Legacy of sf00, 900 to Wife.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 12.-The briefs
of attorneys in the contest over the

filed and the case is now up TO Judge

ed large tracts OF land in Mississippi
and in Virginia. The entire value of
the estate is considerable in excess Of
500, 900.
After the will had ben allowed by
the county court. on the 18TH day OF
June, 1914, the brothers and sisters
of the deceased instituted contest
proceedings, claiming that the tesla
tor was incompetent at the time OF
making of the will. They also allege
undue influence on the part of his
wife and further alleged that the
county court of Minnenaha county

erty was all left TO the widow, Mrs.
