As the result of negotiations by the attorneys, the case of Reginia Burris Kupke vs. the estate of the late B. J. Gifford, was compromised Tuesday and she is given $3,500 in addition to the $5,000 left her in Mr. Gifford’s will. Mrs. Kupke begun action in court here several months ago, through John A. Dunlap, her attorney, to set aside the W will, and alleged that she was the illegitimate daughter of the decedent. The case was taken to Newton county on change of venue, and was recently taken from Newton to Benton county. The setting aside of this will, in which the plaintiff was bequeathed $5,000, would have left a former will, in which she was left nothing, in force, and it also would have had to be contested. The settlement of this case clears the way for the executor, George H. Gifford, of Tipton, to sell the remainder of the Gifford estate lands and close up the estate.
