BL0UNT ESTATE S300,O0O LOW VALUE OF REALTY Relatives of English Lord Agree That They Can
 not Contest.

Details of the will of Archibald Hen- ry Blount who died in England last June and whose estate consisting of property in Herefordshire Is left to Yale university, have been received by Yale authorities.
 It seems likely that the estate is not of as great value as at first predicted by reason of the low price of rural reality now prevailing in England. The first estimate of value was as high as $4OO,OO0, but it may not reach or ex- ceed S30000O. Yale will deem it advis- able to sell the property and steps will be taken towards that end at once. The intent of the testator was so evil dent that TO obstacle is expected in the chancery court of England and there will be no contest Besides leav- ing small bequests to relatives, one nephew is given the option of redemp- tion of the realty at price to be agreed upon by trustees, and if he does not care to take advantage of this of- fer the disposition of the property will remain with the university.
 Inquiry among those who were of kin to the testator would indicate that they agreed that the intent of Mr. Blount was we'll defined, as he original. ly opened negotiations as to turning the property over to Yale university and later expressed intention of mak- ing the gift during his lifetime and taking back an annuity. In the courts of England in probate cases the intent of a testator is given deep considera- tion as is the rule in probate courts under our own laws.
