FAMOUS WILL CASE NOW TO BE SETTLED

Caldwell Estate In Benton County to Be Settled By Agreement Is Understood in Fowler. Benton Review. We understand that all parties in the Caldwell case will get together Saturday, or in the near future to make a final settlement. It is said some kind of an agreement will be made by the trustees and executors whereby the annuities of all parties will be protected by a guarantee and the contest of the compromise made on Oct. 26th, last, will be stopped. A special session of the court will probably be held Saturday and all those interested with their attorneys, will be present and the final settle 1 metn made. We are told that an agreement has already been reached and the matter will be finally disposed of in court here Saturday. Last Wednesday Judge Berry directed the trustees and executors to discontinue paying Gracq D. Follansbee her annuity of $416 per month, until all litigation concerning the will has been settled, which meant she would probably receive nothing, as she is almost 70 years of age and in all probability will have passed out of this life when the matter is finally settled in the courts. Mrs. Follansbee is a woman in moderate circumstances and the cutting off of her income would greatly inconvenience her. Mrs. Follansbee has fought for the upholding of the will regardless of the fact that she would be the gainer financially should it be broken.
