One Of the Largest Estates Ever Pro-
bated In This County.
Tuesday Judge Holm heard the
petition to admit the will Of Ward w.
Swift, Of Minneapolis, to probate.
The petitioner, Frederick FL. Swift,
was represented by Frank NJ. Nye,
the famous Minneapolis lawyer. Ed
ward B. Clements, Of Minneapolis,
was present as witness to the will.
The will was made in 1896 and the
testator, after leaving small sums to
two Of his children, bequeaths the
residue of his estate to his son, Fred
erick 81. The estate amounts to in
the neighborhood Of $36, 900, being
one Of the largest ever handled by
the probate court Of this county.
Mr.. Swift owned about l ,250 acres of
land in the neighborhood of Argyle,
at which town he made his headquar-
ters while in this part of the state.
His home was in Minneapolis, where
he also has some holdings. The date
for the hearing of claims has not been
set as yet, neither has an administra-
tor been appointed, but the supposi-
ton is that the son, who is practically
the sole legatee, viii have charge Of
lthe closing up Of the affairs Of his
father.
A Quick Turn.
From Fridays Daily.
Yesterday morning one of our
neighboring farmers concluded that
he would handle a nice little pile Of
cash to better advantage than he
could hundred and sixty acre farm,
and forthwith hunted..up L. Lamber-
son, to whom he unfolded his mind.
Mr.. Lambersons for. moment
scratched that portion Of his craniums
from which the activity of his brain
in the interest of Marshall county,
has crowded off the hair, and told the
gentleman to prepare to move. In
side of an hour all the preliminaries
for the transfer Of the farm to Mrs.
Emma Frazer, of Iowa, had been
made, and this morning our farmer
friend cashed a check for all the
money he asked for his farm.
Mrs. Frazer's brother, whose name
we could not secure, has contracted
for the purchase of the farm adjoin-
ling the one purchased by his sister,
and will close the deal in a day
or two.
