Judge Bradshaw Will Deter
mine Whether Demented Heir
Shares in Estate
REALTY DEAL RAISED QUESTION
Son Of Late E.. P. Walter Has Been
Insane for Wears, and Money Has
Been Set Aside for His support-In-
tention Of Testator Believed to Have
Been That There Was No Equity.

Judge G. B. Bradshaw, of the Sew
enteenth judicial district, will decide
in vacation an interesting and impor-
tant question that has arisen thru the
sale Of, city property belonging to the
E. P. Walter estate, which, in effect, Is
whether or nor an heir of unsound
mind is entitled to share. In other
words, the court will be asked to in
terpret the will, and say whether Jere-
miah Walter, insane for years, has any
right to an equity in his fathers es-
tate
When the late Mr. Walter made his
will, disposing Of his property valued
at from $4,000 to $4,000. he antici-
pated that Mrs. Walter would outlive
him. Such proved not ITO be the case.
however, and Mrs. Walter died before
her husband. No subsequent Will was
made, and this has involved somewhat
the Interpretation of the will.
80 WSlAtS year > VA l1VAC d6C
Walter, a son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter,
became insane, and was cared for dur
ing many years at a state hospital.
Upon being pronounced incurable, he
was brought to the county farm, where
he is still an inmate, and of unsound
mind. At the time the son became In
sane between $500 and $4,000 was set
aside by Mr.. Walter for the care and
support Of his son, and the money in
vested and secured by real estate
mortgages. This sum has been suffi-
Gent at all times to support the imbe-
cile son according to the contract the
guardian has with the county. r, B.
Miller, of Ida Grove, brother in law
Of Mr.. Walter, is his present guardian.
BY the terms OF the will It Is believed
by attorneys who have examined the
document that the testator intended
that the son Jeremiah was not to have
an equity in the estate, because he had
been cared for by the sun, set aside
many years ago, and would always be
provided for. The wording Of the will,
however, is such that there is chance
for a question to arise as to whether
the son jeremiah does or does not
share in the estate, and this is what
the court is asked to determine in the
petition filed in the district court.

sometimes of a curious nature.
One New England clergyman tells OF
a wedding fee which lasted ten times
as long as any other he ever received.
and which, he believes. has never been
duplicated.
The wedding was that of thrifty
widow to an elderly bachelor, VINO was
sadly in need of just the care and the
feeding he, would receive at the WfdoW
hands The wedding was lively one
and as the clergyman was about 10
depart, the bride stepped up to MIN
and whispered:
II sent Henry over with your Zee
half an hour ago. He wasn't in po-
sttion to give you one, but told MIN
ne could lug 1t over and that would
show his good will. I hope youth ike
lit; you always have"
When the minister reached his house
he was greeted by his wife. whom the
s6-weeks-old baby had kept at home
that evening.
"The bridegroom brought over your
fee awhile ago." she said, in a voice
shaking with laughter Il had him
put it out in the kitchen"
That's pretty place for wedding
feet" cried the minister. as he hurried
out to the kitchen, followed by his
wife,
There he found his fee-two dozen
glass Jars, bearing neat labels, which
set forth the nature Of their contents
six of "currant jell," six of "spiced cur
rants" six of grape JAM" and six Of
sweet pickle"
I'VE laughed over that fee more than
any other" said the minister, "but we
also had more solid enjoyment out Of
1t than out Of any other I've ever re-
ceived."

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.
New York;. G. Dun & CO.'S

New York;. G.. Dun & CO.'S
weekly review of trade says:
Severe storms restricted new BUSH
ness in many sections of the coun-
try during the past week and in
creased the delay in making deliver
les on old orders. Commodity prices
advanced as a rule. Jobbers report
a good demand for spring delivery,
especially in dry goods, but business
is retarded by slow shipments from
the mills, and collections are only
fair. Manufacturing plants operate
at full capacity in the leading in
dustries, although there are COM
plants of fuel scarcity.
E2w variations are recorded IN
quotations of iron and steel, the in
dustry fully maintaining Its remarkly
satisfactory position, although con-
sumers find deliveries less prompt
because of delays by deep snow and
low temperature.
aside from a few upward price
movements there Is no change in the
cotton goods situation. Less press
ure to place orders is noticed in some
departments, wholesome condition,
in view of the large contracts already
on the books, while in other sections
of the market there is still eagerness
to secure future deliveries with little
regard for prices.
More speculative interest has de-
veloped in the wheat market, encour-
aged by cabled reports of heavy home
needs for Russian wheat in relieving
the famine and increased inquiries
by exporters. Corn was firmly held
above last years quotations, despite
a movement that Endorsed large crop
estimates, but foreign demand was
poor.
