Webster City. Dec. ia suit that
has been Irrigated during the past
eleven years and involving an estate
valued at $4,000 has finally been set
tied. The final report in the famous
Priscilla Emerson estate has been sub
mitted to the district court and ac-
cepted. The administrator will now be
discharged and the estate will pass into
the hands of the heirs, boy and girl,
grandchildren of Mrs. Emerson. The
estate is worth about $4,000. Attor-
ney Biernatzki, who has had the case
during its latter stages, will get an at
torney fee of about $1,000 for his SER
vices for the estate.
The Emerson estate is one in which
cause of the long years of litigation
that have resulted from it. The prin-
cipal property in the estate is 200
acre farm in Webster county. The his
tory of the case is a long story The
salient points follow:
Mrs. Emerson, respected pioneer
resident of Stratford. prior to her
death decided her estate to her only
daughter, Mrs. East. Mrs. East had
two children. Upon her death. Of
course. the estate would by law be
divided between the children and the
husband. Upon the death of Mrs. En-
erson, ]. NJ Milborn was appointed adj
ministrator. Later Mrs. East died and
an attempt was made to administer up
on the estate. Miiborn retained Attor-
ney Biernatzki of this city, who, while
rummaging about some papers In the Of
flee of the late Hon. ]. f. Duncombe
in Font Dodge, who had been the at
torney for Mrs. Emerson during her
life, found deed from Mrs. East con-
veying the estate back to her mother
This deed had never been recorded, but
was of subsequent date to that which
gave the estate to Mrs. East Hence,
if this latter deed were legal. DR.. East
would be cut off and only the chill
dren. as the legal heirs of their grand
mother, would share in a division OF
the properly. Long litigation resulted
and finally after the case had run the
gauntlet of the district and supreme
courts the deed found among Mr. Dun
combe's private papers was upheld and
the estate given to the East children
During all the years of litigation the
ESTATE has been in the hands of Adj
ministrator Milborn. BY the accept
ance of the final report this famous
case is now ended, the administrator
discharged, the claims allowed and the
residue of the estate placed in the
hands of the heirs. Both are as yet
under age and the father, DR.. East,
is the legal guardian.
The Priscilla Emerson estate which
has been familiar one in Hamilton
county courts for years, is now wiped
from the docket.

GYMNASIUM FOR AMES
II is Possible l. S. c. Will Ask Lesis-

With Gymnasium.
to T;mes-Republlcan.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Dec. 13.-In addition to
the new gymnasiums which are being
constructed at Penn College at Oska-
loosa and Des Moines College at Des
Moines, it is possible that the authori-
ties of the Iowa State College at Ames
to build a large new gymnasium at the
agricultural college. Ames is the only
state institution without gymnasium.
The State Normal College at Cedar
Falls has the largest one. The state
university here has a combination
armory and gymnasium that will have
to serve until gymnasium can be
erected But the Aggies have been
compelled to get out their athletic
any kind, and from the time snow
comes in the fall until it melts in the
spring there is little athletic life Of
any kind at Ames.
The millage building tax passed at
the last session of the legislature will
yield for Ames and the state university
$650,000 apiece to be used in the con-
struction of new buildings. The state
university is already making provision
for the expenditure of over 100000 of
this sum but the agricultural college
has not gotten it's report to the legis-
lature in shape to be made public yet
and for that reason it is not known
whether the gymnasium will be asked
for or not
