The Ballard estate gives promise of
an early settlement among the many
heirs without further litigation. Pur-
suant to an agreement the Court APP
dointed board of arbitration, or three
referees to divide the property. The
greater part of the estate is situated in
the south part of Audi bon county and
the northern part of Cass county, there
being thirtyfour hundred acres in a
body. Chas. VanGorder, Theo. f.
Morrow and Nels p. Hoegh are the
referees appointed by the court Owing
to the large amount of property to be
divided. The position of referee is of
importance to all interested, but three

the estate can rest assured that the indi-
vidual rights of each will be carefully
guarded and the amount allotted to
each will be granted with candor and
fairness.
