of the estate of his late wife, Mary A.

son who had contested the will, but

Isbell, who was represented by Attor-
ney E. P. Arvine, and bonds were fixed
at $4,000 E. w. Cooper and H. G. Bretz-
fielder were also appointed appraisers.

though the assets consist of some thirty
tracts of land, the sale and settlement
of which may prove so expensive as not
to leave balance sufficient to meet the
claims Attorneys Newton & Wells APP

THE BOENIG ASSIGNMENT.
The matter of the assigned estate
of Joseph Boenig, the saloonkeeper al
II Wall street. was again heard in
the probate court yesterday. Attorney
C. F. Bollmann appearing for the prin-
cipal creditors, whose claims will reach
between $4,000 and $4,000, and Philip
Pond, I'd, was present as trustee, Mr.
Pond said that upon investigation, he
had concluded that there was hardly
enough for the applicant to go into
bankruptcy with. Judge Cleavelan6
said it was a rather unique case bu
he had heard of somewhat similar
cases.
Mr.. Pond said that all the property
in sight was an old beer pump and e
wagon. Concerning some other prop
erty there was "a. question as to wheth
er it belonged to Boenig. There were
some book accounts, but they Were
practically valueless. He doubted i
the estate would amount to over $15
He believed there would be no use il
going ahead in the matter.
Judge Cleaveland safH that as thu
case had gone so far Mr.. Pond SHOULD
qualify as trustee and do the best h
could.
