Baseball Tomorrow Springfield vs Rock Island Twelfth Street Park Game Called a.t 3:45 PECULIAR APPLICATION OF LAWS OF INHERITANCE Dcs Moines papers publish an ac count of the demise of one .John Ilal- line, of that city, who left an estate of about $Ix.0O after all expenses were, paid, the same being held by the administrator who, under the pe culiar laws of the state, is uncertain whethed it should go to the relatives i f the deceased or to the state. The Des Moines papers claim that N. F. Peterson, of this city, an uncle, is the only living relative of this country, a statement that -Jr. Peterson himself, when seen by an Argus reporter to day, denied. The truth is that there is a brother living in this country and two sisters in Sweden. The peculiar xint in the matter is that under the laws neither Mr. Pe terson nor the brothers are likely to receive any part of the estate. The parents of the deceased when living were aliens and the law prohibits aliens from receiving the property as an, inheritance. While the brother and uncle in this country are American citizens, their connection with the tie ceased comes through the alien par ents, and therefore the supposition is that the chain of inheritance is broken and the state of Iowa will get the property in the absence of any recognized heirs.
