They learned last night that an Oklahoma judge had awarded them half of their late uncle's estate a 160-acre Indian grant tract near Drumright, Okla.. the 18 producing wells and the $500,000 gasoline re finery of the Sinclair company that are on it but they reported to work today. "Put now we're worried sick about seeing a lot of other folks who came into big money losing all of it," said Willie. "We're going to invest it all half in government defense bonds and half in annuities that'll pay us a little something every month." "And there isn't any use of selling folks coming around trying to get some of it." Floyd added. "We're going to tell all those people: 'See cr.r lawyer.' " The big, toothy smiles that wreath ed their faces amply hid any worry or concern they felt. They protest ed, feebly, however, that the money wasn't in their pockets yet. Principal concern of Floyd's was his estranged wife. She filed first divorce papers in. August and Sept. 18 won temporary maintenance from a district court here. "She was awarded $3 week until further order of the court." said Floyd, "and, boy, oh boy, there ain't no telling what those further orders going to be if I get this money." Both are high school graduates. Already their wardrobe includes pin stripe suits, tab collared shirts, silk ties but with the inheritance there aren't going to be any fancy cars, mansions, checked suits, champagne parties. "I'm going to put on my cover alls and keep right on reporting for work in the canned food and soap department," Willie said. "And I'm going to be right there with him," added Floyd. Willie, who was 33 yesterday, has been at Swift's since 1936; Floyd, who is 27, since 1939. Neither has missed a day at work except for brief leaves or absence granted so they could testify in the proceedings at Sapulpa, Okla. WOULD ABANDON STATIONS In the past year the railroads in Nebraska have conducted a general retrenchment program and elimin ating the non-revenue producing lines where possible as well as cur tailing the number of stations that have to be maintained. The use of the automobile and trucks in the smaller places have particularly made the railroad revenue nil. The Missouri Pacifc railroad is asking the state railway commission for permit to dismantle their station buildings at Mynard near this city and Walton, east of Lincoln. The Rock Island is requesting the permit to close their station at South Bend because of the lack of patronage. The closing of the stations will per mit the elimination of the custodians as long since the station agents have been eliminated. ATTEND MASONIC MEETING Raymond Cook, assistant grand custodian, and J. Russell Reeder, were in Syracuse, Nebraska Thurs day night, where they attended the past master's gathering of Mt Morlah lodge No. 57.
