Frank Britton yesterday petitioned
the court to revoke the special letters
of administration issued to j. p. Collins
in the estate of A. c. White, deceased.
Britton is named in the will as executor
but the special administrator was APP
pointed upon a contest being instituted
by Rose White. widow of the deceased.

why the special letters should be re-
voked and why he should be Amounted
executor. He was in charge of Whites
business during his life time and says
the total value of the estate does not
exceed $4,000 and there are $3.50 in
legal claims against it. 1t will cost $500
to carry out the terms of the will and
the widow was left legacy of $500,
! Britton being given the residue in pay
ment of money due him for services.
He believes he is better able to continue
the business and collect accounts than
a stranger would be.
