ing the announcement that he would

the convenience OF the lawyers,
Neither W. J. Hand, for the Win

at once as both sides apparently are
eager to have the question OF right
to sell the property disposed of with
out any unnecessary delay.

sets forth that AL Of the bequest

ter has been paid to that city. with
