In Probate Court.

The hea7ing on the last will and
testament of the late Osten Larson, of
Lake Andrew, came up before Judge
Nordin on the 10th inst. 1t may Be
remembered that when the will uaa
first brought before the Judge he de-
cided that the will had not been legally
executed and issued an order for hear
ing on appointment of administrator
On the day of hearing protest was fled
against this proceeding and the Judge
ordered hearing on the will. WAS
proved that the witnesses had 1oe
signed the will in the presence Of Lar
son, nor had the will been shown to
him after being signed. The will was
therefore set aside and new order
for hearing on appointment of admin
istrator made. This will give Mrs.
Larson ownership In fee simple of 200
acres of land instead of only q life in
terest as under the will.

when a motion to this effect was passed
by decisive vote. A few years ago
such motion would have been buried.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Dec. l5.-The
contest over the $l7,UOo,OOO estate d
the late Henry Bradley Plant, the
southern railroad and steamship mag
nate, is probaly at an end, the case
coming up Tor final hearing before
Judge Cleaveland here today. The will
OF Mr.. Plant, who died in 1899, provld-
ed an annuity for Charles b. Hoad-
ley and Horace q. Hoadley OF Water
bury. When the executors won the
New York courts approval OF the
claim, that Mr.. Plant was a resident
OF that state they placed with a trust
company a fund to secure the payment
of the annuity to the Hoadleys. Con-
test was brought by the latter in Con-
necticut to prevent the further removal
of the estate and also a suit wat
brought praying for the removal OF
the executors ON the ground that they
were acting illegally. Today's hearing
was on a petition tiled by the Hoadleys
asking that the proceedings in this
state be made ancillary to those in
New York, which action indicates that
q settlement has been effected, and
that the suits brought by the Hoadleys
will not be pressed.
