W. A. JACK SON ASKS DIVIS-
ION J. L. JACKSON ESTATE
PURELY PERSONAL
—THE LYRIC
William A. Jackson, or Imperial
county. California, has filed suit in
the district court of Parker county,
j in which he asks for a division^ of
| the estate of the late John I* Jack
i son. between himself and J. B.
Smith, it half brpther.
Jackson asserts that the adminis-
trator, Dan E. Lydick, has no auth-
ority now to act, as an appeal was
not made, and he appeals for .a re-
ceiver. Jackson further asserts that
Sarah A. Vestal and Robert Ingersoll
Jackson, have no rights to the es-
tate, although the jury in district
court in Fort Worth decided they
were legal heirs to the estate which
John L. Jackson willed to the Spir-
itualist society.
This promises to be one of the
hardest fought and most interesting
cases to come before the court as it
will be contested from every point
of view.
