Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Claim of Frank Harris against the Estate of Carrie W. Harris, Deceased.

Opinion:
Dykman, J.
Frank Harris was the husband of Carrie W. Harris, who died in December, 1888. After her death he presented a claim against her estate of §2,170.89, which was disputed and referred to a referee under the statute. The referee after a trial before him decided against the claim and a judgment has been entered against the claimant for costs.
The claim was entirely destitute of merit and the finding of the referee is amply supported by the evidence, and the judgment should be affirmed, with costs.
