In addition to this claim Zimminski
also had another against the estate,
involving the value of a horse he said

$50 was in satisfaction of the claim
for the horse.
H. A. Firth represented the admins.
tratrix in both instances and it was
due greatly to his diplomacy that the
matter was so easily disposed of.
