sTRATToN SUITS PLANNED.
A Scheme to "Promoter the Million
aires Estate.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. 30
The suit of the Venture Company, of
London, which paid w. S. Stratton $10,-
100000 for the Independence mine,
threatens to make an ugly complication
in settling the estate. II will be alleged
that the mine was sailed just before
Expert Richard examined it for the
Venture Company, and the company
will allege that the sailing made diff
terence of $4,O0O,O0O IN the apparent
value of the property.
1t is now rumored that two suits are
being prepared by alleged common-law
wives of Stratton, both for large por-
ton of the estate. These and the all
legged option on the Brown Palace Hotel
will add to the legal difficulties.
Interest here in the fight over the
Stratton will is growing hourly, and the
charge is now freely made by those who
are presumed to have inside informa
ton that the contest is backed by a
number of spectators. who have
the fight and share proportionately in
the profits of the estate. These ex-
penses include guarantee to young
Stratton of the 100000 conditionally
beaueathed to him by his father.
Several prominent business men are
said to have been approached by repre-
sentatives of the alleged syndicate with
suggestion that they aid in forming
pool to contest the Stratton will.
There was no chance to lose, it was ar
gued, as the fees of the administrators
TO be appointed would more than pay
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1902-10-01

back the money invested. Should the
will be broken, however, it was repre-
sented, there would be big profits in 1t
for all concerned, as young Stratton
had given assurance that he would be
content with 100000 for his share.
Among those who were approached
on the subject, but who refused to have
anything to do with the promotion,
were A. Sutton, of the First National
Bank; James Burns, president of the
Portland Gold Mining Company; C. w.
several of STATIONS largest deals, and
w. A. Ramsey, once Strattons private
secretary and confidential agent.
There has been a complete reaction
II, public sentiment stree the appoint
ment of the administrators and the re-
vealing of the alleged scheme to PRO
mote" the estate. Men who were loudest
in their condemnation of the will now
want it to stand. The specter of the
national poor house" has been forgot
ten in the fear Of this new danger OF
organized raids upon dead mems es-
tates.
AT the Pixies Peak Clubsone wealthy
property owner echoed the prevailing
sentiment among the members when he
said: Il hope I don't die until there
has been change in the probate laws"
The administrators will appear in the
county court today to answer the
charge of contempt in not turning the
property over to the executors.
