TRAIN CALLER GETS LEGACY.
Mike Burke Of Sioux City is Richer
Man by $4,000 now-Estate

Mike Burke Of Sioux City is Richer
Man by $4,000 now-Estate
Had Been in Court.
Sioux City. Feb. 16.-A quarter share
in an $4,000 estate looks whole
lot better to Mike Burke than calling
trains for the West and Howard hotels.
Burke received notice yesterday
that his mothers. estate, which has
been in litigation for five years. finally
had been decided and that his share
was $4,000. He has stopped calling
trains and will go to Chicago immedi-
ately to look over his property. which
consists largely of Chicago real estate.
Burke intends to sell out his Chi
cago holdings and invest at least a
part of his money in South Dakota
land He has not fully decided to be-
come farmer, but says South Dakota
soil seems to be profitable thing to
own. - .-... ...
When Mr. Burk's father died he left
q life interest in his estate to his wife,
who also died five years ago, leaving
equal parts of the estate to two sons
and two daughters. One of the daugh-
tiers attempted to break the will,
claiming she had not been given an
equal share. The case has been in
the courts of Chicago for five years,
the daughters attempt to break ethe
will at last proving fruitless
