WHO DIED FIRST,
HUSBAND OR WIFE!
An Interesting Question to Be
Decided in Atkinson Deaths
in South Dakota
TO WHICH LINE DOES ESTATE GO
Relatives of the Atkinsons Meet Here
to Discuss the Situation = Mayor
Ramsey, AItho an Attorney, Advises
to Settle Out of Court and Keep tho
Lawyers Out of 1t.
TO WHICH LINE DOES ESTATE GO

In the triple tragedy at Woonsocket
S. D., in which Edward Atkinson, wife
and little daughter, formerly OF this
county, were crushed TO death under
the timbers OF their falling house, an
important legal question may arise as
to who died first, the husband or wife.
A meeting of relatives was held here
today, to discuss the situation, and
try and agree as to the method OF
procedure.
At the meeting today, in an attor-
ney's office, there Were present William
Atkinson, of st. Anthony, Edward At
kinson's father; n. A Julian, of Let
cher, S. D., g. brother in-law of Mr..
Atkinson; Miss Gertrude Smith, Of
Des Moines, Mrs. Atkinsons sister. and
Mayor S. b. Ramsey, OF Woonsocket,
who brought the bodies to st. Anthony
for burial.
Same Question as in Fair Case.
Under the South Dakota law the
question of priority of death is the
same as in New York. where the Gel
ebrated Fair case came up when Mr..
and Mrs. Fair were killed in an auto
mobile accident in Paris a few years
ago. Depending on who died first
rests the family line to which the es-
take shall divert. In other words, If
Atkinson died first the property would
go to his wife's relatives, but If the
wife was killed first. the husbands
line would be the beneficiaries.
Ramsey Says Get Together.
While Mayor Ramsey is AN attor-
ney and will take charge Of the set
Element of the estate for the heirs, he
is frank in advising them to settle
upon some course of action rather than
bring the case in court. Let the
lawyers stay out of it, is his advice,
settle among yourselves, peaceably.
Property is Valuable.
The Atkinson property in South Da-
kota is quite valuable, owing to re-
cent increases in land values. Mr..
Atkinson bought half section three
or four miles out of WOonsocket
few years ago, paying $40 for 1T, and
it was almost paid for.ss Today the land
is worth at least $25 or $50 per acre.
The place in town, on which the new
house was being built, consists of
twelve acres, and cost 500 per acre.
Mayor Ramsey says that today this
is worth 5000 per acre with
out any improvements at all. Aside
from the above there are considerable
live stock and personal effects, and a
$4,000 policy in the Modern Woodmen.
The life insurance policy will also come
under the priority of death question,

Lived in adjoining County, But

Nathan Leach, OF Clifford, returned to
his home Tuesday evening after two
days visit in Marshalltown. A visitor
from Clifford isn't an extraordinary
occurrence in Marshalltown, but. in
Mr.. Leach,s visit was extraordinary,
because he has lived in Hardin county
for half century, and it has been
thirty years since he saw this city. It
is not strange that Mr.. Leach con-
fessed "he didn't know the town."
When Mr.. Leach first passed thru
Marshalltown, in the fall Of '57, there
was but one house in the town. Mr..
Leach settled in Hardin county, and
did his trading here for years. At one
time he says he knew every business

When Wellington Russell came west
from Massachusetts with his bride, in
1856. he procured a grant from the
government for a quarter section OF
land in Benton county, Minnesota. He
entered the land, but only remained a
year and a half, for land, together
with what improvements he had made
year and a half, for his first crop was
entirely destroyed by the grasshop-
pers. He left the land, together with
what Improvements he had made on It,
and neither he nor his heirs ever
thought they had any further claim on
1t. Miss Russell still has in her pos
session the original grant for the land,
signed by President Buchanan.
