R.L. Morland returned Sunday morning from
An interesting case came up for hearing in the probate court
Tuesday, when a hearing was had in the petition of Lee Sahlbom, minor, through
his guardian, John Salhbom, who made application for a share of the property
left by his grandmother at her death. The case is somewhat complicated and has
brought out a number of peculiar circumstance, and is the outgrowth of
litigation in the Elof Nordquist estate. It appears that Mr. Nordquist left a
will, which was contested in probate court and declared valid and the case was
appealed to the district court, that tribunal affirming the decision of the
probate court. The will it seems did not make provision for the widow to the
extent that she would have been entitled by law had her husband failed to make a
will. She, being mentally unsound, her guardian failed to take the necessary
steps to secure her legal dower, and the widow's share of the property is the
point of contest now, the petition being to invest the minor heir with his full
rights in the premises.
