THE WILL CONSTRUED.

_________________

Judge Kinne Construes the Sanders Will.

In the case of Morton F. Case, administrator, etc, vs. Caroline H. Sanders, Judge Kinne this morning made a decree, all the parties consenting, "That all of the property which now belongs to the estate of said deceased be divided between Adah Sanders as a named legatee in said will and the nephews and nieces of said deceased, (and their heirs by right of representation) who were living at the time of the execution of the will which date was December, 27, 1881, share and share alike except as to the nephew, James A. Sanders and his heirs for whom specific provision was made in said will, and who by the terms of the will do not share in the residue, and it is further ordered adjudged and decreed, that George J. Sanders, son of Jerome Sanders who died previous to the execution of said will, has no interest in said estate and takes nothing by the terms of said will." The personal estate remaining shall be distributed among the beneficiaries and then legal heirs and representatives according to the laws of distribution and the proceeds of the sale of the real estate to be divided according to laws of descent. The administrator Morton F. Case

is authorized to sell the real estate as his judgment deems best John P. Kirk and the firm of Warner, Codd & Warner were each allowed $50 for their services. The contest in the case was the construction of a will. The heirs to the estate are much scattered, one being a soldier at Manila.
