Two Suits Filed
 In District Court

An appeal case has been filed in the district court in the matter Of the matter of the estate of Mary Gee de- ceased, from the ruling of Judge Goodbody in the probate court. The papers in tine case allege that on the 26th of July there was filed in the probate court s petition. by Katha- rine \. Barr and Norman Barr, asking for the removal of Henry NJ. Gee as administrator of the estate on the grounds that he was trying to divert 10 his own use a part ot the estate; that he had not included in his in- veLtory of the estate a wagon and Sl1l65 that was on deposit to the credit of Henry NJ. Gee as administra- tor of the estate of Mary Gee, in the First National Bank, the money being alleged to be the amount paid on II notes for the payment of the Old Guard mine on an escrow agreement for the property and deed signed by Mrs. Mary Gee and II NJ. Gee. Upon hearing the petition in the probate court the judge ordered that H. NJ. Gee be removed from the position as Charles Bowman be appointed as a special admin stratOr. In his answer the former administrator alleges that the Old Guard mine was his separate property and that he had been in pos married the deceased and that the estate had no interest in it whatever; that he had the property deeded to her in the year 1897 for conveyance sake, as he had redeemed it from tax sale, and that when the escrow deeds were signed by them both it was understood that it was his separate property.
 Anotber suit arising out of the same transaction IS that of H. NJ. Gee against the First National Bank to compel them to pay him the balance of the money now being in the bank to the credit of H. NJ. Gee, admiDis- tor of the estate of Mary Gee, de- ceased, amounting to $l0,Ssl 8. He alleges that the bank has refused to pay the same on account of the claim being made by the special sdminis- trator and the heirs, Norman Barr and Kathrine Barr. that the money belongs to the estate. The matter will now all go over until the October term of the district court. Consider able interest is manifested in the case as all of the parties are well known in Tombstone, where they have resided for a number of years.
