Another alleged misuse of the pro

the Pierce county probate court, was
brought to light today when Attorney

persons in Norway, asked for a reopen

Larson died in 1912 leaving cash
amounting to So, SO, and with no rel

time over 5000 has been spent in bury
ing Larson and settling up the estate,
including $500 attorney fees, a 1898
funeral, and $175 monument.
Two weeks ago the remainder of the
estate, consisting of $2406.50, was es-
cheated to the state by Judge Clifford,
on the grounds that there were no
heirs. Today Attorney Sorley, who had

of the fact that heirs were living in
