SELLSCASE ISADJUSTED
What Promised to Be Bitter Will
Contest Settled Out of Court.

T. The famous Sells estate case, which
involved the possession of 100000,
has been settled out of court and
willie" Sells receives the entire
amount, or all he asked for. Mrs.
Ellen White of Dayton, o., and Mrs.
Emma Clark will have $4,000 divided
between them. Allen Sells, jr., will
receive 100000.
The case has been in litigation for
years and has attracted attention ev-
erywhere. willie" Sells proved to the
satisfaction of all persons concerned
that he was the adopted son OF the
late Mrs Sells Greenspan. When only
~ wears old he was the most noted
circus bareback rider in the world and
received enormous sums as compensa-
ton from the Sells Brothers circus.
All this his parents kept for years, he
alleged, and formed the foundation for
their big fortune.
When Allen Sells. the noted circus
man, died, he left fortune of over
100000. The entire estate was willed
to his wife, Anna Sells. Mrs.
Sells later married Simon Green
span. This alliance it is said caused
a quarrel between Willie and his moth
er. Mr.. Greenspan died in the insane
asylum a short while after. Mrs. Sells
had meantime wilIed all her property
to Mrs. Ellen White of Day.
ton and Mrs. Emma Clark of Phila-
delphia. Shortly afterwards she met
Willie Sells in Alabama and she told
him that she was sorry because of
the quarrel, and that she would change
the will and make him one of the
heirs. Mrs. Sells came home and died
very suddenly without changing her
will. Then Willie Sells instituted suit
for his share of the estate, claiming
that he was entitled to it, because he
had never been paid salary while per
forming as a bareback rider. Before
the district court the case was decided
in favor of the legatees of the will.
Then it was taken to the supreme
court where it now stands. 1t will
probably be withdrawn within a few
days. for a settlement has been effect
ed out of court. Willie Sells will get
about 100000, because the remainder
will have been eaten up by costs of
litigation and claims which have been
allowed against the estate.
