ter of law in this state, all persons ex-
cept Infants and persons of unsound
mind have the right to make DISPOSE
ton of their estates by will and so de-
wise their property as TO divert the
interest therin of those who would
otherwise inherit it as their legal heirs.
Courts and juries have no power to
supervise the making of wills by sound
minded men nor to set wills aside be-
cause they are not made as they think
they ought to be. Sane men have the
same right and power to dispose of
their property by will as by deed.
However in a case where will is be-
ing contested on the ground that the
testator was of unsound mind or was
unduly influenced at the time the will
was executed, the provisions Of the
will, if the same appears unjust and
irregular or if the terms of the will
are apparently unnatural, unfair I'M
reasonable and out of the ordinary,
such matters may be considered by
the jury in connection with all the
other evidence in the case for the
purpose of determining what the men
tai condition of the testator was or
whether he was unduly Influenced al
the time the will was made.

bond is required that is larger than

The township assessors handle only
very small amounts of money and for
this reason the bond is low. No dis

In Center township the bond re-
