Des Moines, Jan. 16.-With the filing
in the district court of petition by
the heirs to the estate of John A. 8.
Woods, a wealthy farmer living in
Union township, Story county, to set
aside a certain ante-nuptial contract.
an unusual situation is brought to
light. The, case involves the ownership
CT forty acres of land in Story county.
According to the petition Woods died
June 16, 1911 Soon after his death 1t
was discovered by the heirs that he had
signed an ante-nuptial contract with
Emily Woods which was filed in the
Polk county recorders office on Dec.
%, 1897. the day of their marriage. The
contract provided that Mrs. Woods
should be given the forty acres of land
upon his death.
The heirs declare the ante -nuptial
contract is void for the reason that
Emily Woods represented to her fiance
that she was an unmarried woman at
the time she entered into it. The petit
ton alleges that Mrs. Woods was not
a single woman, but the lawful wife of
John f. Wood, alias John Wood, alias
John c. Wood. She lived with John A.
S. Woods until his death.
The heirs to the estate of Mr..
Woods, the plaintiffs in action, are:
Anna l.. Burns, Elizabeth Burns. Sam
uel Woods. U. G. Woods, Lorenzo d.
Woods, Arthur r. Woods. William A.
Woods, and Eldridge Woods.
