Gibb Smith to act as trustee to effect a settlemen for all concerned. The latest phase of the case promises to bring the matter to the supreme court for adjustment.

They object to the form of a judgment to be entered. They want the names of all the creditors to appear on the judg- ment instead of J. Gibb Smith as trus- tee. A mtoion is to be made at the short calendar session in the superior court to-day to have this carried out. A contest seems probable.

THE WADDINGHAM ESTATE.

Applicat ton has been made to the probate court by the executors on the estate of the late Wilson Wadding- ham of West Haven for an order rati- flying the action of Executor Ezekiel G. Stoddard in borrowing the sum of $23, ,000 to retire notes contracted by MT Waddingham before his death.
 At the time of his death MT. Wad- dingham owed the Red River Valley company $140,450, and S73S,000 in the New Mexico Land and Irrigation com pany was held as security. The money was borrowed by MT. Stoddard to re- lease this security and thereby effect reorganization of the Red River Val ley company. It is believed that the reorganization will result in a consider able addition to the value of the Wad dingham estate.
 Attorneys Henry Stoddard and c. K. Bush representing interests of the Waddingham heirs appeared in court but did not raise any objections to the ratification of the action taken by Ex- ecutor Stoddard and it is likely that the order for the ratification will be issued, The court did not take. action on the matter, but adjourned the hear ing for one week.
