beauty and loneliness of its social life,

person focks by himself. "We 60

The case of Mrs. Mary Blakeslee :,
gott against DR.. Henry d. Holton, =
itch has been in the courts nearly
nr years, appears to have come TO Il
end. A short time ago Judge VIII d.
m H. Taylor, by whom the case was al
It heard, handed down a decision al
staining the decision of the probate m
1rt. Under the law certain time nj
S allowed for filing exceptions, but pa
1t time has passed and no exceptions W
We been filed, and the county clerk dc
! certified the case back to the pro- a'
te court for record. DR.. Holton was OF
stee of the estate of Mary Blakes- 10
now Mrs. Pigott When she be- al
ne of age the trustee offered to turn be
estate over to her, but she deelin- nc
TO take it until an accounting had be
m made, and so the matter was WI
,e over before Judge E. L.. water co
n. then judge of probate. His de- ba
ION was in favor of DR.. Holton, an
h the exception of one or two NJ
Tor points. An appeal from the or Ia
of the probate court was taken, pa
since then the case has attracted II
siderable attention. 1t is under at
ID that the time for filing excep- Ia
IS was allowed to go by unlnten- at
,allv. and unless some way is found a
reopening it, the case apparently do
concluded. ms
