Larson in the district court of Craw-
ford county, Iowa, and that the plaintiff

was appointed executor Of said estate
under said will and is now acting as
such executor, and said petition further
states that the said will is ambiguous
and uncertain and should be interpreted
and construed by the court in certain
particulars, the plaintiff claiming that
the provision of the will which states
THAT after both OF our decease,' has
reference to the testator and his wife
and to no one else, and that the portion

ton of the estate, in which it is stated
that "one-llalf shall fall to my heirs.

half of his estate should go to the
parties whose names are mentioned and
not to their children except in case
where one or more Of the parties whose
names are mentioned should be de-
ceased and then to the children of such
person only, and in no event should the
children be entitled to an interest in the
estate in case where the parent is liv-
ing: the said plaintiff further claiming
that the provision in the will, "The
Othef nail Sndtl ran 10 my VINES Two
sisters and brother, which is Anna,
Elizabeth, and Olaf and not to their
children except in case where one of
said parties should be deceased, and as
to such deceased person, if either, then
his or her children should have the
share intended for the parent
While the plaintiff asks the construc-
ton of the will to be made as men,
toned above, if the court does not see

the will and construc it in the above
particulars so as to direct and enlighten
the plaintiff in the further discharge of
his duties as executor.

now on file.

ing at Denison, Iowa, on the II th day of

tered against you and each of you and
