FOUNTAIN PARK STARTS WITH FINE SUNDAY CROWD.

Every Cottage Occupied, litany Tents On the Grounds, and Everything Points to Big Success. (By Our Special Correspondent.) Sunday at Fountain Park was a distinct success. It was the best first Sunday in the history of Fountain Park, surpassing the successes of former years. The attendance at Sunday school was good, and the morning sermon by Dr. H. L. Calhoun was worth coming many miles to hear. Mrs. A. B. Waltz made her first appearance and all are grateful to the management for having secured her. She is surely mistress of her art. Dr. Thotnas B. Terhune delighted all with his lecture, “The Land of Good Enough.’’ He made one proud to know that he was an American. The Bertha Wooden Concert Orchestra gave one of their famous concerts at 3:30 p. m., and another again at 8 o’clock. Never in the history of Fountain Park has there been such an outlook for the complete success of the assembly as there is for 1911. As early as one week before the opening a number of families opened their cottages, among these being Charles Martin and family and Rev. Bennett and family, of Kentland. All the cottages were rented and there was a demand for many more. There are more tents than have ever been erected on the grounds before. The hotel management, Mrs. Hopkins and son, of Goodland, promises to give the best possible service. Among the new members of the big Fountain Park family we may mention Mrs. Lowe, of Monticello; Mr. and Mrs. Mel Julian, of White county, and Chris Roush, of Remington. The management has made some splendid improvements, among them the erection of a new store room, which has an ideal location. The following guests are registered at Fountain Park hotel: J.

Sought to Cut Grandchildren Off With Small Inheritance.

Attorney George A. Williams went to Paxton, 111., this Tuesday morning, where he will look after the interest of Mrs > Maggie Karsten, of this city, in the settlement of the estate of her deceased husband’s father. Mrs. Karsten’s husband was accidently killed about three years ago and she was left with three small children. Since that time both of her husband’s parents have died. The elder Karsten, John by name, was worth about

SBO,OOO and had four children. Three are living, the father of Mrs. Maggie Karsten’s children being the only direct heir dead. This would give the three children a division of $20,000 of the estate, but the will provided only SI,OOO for each of theSft children, and left the other property to the three living children. Mr. Williams is contending that the will should be otherwise construed and hopes to have the court interpret it to give the three grandchildren their full share of the estate. If he fails he will then proceed to have the will set aside and

the property divided according to law. The other heirs have already offered i a compromise, offering $2,000 to each' of the children instead of SI,OOO, but this offer was not considered, and the attorney hopes to procure for their heirs their rightful share of their grandfather’s estate.
