Mrs. Rosters Will
Is Valid; Verdict
Ends Long Fight

The bitter court fight over the es-
tate Of the late Magdelena Rosters,
pioneer Omaha woman, who died
leaving an estate estimated to be
worth 100000, ended Monday noon
when Judge Crawford held that the
will made by her in 1907 was valid.
Several sons and daughters sur.
vived Mrs. Rosters, one faction con-
tending that the aged woman was
incompetent at the time she made
her will and decided the bulk Of. her
property to S. Elizabeth Rosters. In
and will this daughter was left the
business property at Tenth and How
ard streets valued at 100000.
Mrs. Julia Limbaugh, daughter,
and other children, contested the pro-
batting of their mothers will and
made sensational charges in court.
By Judge Crawford's decision that
the will is valid, Miss Rosters gets
the Tenth and Howard street prop
erty. The residue OF the estate, about
$4,000, goes to the five daughters
and four sons. three-hfths to the sons
and two-hfths to the daughters.

Grain exchange, made by its supefin-

grain in storage in Omaha elevators

when they took the tonic and in many
cases complete cures resulted. AS
the years rolled by, the old doctor

came out, but never found anything
that would give him the same good
results as his own preparation So
up to the very time of his death in

he gave this good old tried and true
medicine to his patients.
His two sons became doctors and
they also used this tonic in their reg.
