things about Mr.. Z. c. Kennedy.

was married to Mrs. Eva N. Poe.
widow with FIVE children, whose ages
now run from TO l6 years. Mrs. Poe
was formerly Miss Slower, and her peo-
ule live in this county. She recently
cied and left a valuable farm near Paw
nee. in Oklahoma, and the question arose
as 10 what interest the children had IN
the farm Some claimed that Mr.. Ken
nedv had a life interest. and others that
under the Jaws of Oklahoma he could
claim but one-third Of the farm.
An application was yesterday filed in
the probate court 10 have guardian
appointed 10 look out for the interest OF
The children. When that was done Mr..
Kennedy went into the probate court and
told Judge Wilson that il was his desire
that the children should have the farm
that had belonged 10 their mother. lie
said he could rustic for his own living,
while the children could not. He there
upon made out quit claim deed to the
property and handed It over TO Judge

Judge Wilson said It was an easy way
out of the difficulty, and he was very
much pleased with the arrangement He
thought II was not every man who would
have settled the matter so favorably for
the children as did Mr. Kennedy.
