NOW ON TRIAL.
frs. AZeIIa r. Smiths Suit Against
Hubbard & Palmer and Geo. Barr,
An important Action With SIS, 900 to
100000 Involved.

The trial of the suit Of Azella f
Smith, Azella M. Smith, Florence Nj
Smith and Azella +. Smith as admin
istratrix Of the estate Of P. A. Foster
deceased, VS.. Geo. r. Barr, r. d. Hub
bard and Geo. NJ. Palmer, to recover
several Thousand acres of land in Mar
tin, Yellow Medicine, Redwood, Jack
son and Renville counties, OF
their equivalent in money, was
began before Judge Severance in
chambers this forenoon. The value
of the property sought to be recovered
is estimated at from $4,000 to $780,
600. VIM. A. Funk, Benedict & Fit
tie and w. r. Geddes are attorneys
for Mrs. Smith, and Lorin Cray ap-
pears for Hubbard & Palmer, and
Pau & Pau for Geo. t. Barr.
The action is one to void the pro-
bate proceedings in regard to the eS-
tate of the late Penfield a. Foster,
consisting Of $50 acres of land in
Martin county, $50 in Yellow Medi-
cine, 1885 in Redwood, 1852 in Jackson,
and 400 acres in Renville county, pur-
chased or bargained for from S. w.
Rawson. Mr.. Foster died June Doth,
1890, and Mr.. Barr was appointed adj
ministrator of his estate.
The complaint alleges that Mr.. Barr
advertised the sale of the lands for
April %, 1891, but afterwards made
the sale on April 9, 1901, selling the
land in bulk to Hubbard & Palmer for
SS,S75. The plaintiffs claim that the
money paid was grossly dispropor-
tionate to the real value of the land
and that this was well known to all of
the defendants. The complaint al
leges fraud on the part of the
defendants and conspiracy to defraud
the heirs of Mr.. Foster, in advancing
the sale day and letting the land 60
at the price paid. 1t is alleged that
the various proceedings of the probate
court were not legally taken. The
plaintiffs ask that the pretended sale
be declared null and void, that Hub
bard & Palmer be required to recon.
vey to plaintiff all of said lands which
have not been since sold, and that
they render account and be ordered
to pay to plaintiff the profit which
they have made on the lands sold.
The defendants deny the charges of
conspiracy and fraud, and say that
the sale was considered good one at
the time.
A large part of the day was taken
up in introducing probate records,
which were finally admitted without
objection on the part Of the defen-
dants. The case will be hard
faught,one. A number of witnesses are
to be examined.
