Refused Claim.

Probate Judge Bush in a decree
denies the petition made by Car.
rie Z. Calkins, that her daughter Muriel
E. Cslkins. share in the estate of her
grandfather, the late Leyi Calkins of
Owosso. The court holds that Harry
Calkins, father of Muriel E. Calkins,
had been dead several years before the
will Of the late Leyi Cslkins had been
executed, and that this fact offsets the
legal claims of the attorneys for the
grandchild
In regard to the testimony that the
omission of the granddaughter name
from the will was not intentional on
the part of the grandfather, the court
holds that the bulk of the testimony
shows that the grandfather did not in
tend to include the child in his will
The estate, which is valued at SO, 900, is
to be divided equally among the fol.
lowing children: Harriet E. Smith,
John c. Calkins, May Temple. Floyd
and Archie Calkins.
