REACH AGREEMENT
IN SMITH WILL CASE
INVOLVING MILLIONS

Roekland, Maine. April 1.-THE
Smith will case involving the mil
lions Of the richest family in New
England was not aired before a
Knox county Jury today. agreement
having been reached by the counsel
after an extended hearing in cham
bers. On his return to the court
room. Associate Justice John A Nor
rill announced that the matter had
been settled and that there would be
no further action at this time.
The so-called "lost will' Of Mrs,
Cprdelia Murray was disallowed. the
decision Of Adelbert L. Miles. judge
OF Probate. being reversed. Her es-
tate is said to have been valued at
only about $4,000. after Mrs. Muir
rays gifts to William S. Bishop,
amounting to approximately $4,000,
had been made.
This case derives it's importance
from the fact that the estate had
made q claim of $4S5,000 against the
, unsettled estate Of her brother, the
late Francis Smith. Had the lost
| will' been allowed, the residue OF
the estate would have gone to Mr.
Bishop after q number of small be-
quests had been made.
The terms of today's settlement
! were jealously guarded by both sides
except the statement that Mr.. Bishop
| made no claim whatever except a
desire to see Mrs. Murray's wishes
carried out.
Two motions to dismiss the ap-
peals had been filed in the case OF
Benjamin F. Smith appellant from
| the decree Of the judge of probate
| under which Serene T. Kimball had
been named as special administra-
| tor of the Francis Smith estate.
In the case Of Benjamin F. Smith
| as residuary legatee, Mr.. Kimball's
motion to dismiss was sustained and
! the appeal was dismissed. In the
case of Benjamin F. Smith as exec
| utor of the will Of Francis Smith
his brother, the appeal was sus-
tanned and the decree of the judge
| of probate was reversed.
Mr.. kimballS petition was dis
| missed without prejudice to the right
| to file n new petition under the sta
tutes. This dismissal is understood
| to have been on the ground that the
| court had no Jurisdiction to deter
| mine the real issue between the
| parties.
The matter Of joint tenancy be.
tween the Francis Smith estate and
: the George Warren Smith estate was
| not determined by these proceedings
or the inheritance tax which the
| state would receive.

REGIME OF PROTECTION
Wind WITH RAIN
STORM CAUSES SOME
DAMAGE Wire Lines

Starting about 8 o'clock Monday
forenoon with q cold rain which dur
ing the first half hour was more than
half sleet, the storm increased in in
tensity and in precipitation through
out the day and lasting into the
night hours caused some apprehen-
sion as to the possibility of the water
reaching freshet pitch in the Kenne-
bee river. The rainf,ll was accom-
panied by wind Of high velocity,
which during the daylight hours
blew forcefully from about every
point Of the compass.
The wind wrecked more or less
havoc about Augusta and outlying
sections and the local distribution
lines Of the Central Maine Power
Company suffered from falling trees
and branches. In at least three in
stances certain sections were with
out power or light over a period of
several hours.
In the early evening the water in
the kennebec river began to show
an appreciate rise in level, but OBJ
servers did not anticipate flood con-
ditions unless the heavy rains con-
tinued over a several days duration.
1t is understood that there is but
little snow in the North woods and
a repetition Of the freshet of the
last Of April and the first of May a
year ago is not expected.
The electric power and lights in
the Riverside Drive section were
down from II o'clock in the morn
ing until about Z in the evening as
the result Of the Telling of a big
tree across the distribution line near
the Broadacres farm. Similar diff
Guilty was experienced on the Insane
Hospital and Togus circuits. when a
large maple tree was blown across
the wire about 2 o'clock.
Throughout the early evening and
until 9 o'clock all Hallowell was in
darkness. because the distribution
line from the Pennington station
was hampered by the blowing down
Of a tree at Louden Hill.
Reports from the lake districts
were that the all day rain of Mon
day was most welcome as the water
low. 1t was also pointed out that
with the going Of snow this Spring
the frost had been disappearing also
and the ground in many places was
too dry to give the sprouting and
growing things a fair start. The
downpOur lessened considerably after
10 o'clock last evening. though rain
continued to fall intermlttently.
