Find Lost Will.


Lost since 1901, the will of Mrs
Noble Babcock was discovered. yester-
day. While searching for facts. bear
ing on the title of lands of Mrs. Noble
Babcock, who died in 1901, a local at
torney came upon her will. This had
been filed with the auditor instead of
having been@ probated in, the superior
court and in this manner the mistake
was made. The will showing an estate
worth $3.50 was probated yesterday
and as the husband who was named as
administrator refused to act as such,
the court appointed E. S. Hennessey in
this capacity. Robert Breeze, Law
renee Geaney and Jacob Hill were ap-
pointed as appraisers.
