sEMRoW ESTATE SETTLED.
Some hard Feeling Because the Case

Some Hard Feeling Because the Case
Was Not Thoroughly Understood.
The John Semrow estate, as far as Mr.
Semrow himself is concerned, was settled
in the probate court to-day, In justice to
Thomas H. Hayes, the trustee, and to the
probate court, it is better that people I'M
derstood how many were led into error.
In the first place the CLAIM was made
by fellow Pythians of Semrow that there
was an unnecessary delay in settling up
the estate; that Semrow should be paid
800 as the law dictates. Attorney Ken
drick, who sent the notice to the probate
court in behalf of some of the members of
of the X. of P, neglected to look over the
assignment paper or he would have seen
that it was stated that MIR Semrow had
reserved 800. When it was learned that
Mr. Semrcw had not reserved this 500
the court decided that owing to his mis-
fortune, it would be allowed in any case.
There was not enough money in the
estate to meet the allowed claims and con-
consequently the 500 was not paid over
by the trustee at the beck and call of any
one. Mr. Hayes advertised that ring
and watch of the insolvent debtor would
be sold at auction in the probate court
| to- day. As consequence many members
of the h. of =. were present. The trustee
said he had an outside bid of S35 on the
ring and SIS on the watch. This was
objected to by these members, but allowed
by the court. as it was just and proper.
| The ring was then bid in for $3S and the
watch for $3.50. Mr. Hayes said he did
not care how much over the bid was offered.
Mr. Semrow was then asked if he had any
money when he assigned. He said that he
| had only So. 1t was found then that he
had also $50 paid him by debtor while
I 4, AI.a
fees of trustee, commissioners, appraisers
and court and if the trustee or court bad
willed it would be found that there was
not enough to pay Mr. Semrow 800.
Judge Lowe, however, threw off his fees,
amounting to over $50 and MIR Hayes paid
over to Mr. Semrow $50. This ended the
case in which considerable feeling was
stirred up because the whole of the case
was not carefully studied.
