of the calves has been separated milk,

Woman Claims Widows Dover.

Grundy Center, Sept. Ga probate
case of more than usual interest will
have hearing in the district court in
this county this week.
The case is between the children
of the late Boble Willems, who ided
last winter, and his widow, who for
merly was Mrs. Saathoff.
Mr. Willems and Mrs. Saathoff
were married about three years ago.
The groom was then in the seventies
and was in feeble health. There was
pre-nuptial contract made which is
now on file at the clerks Office, and
this contract reads that Mrs. Saathoff
surrendered her dover right of one
third of the Willems estate in the
event of her husbands death prior to
her own, but that she was to receive
in lieu thereof the sum of $1,000.
Mrs. Willems now claims that this
was not her understanding Of the con-
tract but that she was to receive her
widows dover and $1,000 in addition
| thereto.
| The Willems estate Is valued at
about $4,000, which would make the
widows share $4,000. This is the
amount involved in the suit
