WHAT THE HEIRS WILL RECEIVE.
The LAWYERS on both sides in the stewart will case
busted themselves yesterday with other subjects than
the disposition Of the stewart estate No one of them
cared to talk about the All, however, seemed
to be well satisfied with the manner in which this
most complicated suit had been settled. 1t was
understood on Thursday that the suit OF Prescott
Hall Butler had been set aside. were the suits IN
the Surrogatcs Court This error, but In
future in place Of being unfrcndy suit, VIII be
an amcablc one in the line of a partition SUIT
All the residuary half OF the property left to the
cgatecs IS in bulk and one Of them knows Just
what each one owns. The attorney for Prescott Hall
Butler will conduct what is termed remodeled suit
It Will probably take some three or four months 70
get th, amended suit through the courts. In the
meantime about three week, will be consumed in per-
fcctng the transfers already made under the formal
agreement Ina,much as transfers and titles have
been accepted from ex-Judge Hilton the validity OF
the will cannot be attacked from any direction Inc
accounts Of receipts and disbursements by him up to
July /, l--0, also accepted by the heirs. IL Is
thought that there will be something Ike $lj,0O0OOO
yet to be divided in accordance with the Will. Con
siderable care, judgment and skill must be used to
dispose OF the property in the best manner. To sell
il in a lump would undoubtedly tend to decrease the
value materially. In the first place. there are 200
acres Of land at Garden City, which, it is estimated
II sold judciously Will make a return Of something
like - 100000.
From the other 1t IS expected that at least
enough can be realized to push the total amount
up to the specified 100000 notch. From th,
,um however there must be de uctcd certain aroant'
