Tho estate Of Ross q. Peterson,
who was killed in an automobile &C
cident near Deming, N. M, Jan. 81.
probably will not be disposed OF
under the terms Of the will. because
the instrument was drawn in 1916.
prior to the second marriage Of Mr..
Peterson. Tho two daughters, Mrs.
Marian Robertson. OF EPaso. Tex.
and Mrs. Dicta Maxwell. Of Houston.
Tex. are sole beneflciaries under the
will, but q petition, asking for her
distributive share has been filed by
Mrs. Lena Peterson, the widow. The
will has been admitted to probate
in district court. The estate, ac-
cording to tho petition filed by Mrs.
Peterson has an estimated value OF
$4,000. 1t includes realty in Mar
shall and Tama counties and $4,000
of life insurance.
A. H. Conant, Of Toledo, nominated
as executor without pond, under the
will. was appointed executor by the
court, but was required to give bond
in the sum Of $1,000.
Property Left to Children.
Life insurance Of $1,000, Is left to
each Of the daughters, and the realty
is divided between the two. with the
provision that neither may sell, dis
pose Of or incumber the land before
arriving at the age Of 40. In the
event that either should die before
her 10th anniversary her share Is
left to the surviving sister, and If
both should die before reaching the
beneficiary age, the property would
be divided between two nieces and
two nephews Of Peterson. in the
persons Of Lois Conant, Faye Grif-
fifth, Hart Smith and John Smith.
The age stipulation is similar to
that made in the will of the late
John Peterson, father Of Ross c.
Peterson, whose property was left
to the son and a daughter, the latter,
Mrs. Walter Smith, OF this city, who
were to enjoy the income but not the
right to dispose Of the property until
they had reached the age Of 60. The
original will provided for the bene-
ficiary age of 40, but this was chang
ed to 60 years in tho oodicil.
Requests Of Real Estate.
A residence property at HOS West
Main street, that was bequeathed to
Peterson by his father. and was sold
by Peterson to w. L. Robinson, after
Peterson's will was made, he be-
queathed to his elder daughter, Mrs
| Robertson. In addition Mrs. Robert
son is bequeathed l76 acres in lama
county.
To the younger daughter, Mrs
Maxwell, he bequearhed an eighty
| acre tract in Tama county, twenty
acres in Marion township, just with
in the borders of Marshall county,
and 21O acres in Faulk county, South
Dakota.
Widows Allowance Sought.
In addition to her petition asking
for her distributive share in the
estate, Mrs. Peterson has filed a peti-
| ton for q widows allowance for the
first year following her husbands
death.
The will. which bears tho date o.
July %, 1916, was made prior to the
testator's second marriage, and no
codicil was attached making pro-
vision for the widow. No later will
has been found and 1t seems certain
none was drawn.
