THE WILLIAMS WILL FILED
Large Estate is Disposed of and but
Few Requests are Made. Estate
TO be Settled in Five Years.

The last will and testament of the
late w. w. Williams was filed in the
Churchill county district court Fri
day afternoon. Owing to the fact
that the holdings involved are large
ly sheep and must be moved within
chort time to ranges in other coun-
ties, an effort will be made to hasten
the process of probating. The will
recites the fact that the testator
married at Austin, Lander county, in
August, 1881, and that all his hold
ings were community property, one
| half belonging to the surviving wild
ow, and for that reason no attempt
was made to dispose of the same by
will.
John p, and Miss Cora Williams
and Mrs. w. A. Keddie, children of
the testator, were named as executor
and exeeutrices of the will and 1t is
stipulated that the estate must be
closed within five years. The will
was executed on January 3rd, 1914
The bequests are few In number.

of $4,000 are set aside for Rose
