IMPORTANT PROBATE DECISION.
Montana Judge Rules That Admins
traitor Must Divide Profits of Estate.

HELENA, Dec. Especial. Judge Buck, of
the district court, today rendered a decision
which, ii 1t stands the test of the supreme
court will cost William A. Chessman at least
$4,000 The suit was in the nature of an OBJ
lection TO the accounts OF Chessman as executor
of the estate of j. C. Kicker, who died In 1875,
leaving widow, four children and a considera-
bic fortune At that time Chessman was a poor
man. Today no is worth fully S750,OO0
The contention was that he made this
fortune largely from the use OF the
funds of the Kicker estate The decision is
that he was in effect a borrower from the estate,
and that he must pay on all moneys so borrowed
the highest rate of interest which the money
commanded, compounded annually. At that
time money was loaned by the banks at per
cent per month, and even more. The court
says tho evidence shows that Chessmau also
bought for $4,000 certain piece of real estate
with money belonging TO the estate The court
holds that he is a trustee in that piece of land
for the heirs of the Kicker estate to the extent
OF one-haH interest therein, and must account
therefor The land is worth s200, 900 today The
Interest that must be paid will foot up not less
than $1,000 Chcssman is proprietor of the

tains, which is the black bears principal
article of diet, was a failure this year, and
the animals were driven to the valleys for food.

wildcats he wants. The woods are full of them,
