By REPUBLIC AN PARTY
ARMSTRONG ESTATE SUIT UP
Point at Issue is Identity Of the
K Mother of the One Leay-
ing Big Estate.

Litigation over the estate OF the
late Adolphus Armstrong, OF Graf
ton. has assumed the form of trial
by jury in circuit court here. the
style of the same being John r,
! Butcher against Sidney H. Sommer-
Vile and others, an action OF eject
ment. the immediate purpose being
TO obtain an order or verdict deliv-
ering the possession OF certain prop
erty Of the estate to the plaintiff. hut
nov held by Sommervllle.
The controversy is noted one and
peculiar in several phases. Arm
strong died at an advanced age and
unmarried. So far no will has been
found and his estate reaching beyond
100000 in value was not disposed
of by him.
| Soon after his death is was learned
that he had half sister in Ohio,
named Louise Butcher. The latter
was past 80 years Of age and she dis
posed of the estate by certain nego-
tiations. by which Sommervllle be-
came interested. Later she made a
will giving the bulk OF the estate to
a half sister-in-law OF herself and
Armstrong, namely, Mrs, Tena Smith,
OF Ohio, and the remainder to
churches and charity. Her action III
the first instance was declared IL
legal by the proper court, which de-
cided that Miss Butcher was an imbe-
Icile. but notwithstanding that she
made will ten days afterward CIV
ing the estate to Mrs. Smith and
charity. Shortly afterward she died
and then. the Casper Butcher family
entered into the litigation.
Another family OF Butchers, name
lys George Butchers family and Inn
mediate connections claim the estate
also. The plaintiff in the present
suit represents the Casper Butcher
family. The plaintiff side claims
Armstrong; mother was Polite
Butcher. daughter OF Casper Butcher,
while the defendants say he was al
son of.Sallie Butcher, daughter of
George Butcher.
Armstrong was an Legitimate
child and the real point in the suit
as shown by the above is to establish
the true identity of his mother.
Judge NJ. H. Dent, OF Grafton, ap-
pears for. the plaintiff, and Davis &
Davis for the defendants.
