sented Administrator Sanders. He contends that the holding of the district court that the inventory was the guide by which the value of the estate should be fixed, en- titles his client to commission on the inventoried value of the estate. On the other hand the Probate court holds that as the actual value of the estate was little more than S1 1000, $250 is an exhorbitant fee, and when added to other expenses incurred in the administration of the estate brings the cost of admin istration up to about half the actual value of the estate, which the court apparently considered unjust and he ruled accordingly.
 The administrator takes excep- ton to the ruling of the probate judge and purposes taking the case back to the district court on the new point of law which has developed.
 4 compromise is talked of and may be effected in time to keep the case from going to the higher courts for final decision.

Although there has come to TIE OAsrs well authenticated reports, emanating from well informed Ya- auis, that steps have been taken to close the trouble which is raging in Sonora and bring about the loug desired peace, there is still trouble in some parts of the state, and the troops are sorely pressing strong bands of the Indians.

ADMINISTRATOR TAXES EXCEPTION TO
 RULING OF PROBATE COURT
Question of Law in Settlement of Bar tleson Estate Caused by Difference In Inventoried Valuation and Actual Cash Value.

In the settlement of the Bartle- son estate, of which Mir. H. Tupper Sanders is administrator, there has developed a fine point of law which the district court and possibly the supreme court may be called upon to decide.
 When Dr. Bartleson died in February, 1904, he left his affairs in a very unsettled condition. Mir. Sanders, appointed administrator, found that against the estate, which inventoried more than $4, GOO, were mortgages that reduced the actual cash value of the prop erty to a figure much less than $2,OO0.
 There was presented to the ad- ministrator bv Mir. n. F Brown a bill for S7S.66 for office rent against the doctor. Under the law order ing administrators to set aside for the benefit of the widow estates that inventory less than S2,000, the administrator rejected the bill.
 Brown sued and was given judg- ment in the justice court. On an appeal to the district court by the administrator of the estate, the judgment of the lower court was sustained by Judge Eugene A. Tucker, who held that the inven- tory of the estate showed property valued at more than $2,00O and that in law the administrator should be guided by the inventory Sanders then went back to the probate court, in the final settle ment of the matter, and filed with Probate Judge O'Connor his bill l for services as administrator. Hi: claim called for $250.30, commits sion for the settlement of the es. tate at the inventoried value o more than S4,000. As the bulk 0. l the money coming from the estate had already passed from the ad. ministrator's hands, there is now not more than enough left in hi' 1 possession to pay for his services in settling the estate, if allowed a l the fee claimed for administration of the estate as inventoried, and i ] the bill of Mr. Sanders as present ed to the probate court should bt allowed there would be no none, left to pay the judgment given Mr Brown in the justice court anC affirmed by the district court.

Smith, OF the Casino. a historical
magazine, published at OTTAWA, Can
ada, is visiting this city for the pur-
pose OF obtaining historical data Of
New Jersey,
Miss Smiths visit to this city aud
section Of New Jersey was brought
about by the unearthing of the skele-
tons of 400 American soldiers, while
the British government were eXcavst-
ing for the new Cornwell canal, through
this lands of Spencer and Drummond,
to avoid the Gallops rapids of the st.
Lawrence. These skeletons are those
of the American soldiers Of Amboy
and Burlington counties, this state,
who were killed at the battle Of Fort
Lewis in 1860, under the genoralship
of Sir William johnson.
The islands upon which the bodies
were found are opposite the city of
Cardinal near Prescott.
1t is the intention of the historical
society of Ottawa to erect shaft or
monument to the fallen heroes of the
war and for. this purpose Miss Smith
is looking up the historical records for
the names of those men who partici-
pated in the battle.
One of Miss Smiths foretathers was

Miss Nellie Darcy Steps Into
Difficult Role at Last
Moment.

Miss Nellie Darcy will take one of
the leading roles in the senior play in
the high school tonight, although she
was not assigned to the part until yes
terday afternoon.
The character in question was to
have been taken by Miss Ruth Han
cock. Miss Hancock, after learning
and rehearsing the part, was taken i'll
with the mumps.
When it was found yesterday after
noon that Miss Hancock would not be
able to appear tonight, Miss Darcy
consented to the request. Miss Darcy
thus showed that she possesses the
proper school spirit for work and
effort, and her appearance cannot help
but prove personal triumph.
The play promises to be great sur
prise. The cast and the plot of the
play has been kept a profound secret.
1t is generally acknowledged that
the play is to be funny and number
of good laughs are promised. The
play is under the direction of Mrs.
Francis Kitchel and the Funny

conjecture, is under the direction Of
Prof. Graham.
From present indications the audi
torium will be filed with an expec-
tant audience long before the time
