Atlnclc IntrRrllr > ' AilmlnlMrnlor
I'n.icy Wlillt * Acting an Ijxcuulor
of ( he KMntr ot the
Ucccnned ,
The helrs-at-lnw of the late Mrs. Sarah
J. Ballard of this city , who arc contesting
her'will and endeavoring to have sot aside
the bequests lo the Woman's Christian as
sociation hospital , filed objection * yesterday
Jn the district court to the appointment of
N. M. Pusey as special admlnlstralor. In
support of their objections to the appoint
ment they filed a sUlement sworn to by
Irwln amd P. W. Hoblnson , two of the con
testing heirs , In which somewhat senwa-
tlonal charges nro made attacking the In-
tesrlty of Mr. Pnsoy while acting as execu
tor under tho-will of the late Samuel M.
Bnllard. From the position taken by the
holrs who have pone Into court to act aside
Mrs. BftlUrd's will , the fight over her prop
erly promises to be n long and bitter one.
Including the bequests to the hospital , the
value of itho property Involved amounts to
butwcon $70,000 and $80,000.
The document objecting to tlio appoint
ment of Mr. Puscy as special administrator
of the estate of Mrs. Hallnrd pending the
lltlgallon over the proballng ot the will Is
a leuglhy affair.
Afler referring to * he fact that objeotlons
have been filed to the probating ot the will ,
the reasons for the opposition to the ap
pointment of Mr. Puscy as special ndmln-
iBtralor arc set forth. It Is recited that
Mr. Pusey was the active executor of the
estalo of .the . lalo Samuel M. Italian ! , and
*
that for more than ten years past has had
the solo and exclusive management of ald
osttUo ; that as such executor lie was empowered -
powered to assume the management and
control of a large residue of real estate
belonging to such estate and to rant the
same and to collect the rent and profits
and to sell the same In his discretion ; that
by the terms of the will of Samuel Ballard
the executors were empowered to pay over
to Sarah J. Ballard the net rents and profits
and proceeds of sale from the residue of real
cstato during her llfellmc , and to pay over
lo the parties filing these objections nmd
othcis all of said rent , profits and proceeds
not turned over to Mrs. Hallard during her
lifetime.
The allegation Is made that Mr. Pueey , In
his capacity as executor of Mr. Ballard's
will , has allowed part of the real cstato lo
be sold for taxes and lo bo lost lo the es-
itato ; that he has sold parts of the estate
at grossly Inadequate prices ; that from
about Iho year 18S5 down to the present tlmo
'he ' has rented portions of the real estale at
grossly Inadequate prices. In one Instance
It Is alleged that he rented Iho farm of 718
acres known ns 'tbo Marne farm , in Cass
county , at an average rental for the last
twelve years of less 'than ' $1.50 an aero ; that
whereas the reasonable rental of this farm
for itho eleven years last past would have
been nt least $21,000 , Mr. Pusey has real-
led but $12,000 thereon , and that he used
the rent extravagantly In the payments of
alleged Improvements , and , according to
his report , filed January 9 of this year ,
ho turned over rte Mrs. Ballard from such
rents only about $5,000.
The further allegation IB made that the
parties filing the objections have reason to
believe that Mr. Puscy has received and
converted to his own use a largo amount of
money arising from the estate of the late
Samuel Jr. Uallard nnd belonging to the
Sarah J. Ballard estate , and that ho is now
Indebted 'to the Sarah J. Hallard estate In
the sum of at least $10,000. The allegation
Is also made that Mr. Pusey Is Indebted to
the said Sarah J. Ballard estate In an amount
over $10,000 for property of hers coming Into
his hands and not accounted for.
With regard to the bequests lo the
Woman's Christian association hospital , the
allegation is made that thirty days prior
to 'tho execution by Mrs. Ballard of her
will Mr. Pusey by undue Influence Induced
her to glvo away about $40.000 of her prop
erly lo strangers , and induced her to exe
cute a deed of trust , making his brother ,
W. II. M. Pusey , Hie solo IniRtce , and giv
ing him full nnlhorlly lo expend said trust
fund without- the supervision of any courl ;
that at the time Mrs. Ballard made such
'trust ' deeds She was In a weak amd fccbl
stale of mind nnd body and incapable of
transacting sucli Important business and that
she had not the mental capacity at the time
to understand the nature of the transaction.
The claim Is made that unless those trust
deeds bo set aside and canceled , the parties
flllng these objections will bo deprived of
a large amount of property wtilch should
rightfully como to them as hclrs-at-law and
legatees.
N. M. Pusey , when seen after the papers
ihad been filed In court , said : "I deny abso
lutely every allegation In the objections ex
cept the statement ns 'to ' the relationship of
the parties to Mrs. Hallard and Dr. Ballard ,
and except ns to the slatcment lhat I was
the oxeculor of the estate of the late Shmuel
M. Ballard. The moment these objections
were tiled In court this morning I called
the attention of Iho court to them , and I
announced that I was ready and willing nt
once and without-any delay to proceed with
their Investigation. Mr. Benjamin , their at
torney , however , stated ho was not ready
to go on , and asked for further time. "

glvo you a chance to gel ono In a very
simple way. What Is more , It Is going to
let you pick out any make wheel you want ,
for it knows you nil wnnt n certain make ,
"which Is the only make on earth. "
Now let us tell you how The Ueo la going
to giveIho wheels away. Wo want n lot of
new subscribers to The Dec In Council
Bluffs. As soon ns the first 300 orders have
been handed Into our olllco , the first con
test closes nnd wo will award the wheel lethe
the one bringing the most orders out ot
this 300. Then Contest No. 1 closes and Con
test No. 2 opens on the next 300 orders.
Just see how easy this IB. Say only thirty
girls and boys start out on March 1 to get
subscribers. They only have to average ten
apiece to make the total , so the winner will
not have to get very many orders , you see.
You want lo starl In early nud hand In your
orders as soon ns possible.
Now about the orders. Each order must
he for an actual now Council Bluffs sub
scriber. Each subscriber must take The Bus
for nt least three weeks nnd pay for It In
order to bo counled. It Is heller , but not
necessary , to pay In advance , only no order
will bo counted until the subscription IB
paid for. If the subscription is paid for In
advance II will count ono on your score for
each three woelcs for wnlch It Is prepaid.
For example : It a subscriber pays In ad
vance for six weeks , It counts two ; If he
pays for twelve weeks , It will count four ;
If bo pays for one year , It will count seven
teen. On orders which are not paid In ad
vance It will count only ono on your score
no mailer how long ho cotitlnuets to lake It.
There , that Is plain , Isn't it ? Now see
what you can do. The first contest begins
March 1. Sincerely yours ,
