ASHFORD

Oscar D. Baker ani E. L. James of Ashford took to Willimantic last week a large assortment of animal skins that they captured this winter The assortment consisted of twenty fox skins, three coon skins and several skunk and muskrat skins. The lot was sold to Jared Daniels of East Lyme for nearly $2O0. The skins were only a part of the number that has been secured by the Ashford men.
 By agreement of counsel and all in- terested parties, the probate bearing on the will of William Gardner, late of Ashford, was heard in Willimantic Monday, instead of in Ashford. As Oscar Baker, judge of the Ashford, probate court, had drawn the will, he was disqualified to act as judge, and he cited in Judge L. J. Storrs of the Mansfield court. When MT. Gardner died a short time ago he left a will ill which he gave his son George 5000 and the balance of the estate to his other son, Representative Bert w. Gardner. The entire estate amounts to about $6OOh. The claim was that MT Gardner, during his life time, gave his son George a sum in excess of $3OOO, and that the purpose of the testator was to give the other son enough to balance these advances. Mrs William Gardner, mother of the two men, when she died, left an es- tate of several thousand dollars. Her husband had life use of the estate and consequently it was never settled. MT. Gardner did not use the income from the money in the banks, and the brothers will now share equally in the distribution of the money from their mothers estate, principal and interest, or whether the interest on fathers estate and be distributed to Bert W. Gardner as part of the resi- due of his fathers estate. William A. King appeared for epresentative Bert W. Gardner, executor of the es- tate. Hull, McGuire and Hull of New London represented George Gardner's interests. After an all day hearing the will was admitted to probate and Bert W. Gardner was ap- proved as executor. He qualified and filed bond of $15, 900 with Oscar D. Baker as surety. Arthur James and Nathaniel Knowlton were ap- pointed appraisers. In the estate of Mrs. William Gardner, James Knowl- ton of Ashford was appointed admin istrator.
