Ogden, April %.
UNIQUE COURT CASE At OGDEN
PARTIES ALL AGREED, BUT LAW
STANDS IN THE WAY.
Will Pretty Annie Hansen Inherit
Anders F. Hansen's Estate, or
Will It Revert to the State?

The case of Jasper Jesperson ct al.
VS.. James Nielsen ct al. was heard
yesterday by Judge Rolapp. The story
involves an estate in Huntsville valued
at several thousand dollars and has
some interesting phases. Nearly all the
parties interested. plaintiffs and de-
PENDANTS included, agree on how the eS-
tate should be disposed Of and the only
question is whether the law will permit
such distribution. The owner of the
estate, in his lifetime, wished it to go
to young girl now about 16, whom he
raised as his own daughter, but failed
legally to adopt. Her name is Annie
Jeseerson. She is the daughter of the
plaintiff.
Her mother died a few days after
the birth of the little daughter, and
the father, to provide for the mother
less babe, consented that she be adopt
ed by Mr.. and Mrs. Anders F. Hansen,
a well-tO-do couple without children.
The little one was reared by them and
civ en- their name. In the temple at Salt
Lake she was sealed to them as their
daughter for this world and the next.
Before his death Hansen signed an
acknowledgement before Justice Nc
Kay saying that ne recognized the girl
as his daughter and wanted to leave
her all his property. But though all
these affairs showed clearly the intent
Of the testator it was not the legal way
to adopt an heir. An administrator
was appointed, James Nelson being the
man. The administrator is willing to
give up the property if the court will
permit and there are no other claim
ants. However as the estate involves
the title to real estate it is a question
