Harlan, Jan. Sword was received at
Harlan today that on the application of
members of the family of Patrick Lane
To the district court at Council Bluffs.
Mr.. o. p. Wyland, of this place, had
been appointed CONSERVATION for the es-
tate of Mr.. Lane, he having been de-
clared of unsound mind and not capa-
BILE of attending to his own business.
according to the report this action was
taken without the knowledge of Mr.
Lane, no notice having been served on
him, and with the information at hand
at present his friends here think that
1T looks very much like a conspiracy on
the part of some one to get an interest
In Mr.. Lane estate.
Patrick Lane has been separated from
his family for some years and a few
years ago his wife made application to
the court for a divorce and d division OF
The property The court awarded her
the divorce as prayed and SIS, GOO as her
share of the estate. Mr.. Lane is about
ST. years old and is rather an eccentric
cid gentleman, but perfectly capable OF
looking after his own affairs. In fact,
Nv his shrewdness he has accumulated a
fortune of no mean proportions. Mr..
Lanes friends say there Is "a Niger IN
the wood pile and that if the matter is
pressed there will be hard-fought ie-
gal contest before the matter IS settled
