Mrs. George N. Pullman has de.

in the estate of her husband instead
of abiding by the terms of the will.
According to the will she was given
$4,000 in cash, the homestead in
Chicago and the income from ST.

revert to the estate after her death.
Her acceptance Of the will would

Webb, well known corporation lawyer
states that there will be trouble from

which in substance calls for at least three
directors of railroads and that the MAORI.

who are: Charles d. Haines, Stephen d.

Maine water Company and wa,ervil1e

Waterville, August 6.-The Kennebec
county commissioners today denied the
petition for warrant of distress to W..
B. Arnold and Sarah Furnish of this city
in the case with the Maine Water com
pany. About year ago the Maine Water
company deeming a certain water privi-
lege of the Messalonskee stream of Water
vile indispensable to their plant, got the
county commissioners to condemn the
property to their use, which was done and
$7750 was decreed by the commissioners as
a fair price to W. B. Arnold and Sarah
Kurdish. The price did not suit the
Maine Water company and after putting
up power house within 10 feet of
privilege refused to take the property.
The property owners now claim that the
company is using and diverting the water
of the stream and but for the extremely
wet season there would not be enough
water for the local supply. The case will
not end with this decision.
