Inc chronicle this morning prints an inter
view with one of the attorneys for the trus.
tees of the Lick estate relative to the recent
application of John Fl. Lick for letters of
administration on his late fathers estate
The attorney said the proceeding was per-
fectly right and proper, as Lick was the only
person entitled to letters on his fathers es
tate; that the granting of letters might be
contested, but he thought it hardly probable,
and said the only fight the plaintiff could
make would be to attempt to prove his
father insane when he made the deed, and it
was hardly within the limits of probability
that this could be proved, as for thirty years
it had been Mr.. Lick's avowed purpose to
dispose of his property as he finally did.
The trustees will combat to the bitter end
any attempt to dispossess the beneficiaries
by deed of trust of their dues, and unless
MIR. Lick proposes some compromise which
the trustees can honorably accept, great
litigation will undoubtedly ensue. Mr..
Krebs, nephew of James Lick, speaking for
John H. Lick, said the petition for letters
meant fight. 1t might be that some of Mr..
Lick's estate is not covered by the deed of
trust. in which Mr.. Lick will of course oh.
tain 1t.
