rumor that the heirs of the late w.

Baraboo receiving the $4,000 which

| the construction of road between
| Baraboo and Devils Lake State park
| 1t is stated on good authority that
! neither of the heirs is in favor of
+, contest, but desires that the provi-
sions of the will be carried out.
| There was some talk of the Wiscon-

| road and the omission of the bicycle
path. For that reason the heirs have
! asked the court to have the whole
| matter reduced to writing that there
/ may be no misunderstanding as to
/ the future. They have expressed
wish that the road be built with the
| money provided by the will, and that
/ they will not oppose the execution of
the last testament of the deceased.
