rs GIVEN REWARD
Mrs. Maria Anna Burg Is
Named as Heir to Estate
of G. I'll. Booth, Trevor.
REWARDS FAITHFUL SERVICE

An unusual recognition Of faithful
service has been brought to light In
the county court of Kenosha county by
the filing for probate Of the wills Of
the late George H. Booth and his vile
Ann Booth. Under the provisions Of
the two wills, Mrs. Maria Anna Burg,
formerly Of Kenosha, is named as prac-
tically sole heir to the estate of the
Kenosha pioneers. The will of Mrs.
Ann Booth, who died few weeks be-
fore her husband, provided that a be-
quest Of $1,000 be paid to Harriet
Welsh, residing in Nebraska, and that
the remainder of her estate be turned
over to her husband and that follow
ing his death it should be turned over
to Mrs. Burg. The will Of Mr.. Booth
provides that legacy Of five dollars
be paid to Andrew Booth, brother
and that the remainder Of the estate
be turned over to Mrs. Burg. The will
provides TIT Mrs. Burg shall have the
use Of the property during her life
time, but it expressly provides that
the property shall not be pledged for
the payment Of any loan. or mortgage.
At the death Of Mrs. Burg she is given
full power to will the property to any
one she may see fit.
Mrs. Burg, who by The probate of
the two wills, will become sole heir to
one Of the finest pieces of property
in Kenosha county, is well known to
many Kenosha people. She is the di.
vorced wife of William Burg, son Of
former Postmaster A. j. Burg. Five
years ago Mrs. Burg went to Trevor
to take up the position as housekeeper
at the Booth home At that time both
Mr.. and Mrs. Booth were more than
seventy-fve years of age. Both the
husband and " fe took a great liking
to the young woman and during the last
five years of their lives the young
woman was treated as a daughter in
the household The tender care which
she showed to Mr.. and Mrs. Booth in
their declining years won for her high
regard among the people Of the com
nlunity and that she should be made
heir to the property is not surprise
to the people who were close friends
of the Booth family.
In the petitions for probate of the
two wills the value of the property is
not given, but it is declared to be in
the neighborhood of $4,000 The farm
is one of the finest stock farms in the
county and the buildings on it have
been regarded as models for the peo-
pie of the surrounding country.
Peter Fisher is named as executor
of both of the estates. 1t is not ex-
pected that there will be any contest
of the will. Mrs Burg is now in
charge of the big farm at Trevor.

WOULD GUST BEN LINDSEY.
Denver Women Begin Movement
Against Juvenile Court Judge.

DENVER, July 6.-Circular Iettt IS
designed to create public sentiment
against Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the
juvenile court. and which may lead to
a petition for his recall, have been dis
tributed in Denver. Behind the move
ment are number Of prominent wom-
an politicians, headed by Gen. Mary
Elizabeth Bates
The women said the juvenile court
is a farce: that it is maintained at a
useless expense to the city and county
and state. and that instead of imnrov-
ing the moral standard of Juveniles a
worse condition now prevails among
children in Denver than before the
court was created
