IN THE COUNTY COURT OF PAYNE COUNTY, STATE OF OKLAHOMA

PROBATE # 361 }
Estate of Janey Hill COMBS}
Deceased. } REPORT OF EXECUTORS
Carl Whitman & Roy Bruce }
Executors. }

Executors Carl Whitman and Roy Bruce respectfully show and report:

They received their Letters Testamentary in this cause Dec. 30th 1925,
and on said date filed and published the usual four months notice to all
persons having claims against the estate, and have filed an inventory.

That the files in the cause are missing, but that part of the files
which are recorded show the filing the will of decased, and a contest filed
by the surviving spouse W. F. COMBS, and an alleged journal entry, evidently
fostered by divers persons in an effort to sustain two purported royalty
deeds, described as follows:-

Royalty Deed dated Dec. 28th 1923, by W. F. COMBS, widower to A.E. Patrick;
conveys undivided 1/6 int. in NW ¼ Sec 4 Twp 14 N.R.5E. 160 acres, in
Lincoln County, Oklahoma, recorded Dec. 28th 1923 at Chandler, Lincoln County,
Book 62 page 262.

Royalty Deed dated Sept 23, 1924, by W. F. COMBS, widower, to Eli Bridge;
conveys undivided 1/9 int. in NW¼ Sec 4 Twp 14 N. R. 5 E. 160 acres, in Lincoln
County, Oklahoma, recorded Nov 23-1925 (after grantor's death), in the Book 64
page 640.

The above described 160 acres of land was the separate property of
deceased Janey Hill COMBS, bought outright and acquired by her prior to her
marriage to said W. F. COMBS.

That in March 1923, Janey Hill COMBS resided at Yale Okla, with her hus-
band W. F. COMBS, and their three children Wilma, William & Thomas Combs,
aged 7, 5, and 1 years, respectively; and at that time,

W. F. COMBS, owned, $20,000.00 in cash

The family homestead residence, Lots 17&18 Blk 1 Greens 2nd add'n to Town of Yale. And six lots. viz W½E½ of Lots 1,2,3&4 and all of Lots5&6 Blk 1 original Town of Yale.

Janey Hill COMBS, owned,

NW¼ of Sec 4-14-5 (160 acres) in Lincoln County, Okla. and the improved rental premises, described as Lot 13 in Blk 1 of Harriotts Re-survey of Block 1, Greens Add'n to Town of Yale.

And in said month of March 1923, the said Janey Hill COMBS, was incurably
afflicted with cancer, and she and her husband W.F. COMBS both well knew that
she was in her last illness; and she desired to make disposition of her separate
estate and property; and thereupon in the presence of the husband W. F. COMBS,
and with his full consent and approval she made and executed her will leaving and
devising to the said children her said farm of 160 acres above described as NW¼
of Sec 4-14-5 in Lincoln County, with a life use thereof in her parents C. D. and
Mary Jane HILL; and with full understanding, and in lieu of any interest in the said
farm, the said W.F. COMBS took from his wife a warranty deed to himself absolutely
of all the other real estate she possessed, to wit

the improved rental premises described as Lot 13 in Blk 1 of Harriotts Re-survey of Blk 1 Greens Addn to Town of Yale.

and recorded the deed, sold the premises to strangers to this estate, and used and
appropriated the sale proceeds to his own use.

That Jane Hill COMBS died Oct. 18th 1923.

That on Sept 23-1924 said W.F. COMBS filed his contest of the will; and on
Nov. 6th 1924 a pretended hearing and trial of the contest was had in the County
Court of Payne County, but in truth and in fact no hearing was had; a fraudlent
xxxxxx having been prepared and presented to the Court for signature as though
it was an agreed matter, and as though all the persons interested in the estate
were represented and consented to the same; said journal entry is entered and
recorded in this cause, and sets aside to said W.F. COMBS an undivided one-
third interest in said farm willed to the children.

That these executors had not then been appointed, and were not in Court,
and the children were not in Court, and the children had neither a guardian
nor guardian ad litem, and one of them nor their kin had any notice of such
pretended hearing; that the attorney who had filed the will originally, had
done nothing in the estate for almost a year; that he had no authority to appear,
and he now states that he did not appear, and that he did not sign or O.K. the
pretended agreed journal entry.

These executors further state that the alleged journal entry should be
set aside and vacated; and they respectfully submit that when a decree of
distribution is made in this cause, the entire above described farm should be
distributed to the three children, as devised under the will.
