The legatees under the will of
John G. Lund will in all probability
not receive one cent from his estate.
Jesse VanValkenberg, executor OF
the estate. has filed petition in
probate court asking to be allowed
to sell all of the numerous farm
lands owned by Lund for the pur-
pose of paying the debts. The petit
ton shows that the administrator
has collected $113. 229.66 life insur-
ance and that there are good &C.
counts and personal properties worth
about $4,000 additional. The life
insurance went to the estate, and
can therefore be used for the pur-
of paying the debts. The executor
states that from what figures he has
at hand the debts will foot up to
5000, 900, and that therefore it is in
solvent and it will be necessary tc
sell the lands in order to get enough
m 1ney to pay the executor and the
debts.
