Bishop and Means children. The court
told the deposed guardian that he had
been granted three continuanees for the
purpose OF being given an opportunity to
pay the money to the new guardians and
had made but few very slight payments,
scarcely worth considering, and that II he
did not arrange for the payment by 9

attorneys representing the heirs and an
agreement was reached that he would sign

farm property near Oakland and property
in Omaha. Fremont Benjamin appeared as
prosecutor and n. A. Crawford as counsel
for one Of the guardians, Sarah Il. Means.
Attorney Benjamin objected to Mr.. CTaw-

Mr. Fehr. He was put on the stand and
terests of Mr.. Fehr, and he was excluded.
