The contest over the will of Henry
Riemenschneider, and the other cases
involving property that formerly be-
longed to the estate. will probably be
fully settled soon. An agreement for
settlement was reached by the attor
neys Monday when the contest on the
will was called for hearing. According
to the settlement agreed 10 the estate
will be divided about the same way
that Riemenschneider intended to di-
vide it before he made his will.
tiers, Mrs. Lena Schaper and Mrs.
Evelyn E. Bale, are TO receive eighty
acres of land in State Center town
ship. but they are to give the, estate a
mortgage on the land for $4,000 This Is
approximately the price for which
Henry Rlemenschneider sold and
decided $50 acres of land to his six
sons.
Divided Estate Before Death.
Some few years before his death
Riemanschneider gave to each Of his
sons eighty acres. AS part payment
for these farms the sons gave mort
cages back to their father These
mortgages amounting to about $4,000,
/ are the bulk OF the personal property
of the estate.
| After dividing the land among his
sons RiemeCschneider offered to divide
his remaining eighty acres in State
! Center township between his two
! daughters on the same terms at which
/ the sons had taken the other land.
! They refused to accept it. Their father
then made his will and gave each of
/ his children one-eighth of his property.
! The division under the settlement
will be in accordance with Riemen-
schneider's purpose insofar as dividing
the State Center township land be-
tween his two daughters is concerned.
Other provisions Of the settlement
are that the will IS to be admitted to
probate, and the remaining property
divided in accordance with the will.
All suits are to be dismissed. This in
cludes the contest to break the will,
and the contest to set aside the deeds
by which Riemenschneider conveyed
his land TO his sons. Irwin Riemen-
schneider, who was nominated execu-
/ tor in the will, is to be appointed.
! In addition to the daughters and
Irwin Riemenschneider the other five

LIScoMs. ELECTION FRIDAY.
Some Opposition Again Developed e
Proposed Consolidation.

Proposed Constellation.
The second election on the proposal
to consolidate rural school districts
with the town district Is to be held Fri
day. At the first election on the con-
solidation the project failed to carry.
The territory to be taken in was
changed at once and a new petition cir
culated.
There is some opposition to the con-
solidation, but just how much will not
be fully developed until the election is
in progress The threat has been made
that in case the proposal to consolidate
carries that some Of the opponents will
carry the fight into the courts If that
can be done. The chief objections
raised are based on the increase of
taxes and the distance that some of the
children will have to be hauled to
school.
