fo- several years and arose over very
unusual circumstances When Anton
Peterson died leaving considerable

OF not there any one there having a
claim on the estate In the meantime
it was discovered that there were re
larives in Norway who lay claim to the
estate and they retained the local at
toEney to represent them
About this time woman who held
herself out as the wife of Peterson
back in Michigan. presented her claim
and offered proof to show that her SON
was Petsrson's child It afterward
developed that Peterson left Michigan
and came to North Dakota to escape
a charge OF bastardy, with the woman
in the case as the complaining witness
In fact Peterson was in saloon with
an officer who had arrested him, when
on some pretense he secured permis
sion to go into the back room- Hs
