LANDS WON'T SELL
Say Alexander Montgom-
ery's Executors.
Their First Annual Account Shows
but a Small Portion of the
Estate Realized.

The first annual report upon the estate
of Alexander Montgomery, the deceased
capita list, was filed with the County Clerk
yesterday by the executors, W. F. Goad
and A. W. Forster.
The report shows that all debts against
the estate that have been allowed have
been paid; also that all claims that were
presented have been allowed except that
presented by Leota Gutierrez and Candida
Gutierrez. 1t is observed. however, that
this claim is a contingent one, and that
the maximum amount of money sought to
be recovered Hereunder amounts to only
$500. The executors have this claim at
present under advisement.
With regard 10 the legacy of $500, 900 be-
queathed by Montgomery 10 his widow.
Elizabeth A. Montgomery, The executors
say that they have not yet been able to
realize sufficient funds from the estate to
enable them to satisfy this legacy. After
settling all claims, paying Mrs. Montgom-
eTy's family allowance, and making such
disbursements as were necessary for the
administration of the estate, they find
themselves with S149,SS7 rs cash On hand.
The executors attribute their inability
to realize upon the property to the present
stringency IN the money market and to
the general depreciation in value of most
lands in most counties. Mr.. Montgomery
owned large real property all over the
State. Mrs. Montgomery has not yet ap-
piled for any order of distribution, and il
is not likely that she will do so just yet
The executors therefore see 10 objection
to their accounts being settled and 10 their
carrying their cash balance on into next
year.
A table OF total receipts follows the
opening statement. Cash eceived from
the special admins tration is given at
500, 400 90; notes due the estate and paid,

very large notes, among which may be
