WHO DIED FIRST?
Attorneys Visit DEBORAH i'm Interest
Hobart Estate.

Last week two attorneys from
Minnea polls, one representing the
heirs of Mrs Hobart and the other
tla heirs of Mr.. Hobart, the people
acc,d on the south Madison road
week ago Sunday, were in DEBORAH
looking up what facts they could
learn about the accident Mr.. Willis,
Mr.. Hobart's partner was also
here. They were trying to establish
who died first, the man or woman. 1t
is reported that Mrs. Hobart was
worth about $4,000 and Mr. Hobart
about $4,000.
/, In Minnesota, in case the couple
have no children, and one of them
die, leaving an estate, the estate goes
to the surviving spouse. These people
had no children, both were wealthy
| in their own right. The presumption
seems universal that in such cases,
| if no other evidence of proof as to
who died first, the husband would be
presumed to outlive the wife, the wo-
man being weaker. Therefore it is
quite important to secure evidence in
this instance as to who died first. One
of the attorneys was taken to Charles
City by T. j. Qualley in a Chandler
car last Friday They left DEBORAH af-
ter the 9:1O train pulled out and
beat the train into Charles City by
quite a margin. The attorney went
there to interview Banker Odds, who
assisted in getting the wrecked car
off of Mr.. and Mrs. Hobart. Reginald
Pearson, of DEBORAH, was also one OF
THE first to view the accident, and his
Ievidence was also sought.
We take the following from the
Minneapolis Tribune of Saturday: s
Conflicting claims to the estate
left by Mrs. VIM. P. Hobart, killed
with her husband in an automobile
accident near DEBORAH, Iowa, . last
week will be heard in probate court
by Judge Dahl on Sept 20.
Mrs. Gertrude Platz, mother OF
Mrs Hobart, and Geo. F. Hobart,
brother of the deceased husband,
filed petitions in probate court for
probation of the estate, Friday Mrs.
Platz declared she was the only heir
to the estate of $4,000, asserting
Mr.. Hobart died first, his estate re-
verting to his wife and through her
to her heirs Mr.. Hobart set up the
claim that Mrs. Hobart died first,
her estate thus passing to her hus-
band and through him to his heirs.
