Mrs. Mccain, On the advice of her at
torney, Albert r Davis. applied for letters
OF administration. The application was
objected to, as it was claimed she was not

the estate yesterday afternoon. A visit to
tho Merchants Laclede Bank showed that

possession when he met harrington and
presented $50 bill to him.

that McCann's estate is worth In cash.
Furniture and appointments at the Le-
land, No. 2sOl Franklin avenue, may bring
the assets up to $500. Much of the fur
niture. however. is claimed by Mrs Nc
Cam as her own personal property.
