They did not spend any time investigating the property affairs of Mr. McKenzie although they conferred with his friends. It. was expected, local friends say, that they would look into the matter since they were beneficiaries under the will but they did not show any dissatisfaction with the terms of the will. The three children of his second wife were left $50,000 each by Mr. McKenzie. They are Alexander Jr., Jeanette and Thomas Oakes, the lat-| ter being ‘the youngest and being! named after a former president of the Northern Pacific.
