emmett WOMAN Wins.
WILL CASE
Mrs. Francis Moore Heir to Es-
tate of Henry Shaw-Valued
at $4,000

By decision of Probate Judge Meek
handed down Tuesday evening, Mrs
Henrietta Shaw-Pederson loses all
claim upon the twenty-five thousand
dollar estate of Henry t. Shaw of
which she was on the point of OBJ
tanning a month ago. Judge Meek
admitted to probate the will of Mr..
Shaw and also the famous lost codicil.
The decision means that Mrs. Francis
Moore of Emmett will receive one
half of the $4,000 estate, and her
two sons Roy and Dorman will re-
ceive S1100 each.
Harry T. Shaw, a successful sheep
man died at Parma December 6, 1913.
His will, now produced in his own
handwriting, was made in 1905. By
its provisions eleven hundred dollars
was to be paid to each of two nephews
Roy and Dorman, and the residue of
the estate was to go to his sisters,
Mrs Minthorn and Mrs. Priscilla
More of Emmett.
Following his marriage he made a
codicil to the original will bequeath-
ing one third of the estate to his wife,
but stipulated that if she married
again she should receive nothing. This
codicil was made August 13, 1913. The
widow married some time during the
year 1914, and is now living near
Payette with her second husband. The
production of the will comes as COM
plete surprise to her.
Final settlement of the estate which
would have given the entire sum of
S24,250.60 to Mrs. Peterson was to
have been made in probate court next
Monday, March IS. Indefinite post
poned and the suit on the will and
codicil will come up in the district
court March 25.
At the hearing, strong testimony
was given by the half brothers and by
Mrs Moore, sister of Shaw, to sub
stantiate the allegation that Shaw
was much disappointed in his mar
riage In cross-examination of these
relatives it was brought out that
Shaw suspected his wife of an inten-
ton to marry again after his death. |
This testimony effectively backed up
their claim that four months before
he died he made the codicil to his will
stipulating that she should not share
in the estate if she married again.
The widow married Peterson of
Payette during the year 1914 She
had published the preliminary notices
and was asking for final decree Civ
ing all the estate to her on the ground
that Shaw left no will when, five
weeks ago, the relatives presented
the will and copy of the codicil. In
the intervening time since Shaw's
death the widow had been drawing an
allowance of S100 month from the
estate.
Finley Monroe is Mrs. Moore's at
torney in the case.

Prune Orchards in Bloom

The prune orchards are in full
bloom and are pictures Of loveIiness
in their garbs of white. The pros
poets for record breaking fruit crop
have never been equalled. Apricots
are as large as peas and are out of
danger from frost. Peaches are set
ting and another week will place them
outside the danger zone and prunes
will be safe in couple of weeks The
Emmett country, with its carpet of
green and the peach, cherry, prune
and apple orchards in full bloom is
one of surprising beauty and one not
often seen. The view from Freeze
out hill is worth going many miles to
see, and our neighbors in the Boise
valley should not miss it.
