Jennings Estate Hearing Over Sale Of 140 Acre Farm
Judge Charles A. Dewey presided in district court this morning over the Jennings estate case. Heirs contest the sale of the 140 acre farm north of Ainsworth to Harry Dye for 225 dollars per acre by executor Alva Sands, arguing possible higher bids or deferral. Sands contends higher value was not guaranteed and reflects Mr Jennings wishes. Attorneys S. W. Livingston for the executor and Wm Keeley and F. M. Molesberry for objectors appeared, with local witnesses from Ainsworth named in the record.
