Story of the Case

Jerry and Nelson. two grandchildren.

Ting up of the estate but it seems,
from the testimony that this was not
to be done peacefully, as Bailey and
Perry were hired by Joe ST. Dennis to
contest the will. In the meantime,
Watts and Peterson had been retain
ed by others of the heirs so that there
was a mixup at the beginning.
Finally, according to Mr.. Watts
testimony, he was told by Joe ST.
Dennis that Perry and Bailey had
been notified to withdraw from the
case and that he and Peterson were
to go ahead with 1t. The first thing
to be done, 1t seems, was to clear the
title to the lands and this leads to
what is probably the whole cause of

Several important matters are
coming up at a meeting of the Pan

what.

tion that has arisen as a result of the

In addition to the members of the

wolves upon us to agree upon an or
ganzed system of work to the end of
improving conditions as they exist"
