GOV. g. G. wAsHBURN's WILL.
All of 1ts Provisions Confirmed by the
Snpreme COurt of Minnesotn.

A final decision has been reached la the
long contest over the will of the late Gov. @.
@. Washburn Of Wisconsin, the Supreme
Court Of Minnesota agreeing with that of Wis
consin and affirming the decision Of the Hen
nepin County District Court. This leaves the
will intact, secures to the widow tho provision
made for her through the executors, and con-
firms the legacies and requests MADE by Gov.
Washburn. The main ground of the decision
is that the decision of the Wisconsin court,
acting for the widow, in accepting the will in
lieu of dover, was proper and legal and estop-
ped the subsequent claim Of her guardian. The
will gave the executors the right to use all
moneys necessary for the comfort OF the
widow, and did not stipulate any amount.
According to the law, the widow can accept
the provisions of the will or insist upon her
right OF dover in one-third of the property.
Gov. Washburn owing property in Wisconsin
and Minnesota, the case came up in the courts
Of both States. The widow being insane, the
supreme Court OF Wisconsin decided that she
should accept the provisions Of the will. Her
guardian, George X. Chase, took exception to
the right of the Court to make the choice for
the widow, aud insisted that the right Of
dover be enforced and one-third the estate be
given TO her. The same question was raised
in the Hennepin County Probate Court which
decided that the widow was entitled to both
tire legal dover and the provision ma ie in the
will This the District Court of Hennepin
county overruled, and decided that che take
the allowance and not the real estate. The
decisions of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and
of the Hennepin County District Court are up
held by this last decision Of the Supreme
Court of Minnesota.
The will devises to Mrs. Washburn moneys
necessary for her support, placing no limit
thereon. Seven hundred dollars a year Is be-
queathed to each OF his daughters, Jeannetts
and Fanny. Requests are made to Mr. Israel
Washburn and his daughters and to all his
nephews and nieces, from 81 900 to $1,000 each
for five years. The will also bequeaths $780,
600 to an orphan asylum near Minneapolis,
$4,000 to the public library in the city ef La
Crosse, and $4,000 in trust for Samuel II. 8.
Nevins of La Crosse. The value OF the Mime
sofa property disposed Of by the will is estim-
ated at 100000. The Wisconsin property is
much larger
