Omaha Attorneys File
Contest of Will.

Mr.. Elmer Feldt of Lincoln, Ne
braska, Saturday, September 4th,
filed q will contest in the District
Court Of Polk County, at 0seeola,
Nebraska in the estate of Charles
j. Peterson, valued at $4,000. Pc
terson died in November, 1886 at
Axtell, Nebr. Mr.. Feldt employed
John Adams, IT,, and Ralph w.
Adams, colored attorneys of 0ma-
ha, and w. V. Norton, attorney of
Osceola, whose father served in the
legislature with John Adams, ir.,
to bring this contest.
Charles j. Peterson had inherit
ed most of his $4,000 from his ia
Their, Jonas Peterson, who immi-
grated to America from Sweden. At
the time the will was made, May
II, 1917, Charles J. Peterson was
incompetent to make a will and was
subjected to undue influence, the
attorneys contend. Peterson was
under guardianship for mental in
competency at the time, being con
fined in the Bailey Sanitarium at
Lincoln.
Peterson had no known relatives,
except Mr.. Elmer Feldt, a second
cousin now living in Sweden. The
estate was distributed by the will
with the exception of a few small
legacies, to the following institu-
tons and agencies: Stromsburg
School District, $4,000; Benedict
School District, $1,000; Swedish
Orphanage, $1,000; City of Strom-
burg for poor, $4,000; University
of Nebraska, $1,000; Swedish
church at Stromsburg, $500; City
of Stromsburg for park improve
ments, $1,000; active churches of
Stromsburg Cemetery, $1,000; Sc
ven Day Adventists' Conference,
& 900; Kearney Tuberculosis hos
pital, $1,000; Lincoln Orthopedic
hospital, $1,000; Soldiers and Sail
ors' Home, Milford, $4,000; Ne
braska School for Blind, Nebraska
City, $4,000; Nebraska School for
Deaf, Omaha, $4,000; Nebraska
Home for Dependent Children, Lin
coin, $4,000; State Board of Edu-
eational lands in trust for high
schools, in equal shares, the residue
of the estate; and among other le-
gacies, 120 ares of land and $4,000
to Elmer Feldt, with the provision
that if he contest the will in any
way, his legacy shall be forfeited.
Peterson was known as "Bare-
foot Charley" because he wore no
even in winter weather. He
lived on his farm in a small dug
out without any furniture, and slept
ON a bed of straw. The attorneys
that the evidence clearly
that Peterson was incom-
at the time he made the will
and that the estate should go to
Peterson's heirs at law.
John Adams, ir., and Ralph w.
Adams had already been employed
by Mr.. Feldt to file an appeal in
The Supreme Court in another case
against George Wanek, president
Of the Farmers State Bank of Os-
.eeola, involving a claim Of S14,500,
as money lost by Mr.. Feldt in said
bank. This appeal was filed in the
Supreme Court on the 22nd of July,
by Adams and Adams, after Mr..
Feldt had discharged his former at
torneys.
