ATTORNEY WILL APPEAL
Takes Exceptions To Order of Rice
County Judge Of Probate

county JUDGE OF PROBATE
Faribault, May 15.-An appeal to
the district court will be taken from
the order of Probate Judge M. NJ.
Shields, slashing the attorneys fees
in the George w. Murphy will case
from $4,000 to $4,000 according to
word from Mortified, following the
issuing the order by Judge Shields
this week. The statement that an
appeal will be taken, was made by
Attorney G. w. Pye.
On the basis which he said was
customary in other cases, Judge
Shields reduced the fees asked by
Mr.. Pye from $500 to $3.50 and
those of George T. Simpson the as
sistant counsel from $500 to $3.50.
When interviewed Mr.. Pye said
that an appeal had been taken by
him to the district court, and added:
1.-THE appeal is taken because the
court has left out of consideration
the fact that whole burden Of this
law suit was placed on me indiyi-
dually, and in event 1t had been lost
it is probable that / would not only
have lost any compensation for the
service but also for money expend-
ed. The attorneys on the other side
were reputed to have been retained
at a very large contingent fee. The
city offered to pay $4,000 in settle
ment of the case at a time when at
torney's fees and expenses amount
ed to $4,000, SO 1t would have cost
them SIS 5000"
