ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. Aug. GA suit for the
division of the Burnes family estate, esti-
mated to be worth between s1o,0O00oo and
81, ,000, 900, has been filed here by Mary B.
Moore, one of the heirs, wife of Gen. Mil
ton Moore of Kansas City. A receiver is
also asked for the estate, of which Lewis

st. Joseph, is administrator. Mrs. Moore
claims one-seventh of about one-third of
the estate, which covers valuable property
IN st. Louis. st. Joseph and Joplin, Mo-, and
Leavenworth and Atchison, Kan. The
suit charges Burnes with Withholding the
books and refusing to permit an investiga-
tion of the affairs of the estate. Among
the old defendants is Elias Catch, manager
of the famous CRANKY mine in the Joplin
district, valued at S5000,000.
The Burnes family has been prominent
in northwest Missouri since pioneer days.
Three of the five brothers-Daniel D., j.
n. (who became a member of CongreSS)
and Calvin F.-controlled the commercial
and political destinies OF that part of the
State for many years. They located at
Weston, Mo, and became rich through
merchandising, and when Weston became
decadent removed to st. Joseph, where they
engaged in banking and other commercial
enterprises. Much Of their earnings were
invested in lands. and to-day the estate is
one of the largest in Missouri.
