Probate Matters Divorces
Granted.

Jessie X. Kaae, executrix of the will
of Margaret V. Carter, has petitioned
for leave to sell real estate. The pur-
pose is to redeem a mortgage to the
estate Of Charles Motley, deceased, of
all the real estate Of the decedent to
secure a promissory note for $4,000
made July Z, 1900, for two years at
per cent. None of the principal has
been paid, but the interest has been
paid up to July Z, 1905. There are
taxes due on the estate up to this year
Of $693.16, which Chinese firm as les
see should pay. an appeal has been
taken to the Supreme Court from an
order disallowing some portions of petit
toner's account. Petitioner has on
hand about $3.50 without prospect of
materially increasing the sum until the
first of January, 1906, and the entire
revenue of the estate is insufficient to
pay the interest on the mortgage and
provide for maintaining the homestead
in manner suitable for the residence
of the husband and children of dece-
dent. While the personal property was
appraised at $1706.50, since then an
order of court declDred most of it to
be the property of DR.. Carter. The ex-
ceptions are jewelry and silver table,
ware valued at $650.50, which are di-
fho 10 hn n ICfrI {a6
among decedent s children and other
relatives. If sold they would probably
not bring more than half their apprais-
ed value. No debts of the estate other
than the mortgage remain to be paid.
The real estate is readily severed and
segregated into three different parcels,
viz: About As acres of rice land, under
lease at $500 year, appraised at 49,,
500; about los acres of kula and noun
tain land, appraised at $3.50, and the
homestead premises, about 26 acres, ly-
ing between the seashore and the rice
lands, appraised at $4,000. The total
valuation is $21,350. 1t is believed by
petitioner that the first parcel Of land
would sell for probably more than suf-
ficient to redeem the property from the
lien of the mortgage, but that the
second and third ,srcels. sold either
separately or together, would not yield
sufficient for that purpose.
MONEY FOR MINORS.
J. J. Dunno, guardian Of Aluli and
Piliwai, minor children Of Paupau WV,
deceased, fled petition to Judge De
Bolt, praying for citation to Koloa
Sugar Co. to appear and show cause
why it should not pay to petitioner
$4,000 due to the estates of the minors.
| It is mentioned that the defendant,
on demand being made, admitted it
| was indebted to Paupau's estate and
promised to hand over the money upon
proof that the minors were the legal
heirs of Paupau. Judge Robinson has
issued an order to cite the Koloa Sugar
Co. to appear at chambers on August
% and show cause as prayed.
