administration of the estate Tt has
been limited that the Utah men inter-
ested in the case would carry it to the
Supreme Court of the United States
for decision. The opinion of Justice
Winslow is so clear that it is thought
that it will go a long way toward
defeating such a plan.
No added assets of the estate have
been uncovered, according to Admins
traitor Hastings and many people have
declared that the litigation of the past
two years has been continued with a
view of keeping the famous Durkee
claim alive in order that it might be
used for speculative purposes. The
appointment of the Kenosha man as
administrator de bonis non two years
ago put an enl to the speculations
Hastings has since declared that if
there is anything to the Durkee claims
that it will not be made the basis of
speculation. Tt is claimed that few, if
any, of the men who have been pushing
the fight out in Utah would be entitled
to any part of the estate, even if the
famous millions were located and
recovered.
