DIVIDED EQUALLY
AMONG HIS CHILDREN.
MIR. j. j. Dnle's Widow Given Home
and $4,000 for Life.

The will Of the late J. J. Dale was
filed for record in the office of the
Ordinary yesterday morning. Provis-
ion is made for his widow during her
lifetime and the balance of the estate
is divided equally among the
children, Mrs. i. II. Nichols,
Mrs w. w. Osborne, Mrs. j. NJ.
Dixon, Mrs. NJ. w. Dixon, Mrs. w.
j. Lindsay, and Mrs. d. S. Prosser.
Upon the death of Mrs. Dale, the prop
erty left to her during her life viii
revert to the estate and be divided
equally among the children. Three be-
quests are made to charity.
The Bethesda Orphans Home, the
Abrahams Home, and the Savannah Fee
male orphan Asylum are each given
$500. Two special requests were al
so made. To his grandson, j. w.
Miechell Mr.. Dale, left fine gun that
he priced very highly, and to his
grandson, w. ]. Lindsay, Jr., he left
his gold watch and chain.
The Oglethorpe Savings and Trust
Company is made the executor of the
will, and temporary letters of admin
istration have been granted. The VIII
itself directs how the estate shall be
administered. f. D. Bloodworth Jor-
dan F. Brooks and Jacob S. Collins
in the will, which also provides that
each is to receive 500 for his serv-
ices.
The appraisers will value the estate
as soon as possible proba bly, to-day.
Mr.. Dale's keys have not yet been
turned over to the executor. This
will be done this morning, when Mayor
Myers, who is the highest officer in
the Oglethorpe Savings and Trust
Company, furnishes the widow with
a certified copy of the will.
The estate is variously estimated at
from 100000 to 100000. Mr.. Dale
was a man who kept MS affairs to
himself and no one can say, with au-
thority, just what he was worth at
the time of his death. His real estate
holdings alone amount to about $4,000,
and his bank stock amounts to be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 One who
was very close to Mr. Dale said yes
terday he thought the estate worth
anywhere from $4,000 to 100000, and
that 1t would probably go nearer the
latter figure.
The will provides that the estate be
wound up and divided at the expira-
ton of thirteen months The portion
that goes to the widow during her
life time is first to be set aside. It is
provided that she can select any one
Of the several houses that Mr.. Dale
owned as her home for the balance of
her life. She is also given bank stock,
the par value of which is $4,000 dur
ing life. This stock is divided among
eight banks, in blocks of fifty shares
each. 1t is all now considerably above
par. The widow will ne given only
the dividends from this stock.
Mr.. Dale's will was made in 1900
though it was republished in 1901, after
his second marriage. This was neces-
sary to make it valid, as under the
law the marriage of a testator re-
vokes a will. 1t is provided in the
will that the property be appraised
as soon as possible, and that all debts
be Immediately paid.

pany, who testified to the fact that
his company did not know that the
product was from government lands,
or that it had been Illegally taken.
After this testimony had been con-
cluded the argument of counsel be-
gan, special assistant to the attor-
ney general, Mr.. Leaken, opening for
the government. With the opening of

BURNING TROLLEY CAR
ATTRACTED A CROWD.

A street car with its motor afire
attracted a number of spectators on
Broughton street, near Bull yester-
day afternoon. For some cause that
the crew of the car couldn't explain
the motor burned out.
This fired the material with which
the wires are wrapped and it burned
for ten minutes, until some one sug-
gested that a bucket of water be
thrown on 1t. This was done and the
flames extinguished, after which the
car was taken to the shed.
