 HANDLES ESTATE OF VALENTINE
Property Valued at $60,- 900, May All Be Ab-
 sorbed by Claims

J. F. Mullen, president of the B. M Behrends Bank. today was appointed administrator of the estate of the late Emery Valen- tine. The bank is one of the chief creditors of the estate.
 MT. Mullen's action is in conse- quence of the recent death of Err nest Lee Pulver, who was executor and principal heir of the Valen- tine properties whose demise occur ring before the settlement of the Valentine estate, left it without any person to care for it.
 MT Pulver left a will making his heirs Ernestine Pulver, a niece, and Effa Hamilton, also a niece, both of Jamestown, N. Y. He possessed nothing other than his expectancy in the Valentine estate, and so there will be no Pulver estate to probate until after settlement and distribution of the Valentine es- tate.
 Amount is Pr0blematicaI
 Completion of legal proceedings in connection with the Valentine properties will take about three or four months. What the Pulver estate will receive is problematical
 According to the petition filed by MT. Mullen through his attor- ney, Grover c. Winn, in the pro bate court, of which United States Commissioner Charles Sey is judge the value of the Valentine estate real and personal is approximately $60,000 There are heavy debts against it. One of the large claims against it is claim of MT. Pull yer for wages for number oi years that he was in the employ ol MT. Valentine.
 May Not Be Much
 If and when all claims, inclu6inl MT. Pulver's against the Valentine estate are allowed, there may not be much of it remaining for MT Pulver as heir. His estate may consist almost entirely of what ht receives on his wage claim against the Valentine estate
 MT. Pulver, in his will, named as executrix his niece, Ernestins Pulver, but until the settlement O the Valentine estate, three or foul months hence, there will be nt property in the Pulver estate, ant she may defer her application t' the probate court for the appoint ment as executrix until there ! something of which she can tak' charge.
