STATE TAKES AN APPEAL.
Appointment Of Administrator for
Sullivan Estate Goes Into the
supreme Court.

T.. r. Litteil, recently appointed admin
istrator of the estate of John Sullivan,
deceased, will have to appear In the SUI
preme court and defend his appointment
Attorney General Thomas NJ. Vance yes
terday fled In the probate court a notice
of appeal on behalf of the state OF Wash
tngton.
At the time the appointment OF Mr.. Lit
tell was made the state appeared, asking
for the right 10 administer the estate
This action was taken on the ground that
no heirs had been found and In time the
property would revert to the state. Judge
Moore decided, however. that the parties
represented by Mr.. Litteil had more OF an
interest In the estate. and accordingly APP
pointed him guardian. There was a gen
erAl belief that some contest would arise
as the estate II very valuable. The mat.
ter will be- heard on the appeal probably
