WARDS ESTATE TO FAMILY
Late chicagoan Fails to Leave Any of
His Wealth to Charity.

Chicago, Dec. 26.-None of tie mil
lions of the late A. Montgomery Ward
goes to any person or institution out
side his family, according to a digest
of the will given out by his attorney,
George P. Merrick.
Briefly, after certain blocks of stock
in the mail order house are bequeathed
to his nephews, William c., Charles
H., James W., George A. and Robert J.
Thorne, $4,000 is left to various rela-
tiyes, two-thirds of the residue to the
widow, and the other third to the
widow in trust for the only child, Miss
Marjorie Ward.
. Though the general impression has
been that the estate is worth any
where from $1O,0000O0 to $20,0O0,00O,
Mr.. Merrick declares that it probably
will not exceed 100000.
The widow, Mrs. Elizabeth ]. Ward,
is made sole executrix, without bond.
These are the requests:
