Secured By Intimidation.
DESIRES A RE-HEARING.
MONEY TO LOAN By THE DYER
ESTATE EXECUTORS.
Petition in the Snedeker Estate
Account Rendered BY the Execu-
tors of Thomas FentOn-Estate of
William and Catherine Brighton.

Readers of The Herald are familiar
with the case of Allen Hilton, who
was taken before the probate court
when Judge Blair presided and a
guardian appointed. This action was
the result of a petition by the heirs of
Hilton, who alleged that he was sub
ject to spells of temporary insanity
and was not a fit and proper person to
take care of his property At the time
Hilton made no objections.
But of late he has changed his mind
and now says that he is able to ala
tend TO his own matters.
Yesterday Hilton, by his attorneys,
Zane & Zane, filed in the office of the
probate clerk a petition setting up that
he was proceeded against in the man
ner and form set forth as above, and
that by threats and inducements he was
kept from making objections to the &C
ton; that on February Is one Orlando
G. Beebe was appointed guardian of
his estate; that at that time there was
no order or adjudication made to the
effect that he was insane or unable to
manage. his own affairs. Hilton re-
cites that the guardian in the case has
treated him very badly; that he has
denied him money for his most trivial
expenses; has even refused to allow
him the cash necessary to obtain a
ride on the street cars. He seeks to
regain possession of his property,
which is alleged to have been taken
from him by fraud, and asks that the
court set aside the order made by the
former judge of the probate court ana
restore him to all his rights in TIE
premises.
The hearing in the matter was set
down for May Is.
Elizabeth Snedeker applies for let
tiers of administration on the estate of
her husband, who died in Mill Creek
on Jan. 10, leaving property to the
value of $500 as regards personal eff
fects and realty to the amount and
value of $500. The hearing on the
petition was fixed for May II.
The heirs of Catherine and William
S. Brighton, who died leaving prop
erty to the extent of $4,000 have uni
ted in asking the court to appoint ].
H. Moyle administrator, and the case
will come up on May II.
In the estate of Thomas Fenton the
account of the executors was filed for
approval. The account shows a bal
ance above all expenses for the year of
$19S.21. This sum was derived from
the revenues of the estate. The avail
time, including the amount mentioned,
is $S,00S.71.
Thirty days time was allowed in the
estate of Henry Alberto Woolley to
file inventory and appraisement.
The executors of the estate of Frank
H. Dyer, who were authorized by the
probate court to loan $4,000 in the
funds of the estate, which have ac-
cumulated, yesterday filed with the
aln l1of~ Of v,I
for instruction in the matter. There
are several bids. the first of which is
from Oscar Young, who offers to take
s., 400 of the fund at per cent for the
term of two years, the security to be
given consisting of certain property in
Provo, on J street, north Of the First
National bank.
Sarah Husbands wants from $4,000 to
$500 and offers as security a piece of
property in this city. on West Second
South street. 66X165 feet.
F. J. Heath as security for ZOO of
the money offers 3.44 acres on Ninth
East between Eleventh and Twelfth
South.
E. L. Sheets put in an offer to take
all the fund for six months, giving as
security for the loan a lot of stock in
the Bullion-Beck mine.
Henry w. Lawrence offered to take
the whole lot for two years at 61s per
cent, the security to be a lot of ground
situated on the corner of First South
and West Temple streets.
In the petition accompanying the
bids the executors say that they favor
loaning the money all in one piece and
that they are in favor of loaning to Mr..
Lawrence, provided the amount of the
security is increased. They do not
consider that the offer of the Bullion
Beck stock by Mr.. Sheets is sufficient
at 81 per share to justify them in loan
ing him the cash. Not that the stock
is not worth all that it is listed at,
perhaps more; but it is asserted that
this kind of security is not what the
estate should hold. The petition and
offers will come up at a later day.
In the matters connected with the
other business of the same estate. May
Is was set as the day for hearing the
account of the executors.
