Hill 1s & man of 75 years and he has been a petitioner in district court| that he might get a little out of the estate | during his lite time. Lew Hill left a pecullar will in which he created a flve-year trust, naming his brothers, James G. Hill, John Hill, sr., and | | the children of his deceased sister as the prospective beneficiaries. John Hill, jr., a| nephew, was named trustee. The will did not signify whether James HIll and John Hill were to receive any in- come from the estate during the five years and John Hill, Jr., refused to disburse any- thing. Now the court has ruled that James Hill 1s entitled to the income on one-third of the $350,000 and the others similrly. A point was raised as to whether James G. Hill, Jobn Hill, sr., and the others are beneficlaries at present because of the ambiguous wording of the will which reads, “Give, devite and distribute at the end of the five years to my natural heirs,” The question arose “natural heirs now?" or “natural heirs five years hence?’ Judge Sutton has held for the former Interpreta- tion. MAGAZINE AGENT KEEPS AWAY FROM DETECTIVES 01a Story is Told by Women Who Pay Subscriptions for Paper that Never Comes. A crook now working in Omaha needs a manager badly.

Representing himself to be the agent of a well known fashion magazine, he ob- tained the names of Miss Agnes Helding and Miss Viola Wagner, employes of a mil- linery establishment. He then called at thelr homes ard insisted that they had directed him to call for the subseription money. “Never heard of it. Guess my daughter has the money to take It if she wants it, answered one of the mothers. “Your mother sald for you to subscribe,” declared the “agent,” calling at the mil- linéry house.

The soreness has been worked up as far | as it has gone because certain leaders m} the mayor's organization have recently been taken for “come-ons” while passing through the streets.

While going about his busincss, a spectacle peddler moved up on his starboard side and whis- pered that he had “just found this pair of 2old eyeglasses, and you can have 'em for a dollar.” “I could hardly belleve that I was hear- ing well,” said this unrequited potentate, “g0 I took the man to the Dahlman elub rooms and asked the boys If I had any of the marks of a rube about me. They seemed to think I had, for they gave me the laugh in chorus, and while T was argu- ing the matter they let the eyeglass fakir get away.” Butler insists that other members of the democratic end of the clty government have been approached in the same way. “Even Tom Fiynn was tackled by one of theso chaps, and he almost bought before he woke up,” says the gas inspector. Flynn would not admit that he had beer picked up as “soft,” and the mayor will not say who has filed the kick with him.
