REQUEST FOR LIEN MAY
SETTLE M'KAY ESTATE
Dewey Hotel Company Be-
gins Proceedings.
TESTS VALIDITY OF DEED
Only Contention Relates to Property
Purchased by Deceased Short
Time Before His Death.

The proceedings begun by the Dewey
Hotel Company against Mrs. Mabel
Grace Mckay and others to have an al
legged claim for $12 2,S20.06 declared lien
against premises 1911 X Street north
west, will result in an early settlement
of the estate of Colonel Mckay, who, it
will be remembered. died July TO- at At
lantic City. Colonel Mckay left will,
but its provisions haye not yet been
made public.
The property 1911 X Street was pur-
chased by Colonel Mckay a short time
before his death. The title. however,
was vested in Joseph J. F. Klein. who
it is said, afterward executed an agree
ment, which transferred it to Colonel
Mckay. Later Mr. Klein made a deed
conveying the property to Mrs. Mckay.
The hotel company contends that at the
cuted the title to the property was not
vested in Mr.. Klein.
Daughters Made Defendants.
Mrs. Weidersheim and Mrs. Kneisly,
daughters of Colonel Mckay, are also
named as defendants in the proceedings
filed by the hotel company. From per-
sons in position to know it is stated
that the settlement of the ownership of
the X Street property will practically
settle the differences over the estate of
Colonel Mckay.
1t is said that before his death Colonel
Mckay gave his wife large number of
valuable stocks and bonds. comprising
practically all his estate, with the ex-
ception of the real estate owned by the
Dewey Hotel Company. 1t is further
said that an agreement has about been
reacred by which the Dewey Hotel Com
pany is to retain all the real estate in
its name, and Mrs. Mckay retain the
personal property.
The only matter upon which there is
any difference between the parties in
terested. it is said, is the disposition of
the X Street property. 1t is believed
that the proceedings filed Monday vir-
tually leave the settlement TO the court. |

latter, not suspccting that anything
was wrong, accompanied the supposed
general to the town hall. where Ala
vantics ordered the men of the fire de-
parlmcnt to join him. This motley
procession proceeded to the gendaI"n-
cry barracks. where Alavantics parallel
the gendarnes. Two of the latter, how
ever, escaped and apprised their com
mander. Captain Nikulics. The latter,
when he arrived ON the scene, called Oh
Alavantics to produce some
authority for his actions, whereul'on the
would-be revolutiOnist leader fired a re-
voIvpr at Captain NikolicS and slightly
wounded the latter. NikOlics prompt
ly shot and killed Aiavantics, whose fol
