while both
to read and to advertise in the North
western.
Because its circulation is constantly
increasing.
Because its standing is as good as
the best.
Because it is the official newspaper
of Sherman county and publishes Ml
the official doings of the county.
Good words and Resolutions
A few weekssince the Northwestern
spoke of its young and- valued friend, <
W. E. Henry, as about to engage in :
the ministry of the M. E. church at!
Riverdale, this state. Since that j
time. Mr. Henry has accepted the
pastorate at that point and last Sat
urday left with liis wife and baby to
engage in his chosen life work. The
Northwestern, with the host of friends
of the worthy-couple, will wish them
abundant success in their new and
helpful life work. Following is a
series of resolutions passed by the M.
E. church of this city, of which our
young friend and his wife were earnest
workers, showing the esteem and con
fidence in which they were aud are
held in the community in which they
have lived from early boyhood and
girlhood up to the present time:
Whereas. Brother W. E. Henry, one
of our official members, is about to
remove from our midst and engage in
the ministry of the Gospel:
Resolved, That while we regret to
lose him from our board and feel that ]
his help and conncil will be greatly I
missed, we nevertheless rejoice that!
he is entering upon a field of larger \
activity and Christian service.
Resolved. That we will watch l«(s
career with the most profound inter
est and that our sincere prayers and
Christian sympathy will ever go out
tohim and his companion in their
chosen calling in the vineyard of our
Lord.
Resolved, That we commend
Brother and Sister Henry to the full
est confidence and respect of the peo
ple among whom they may be called
to labor.

High School Notes
The seniors were given a holiday
Friday, the 7th, on account of the
class play.
Mrs. McCray, who is suffering from
the result of a fall some time ago, is
recovering as rapidly as possible.
The seniors wish to take this way
of extending their thanks to the
sophomore boys for the help given in
the play.
With the permission of the board
the high school boys will organize a
base ball team. A good team is a
credit to any high school.
Hallene Mellor ’13 has been quite
sick with tonsilitis the past week but
is again in school.
E. G. Taylor and Supt. Currier were
visitors at the school last week.
Angels FromStorkland
A baby,girl came to the home of
Mr. and Mrs. John Oblewski, last

tions to the happy parents.
A big, bouncing baby boy arrived
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edv
Lewis on Route 2, last Sunday, March
9, 1913, and Ed is stepping around
among the sun fringed clouds of hap
piness these days. Grandpa Lewis
also, has the glowing countenance of
gloried grandad, and is not to be
blamed either. Congratulations to
all concerned.
NO ELECTION
THIS YEAR
All Old Officers Hold Over
One Year
There will be no state, county nor
township elections this year, and all
offices will be carried over one year.
There appeared to be some question as
to the above from the interpretation
of the constitutional amendment
carried last fall, so the legislature
took a hand in the matter and pre
pared a law doing away with this
fall's elections, hence the sheriff,
county clerk, county judge, county
superintendent of schools, supervisors
and various township officers will
hold over one year. Of course the
above does not relate to those elected
last fall—county attorney reprlsenta
tive, state senator, congressman and
certain state officers.
