Boston, Dec. 25.-Ralph S. Bartlett,
who as counsel for Mrs. Olea Bull
Vaughan, only child Of the late Ole
Bull, the famous %violinist, successfully
contested the will of Mrs. Bull in the
probate court of York county, Maine,
last summer, has gone to Liverpool on
his way to file Mrs. Vaughan's will at
Bergen. Norway. Mr.. Bartlett is exec
utor for the will of Mrs. Vaughan,
and he and Miss Amelia Shapleigh of
West Lebanon, Me-, are co-trustees
for Sylvia Vaughan, the adopted
daughter of Mrs. Vaughan and the
principal beneficiary under Mrs.
Vaughan's will. The reason that the
will of Mrs. Vaughan is to be
offered for record in Bergen is that the
only foreign real estate which she
possessed is the island of Lysoen, near
Bergen. Ole Bull owned this island,
which is said to be one OF the most
beautiful in the world. 1t is in a ford
about twenty-five miles from Bergen,
and consists of about seven hundred
acres of land largely forest. Ole Bull
in his lifetime developed two fresh
water lakes and a ave and laid out
twenty miles of paths on the island.
Lysoen was left by Mrs. Vaughan to
the little Swiss girl, Sylvia. whom she
adopted a couple of years ago, but on
Sylvia's death Lyseon is to be pre-
served by the Norwegian government
as a memorial to Ole Bull. The exact
procedure which will be followed in
Norway with respect to the case is a
matter of uncertainty, because under
the Norwegian law no foreigner can
own real estate in that country with
out the written consent of the king.
