Petition Is Filed for its Admission to
Probate.

Colorado Springs. Sept. 24.-County
Judge Orr yesterday fixed Saturday,
October 4th, at 10 o'clock, as the date
for hearing the application to probate
the will of the late w. s. Stratton, upon
petition Of the executors. The estate
is appraised by the executors at only
$5,0O0,OOO. This is understood to be
legal formality only, and by no means
represents the true value of the prop
erty. The petition will come up for
hearing at the time set, unless a con-
tinuance should he asked and granted.
DIR. D. II. Rice, one Of the executors
this morning gave out the first state
ment regarding the Will and Its effect
on the community. He expressed his
surprise that there should exist any diff
ference of opinion as to the value Of the
proposed home in the Springs, and de
clared 1t MS his Judgment that the In
stitution would prove a great blessing
to the poor, and be a good thing for
the city and state.
