tertiary for a term of two years and
six months at hard labor" said the

istic military bearing. One would

WALLACE LEFT HALF
MILLION DOLLAR
ESTATE
Drayton Banker Died Intes-

Will Be Appointed

H. e. Wallace, the Drayton banker.
died intestate.
His estate is valued at approximate
ly $500, 600, the major portion of
which is represented by real estate
holdings in the city of Winnipeg.
Man.
j. R. Strong. the cashier of the First
National bank of Drayton. and who
was injured by young Rex Wallace,
probably will be the administrator of
the estate. He is still in the Drayton
hospital recovering from the effects
Of the bullet wound received. The
tween the y and ear His condition
is satisfactory.
The Drayton bankers plans for the
future We're we'll laid. In the city of
Winnipeg he had made extensive pur-
chases of real estate in anticipation
Of the great exposition which is to
be held there in a few years. He had
proposed to dispose of his holdings
during the present year. thus being
out of the market by the time the aft
er-fair slump came.
1t had been generally supposed that
tho Drayton banker had left a will
disposing of his property, but no such
document is In existence, hence the
division of the estate will be made
according to law.
There are two daughters. a son and
the widow who are the direct heirs.
Mr.. Stong was quite conversant with
Mr.. Wallace's affairs. and for that
reason probably will be made admin
istratOr.
