who has been closely connected with
the matter for the past week stated
that it would be several days before
an exact statement could be made but
a careful estimate placed the amount
of the shortages in the different trust
funds as follows:
Ella A. Parker estate ;. ;. ;. ..$1S.000
Charles III. Sheaff estate -. :. $4,000
Kaiser Fund of Grant Estate ;. 1000
Oakdale cemetery 1900
Hiram Berse :. =. :. 1000
Isabel Sheaff 1.50o
Alexander Sheaff :. 49, 1000
The last two are separate and dis
unct from the Sheaff estate though
the name is the same. OF this amount
there will probably be a reduction in
tbs Parker estate of $500 on account
of two mortgages filed in the district
court which will still be credited to
the estate making the shortage in that
instance $15.50O. This would make
the shortage in the various funds as
estimated $4,000.
Property Assigned
To cover this amount Mr.. Smith
leaves property as follows the esti-
mated value of which has been made by
the attorneys:

could not slide off. Captain Baughman
not wishing to disappoint the crowds
present this morning cut the guys
and made an attempt to shove the
steamer off with no results and she still
lies on her ways with the water dash
ing on the bottom of her hull. No other
attempt will be made to launch her but
the skids will be allowed to remain free
