Fred. wv. Schumacher at Northome,
Itasca county, Mrs. Schumacher
gave birth to child, and the infant
is in hetlthy condition. The APP
pearance of the little one complicates
the estate Of the deceased, making
it necessary to probate the estate in
Itasca county. and the issuing Of
the proper documents from the pro-
bate court OF that county so that the
amount Fred would have received
from the estate OF his uncle can be
paid over to the Administrative or
administrator of his estate. The
life insurance policy was made pay
able direct to Mrs. Schumacher, but
the child will share in two-thirds Of
the remainder OF the estate, includ-
ing the legacy from the California
uncle, and it is probable that Mrs.
Schumacher will be appointed adj
ministratrix of the estate and the
guardian Of the child, which if the
money is properly invested, will
have neat sum to its credit on ar
irving at the age Of Fl years.

According to the Renville Record
w. w. Harvey. who moved from
here to Renville, is experiencing
some difficulty in perfecting a set
element with the village council for
having found a good well of water
for that village. The Record says:
Saturday evening they offered Mr..
Harvey 81 900 and the piping in the
park in settlement, whieh he does
not consider sufficient. The follow
ing is the situation; When Harvey
undertook the well in the park he
assumed the Indebtedness Of the
man Bentley, who started the job,
to Q. Ell. Howe and borrowed more
for running expenses which is COW
cred by second mortgage on the
rig for $498. The village advanced
$50 to enable Harvey tostart work,
which is covered by a first mort
gage. After he threw up his con
tract at the park, he agreed to try
for well at the gas house, the vii.
lage to pay s. day to defray
his coal bills and other expenses
and his cost of living, which has
left him with $240 against in ac-
counts around town. The village
has, on the other hand, put in a
couple hundred dollars on repairs
on the well rig which he is to re-
ceive. AS the matter stands the
81, 900 voted him will pay the two
mortgages and the accounts around
town, which will leave him about a
hundred dollars in cash and his
well rig in good condition over and
above his family living expenses
for his work Of year and quarter.
He does not feel as though this was
sufficient for his work ia securing a
good we'll for the village. On the
