 To Contest Suit.
 Heirs of the late Patrick Coughlin, whose estate was inventoried at over $50,0O0, have instructed the admin. istrator, Mayor James Cray of Bris- tol, to engage counsel to contest the suit of Frank J. and Matilda Lord, husband and wife, who are claiming damages of $1,300. Papers in the action have been served on the ad- ministrator and the suit is made re- turnable before the court of com- mon pleas during the Septem Der term. It is understood that the heirs are opposed to any compromise by which the Lords can collect a dollar from the estate and the suits will probably be fought to a finish.
 As was noted in the Herald some time ago Mrs. Lord presented bill against the estate for $950, claiming. that Coughlin was indebted to her for that amount at the time of his death. In her bill, the principal item was for $932 for meals for eight years. She also included items for washing and ironing and mending. Her husbands claim is for garden ing and other work which he did around the Coughlin place and for which he declares he was never com pensated. He presented bill of $35O.
 The couple declare that they never presented a bill to Coughlin while he lived because he had promised to remember them in his will, they hav- ing understood that they were to get the house in which they live after his death.
 Coughlin died without leaving a will and arrangements are now being made to have his wealth distributed among twenty of his nieces and ne- phews, his nearest relatives.
 Mayor Cray has refused to honor the suit is the result. Attorney w. J. Malone of Bristol is counsel for the plaintiffs.
