Dr. winslow left six children. To each OF
them he left $40 IN cash TO be expended on some

he figured would amount to about $4,000 a year,
was to be equally divided between his two

badly performed and a lot OF his charred bones
were carried away by relic hunters.
In all probability the attorneys in the case will
set an investigation on foot and ask for an ac-
counting from those in charge of the estate.
The estate IL now greatly enhanced in value.
