PRECEDENT
Chinook Opinion)

Chinook Opinion)
A case for which there was lit,
tie precedent was decided by
Judge F. E. Stranahan of Fort
Benton, sitting for Judge Elwell,
in an opinion filed here Tuesday.
In the decision Judge Stranahan
held that Edgar Pitman, the lille
ultimate son of Milo Fentz, was
entitled to the estate of his father.
Fentz was a World War veteran
and was killed overseas and the
estate in question consisted of his
war risk insurance.
The administrator, H. s. Kline.
proposed to distribute the estate
to the brothers and sisters OF the
deceased. Mrs. Pearl Pitman Wat
son, foster mother of the child, OBJ
jected to the distribution and ask
ed that the estate go to the child
The decision centered around
two points. First whether the
father legitimated the natural o
during his life time by acknow-
lodging his parent-hood publicly,
by receiving him as a member of
his family and by treating him as
a legitimate child. The court de-
cided that Milo Fentz had done
those things.
The second point vas whether
the adoption of the child by
strangers had cut off his right to
inherit from his natural father.
Tie court held that in this case it
had not.
Pearl Pitman Adopts
The proof showed that Fentz
mad acknowledged the paternity
of the child publicly on the street
in Chinook to friends of his. The
child had been adopted by Mrs.
Pearl Pitman. He endeavored to
persuade her to allow him 20
adopt the child after he had learn
ed of the sons identity. He moved
into the house where the child
was. Mrs. Pitman refused to give
the child up. Then he asked her
to marry him and she consented
and they became affianced. He
furnished money for the support
Of the child and the foster moth
ar. He was about to be mustered
.nto service in the World War at
his time but made plans for their
marriage. They were living at
Wolf Point but he was %entrained
It Chinook. The marriage plans
we're interrupted and Fentz went
,ver seas, where he was killed.
The court held that these acts full
lied the statutory requirements
# legitimating the natural child.
Natural Child May Inherit
The matter of whether the adop-
ion by Mrs. Pitman cut off the !
light of inheritance was a legal {
uestion on which there was little =;
recedent. The court held that ;
the civil law and under the
Tontana statute in regard to le-
itimating a natural child, a nat :
raj child may inherit from his !
