Hoover Is Impostsr and Not Entitled
to Share.

Des Moines, Jan. 15.-S. +. Hoover's
claim Of relationship to the late Mar
garet McHugh of Ida county, is know
ingly false and he therefore has no
claim on her estate, in the opinion Of
the supreme court, which handed down
| it's decision today on the case OF S. I.

fected the claimant, s. /. Hoover.
The case has been attracting deep
interest in Ida county and vicinity.

found that she had left her property
, to D. H. Hendricks. James A. Sim
mons and J. H. Meyers. with the
larger part of it going to Hendricks.

Ntzhugh,, Of Ida county. Mrs. McHugh
had been the wife of Pembroke Hoover.

Of their Child was awarded to her.
The child made his home with his
grandparents at Cadillac. Mich, and
when his mother died had grown to
manhood
When he learned that all he was
left of her estate was $4,000, Robert
Leroy started to contest the will. D..
II. Hendricks, the executor and the
one to whom the larger share of the
property had gone under the terms
of the will. made a contract with
Hoover giving him land to the value
OF 800 900 and $4,000 in cash il he
would relinquish further claims to the
estate. But before tins contract had
been fulfilled in came another party
claiming to be s. I. Hoover, who said
his father was the son Of Mrs, Nc
Hugh. Hendricks thereupon refused
to pay Robert Leroy Hoover his part
Of the estate as agreed upon until the
identity Of this other claimant was
established.
