"School Farm" Sold.

The Board Of Education has sold
the so-called school farm of ten acres
south of the city to S. T: Massey, of
Robbinsdale, Mimi, for $1,000. The
board felt that the plat was a con-
tinual expense to the district, and as
the laws have changed so that it was
not a legal requirement for the agri-
cultural department it was best to dis
pose Of it. The agricultural director
has more than he can do assisting the
real farmers Of the associated dis
tricts without attempting to run an
imitation farm. Mr.. Massey expects
to plat the land, we are told.

Not Taken Seriously.


The present representative OF the
Molenaor family was permitted to
SQUAT on the land for several years,
as 10 one took his claim seriously, but
when the time came to sell he resisted
eviction and set up the claim that the
ground belonged to him, as his grand
fathers will had been wrongly inter-
preted, and it should never have been
sold without his consent.
The will and the title to the prop
erty were carefully examined by law
yers learned in the laws governing the
transfer of property, and the claim was
pronounced without merit AS 1t could
not be denied, however, that he was
grandson of William Molenaor, VINO
had been missing for many years and
had actually been born on the tract
and spent number Of years OF his
early life there. it was seen at once
that his claim had merit enough to
cause much trouble, which proved to
be the case. The Molenaor claim has
been fought through the courts OF
New York city for several years past.
and eminent lawyers have been en-
gagged on both sides.
The battle was waged over the In
depreciation to be placed on clause
in the will in which the original Mol
enaor bequeathed the ground Ito my
oldest son. David William Molenaor,
the legitimate heirs of his body or to
the nearest heirs of his body" This,
it was claimed by counsel for the
plaintiff. was not an outright bequest
to David William Molenaor the father
of the claimant. but merely a bequest
of a life interest in the ground. II
this view of the matter had been &C
cepted by the courts a sale of the
MoIenaor holdings made back in the
COS, after the disappearance of the
claimant from New York, and all sub
sequent sales would be null and void,
and Martin Montrose Molenaor. as the
nearest surviving heir of David Will
liam Molenaor. his father, would be
the real owner of the ground, which,
with all the improvements on it, is
now worth several millions of dollars.
The case was argued in the lower
ficulty was experienced in renewing
present owner. realty company, was
the supreme court to pass on the Mol
e:saor claim. The decision was adverse to
the claimant, the court refusing to
accept the Interpretation placed by
him and his counsel on the clause in
his grandfathers will devising the
ground to David William Molenaor
While the claim made to ownership
did not seem to have much merit, there
was enough in it to prevent the sale
or mortgaging of the ground for sew
eral years while the claim was fought
out in court by high-priced counsel.
The end is not yet, however. for it is
promised that the case will be ap-
pealed.
