M'KENNAN PARK
ESTATE THROUGH
CIRCUIT COURT
First Bequest Was for Public
Park and $4,000 Goes
for City Hospital.

Sioux Falls. S. D.. Jan. As the
result of the complication of two
suits against the estate of Helen
G. McKennan last week in CIR
cult court, compromises made by
the executor of the estate outside of
court, $26,O00 remains of the estate
which will be used in building hospi-
tai in Sioux Falls.
The first suit brought against the
estate was by Colonel Melvin Grigsby
for a partition sale of a strip OF land
adjoining the park property which has
been used as a street. Mr.. Grigsby
claimed that the land had never been
dedicated to the public as street.
The executor of the estate, however,
disclaimed any interest in the strip of
land in question, so that the case was
dismissed
The second suit brought against the
estate was the claim of Artemus Ca
briel Gale for $4,000. The executor
held the bond of Artemus Gale for
$4,000 to make good any claim de-
cided in court in favor of the plaintiff
in any action. This case was according
ly compromised and the estates of
Artemus Gale and Helen G. McKennan
We're released from any liability.
The suit brought by w. G. McKen-
nan against the estate for $4,000 and
interest was compromised few weeks
ago by the payment of $4,000.
AL! of the claims against the estate
are now settled with the exception OF
the inheritance tax, which is now be-
fore the supreme court. If the entire
amount of the tax has to be paid 1t
will amount to $4,000.
