The Supreme court today delivered an
opinion in the matter Of the appeal II

cree Of the Third district court in re-
fusing 20 allow her a homestead, and
one-third Of the personal property Of
the estate OF James 7. Little. deceased,
affirming the lower courts judgment
The record IN the case shows that
James T. Little died In this city In 1895,
leaving a will. The estate, az shown by
the inventory, consisted Of about S45 600
IN personal property, and $4,000 in real
estate Furthermore the estate was
solvent and free from debt

The question for decision was whether

by the decree and also whether she was
entitled 90 the homestead and the per-
