KING ESTATE SETTLED.
Niece and Daughter Establish Claims
to $4,000.


The long case coLce ring the dis.
tr:bntion of the estate of the late
Jerry King has Just been settled in
the Pennington county circuit court
King. who lived III that county fof
many years and had cleaned up for
tune amounting to $4,000, left some
interesting legal questions to be set
tied by Judge and jury. The first in.
teresting question was whether or not
his niece, Miss Corinne Ray, was en-
titled to $4,000 in certificates on the
Pennington County bank, which her
uncle gave her shortly before his
death. He handed them to her with
the remark that this was to be her
share of the estate However. the
certificates were no indOrsed. The
administrators therefore claimed that
they were valueless. and that King
died intestate. The jury took differ
ent view of the question and rendered
a verdict in favor of Miss Ray giving
in all to nearly $4,000 The second
question was the establishing of the
identity of Mrs. Flora Belle Hollis of
Ellsworth, Me-, who claimed to be the
daughter of King Mrs. Hollis brought
from the Eastern state number Of
witnesses to establish her claim and
offered as one of the most telling bits
nf evidence a Black Hills gold ring
given her by King on his last visit,
and engraved on the inside to show
1t was from her father. The court
decided in her favor, and she will re-.
ceive the rest of the estate, valued at
about $3S,000.
Unless appeals are taken, these twd
estates will stand. Additional claim
9nts are turning up every few min
uteS, however, in various parts of the
country, some of them in Canada and
the final settlement Of Jerry King S
gold still may be in the future.

saving the town. The loss on the
