    In County Court to the Hon Wm. E. Wooten, Judge of the County Court of Red River County, Texas, setting in Matters of Probate the Petition of Charles H Bassano, a resident citizen of Lamar County, Texas, would respectfully represent that James Gilliam died intestate in Red River County, Texas, within the last twelve months leaving an estate consisting of lands and a small amount of personal property in Red River County of the probable value of five hundred dollars. That said Gilliam left some heirs, who will not administer on said estate.

Wherefore he prays that after due and legal notice that letters of administration may issue to your petitioner that he be appointed administrator of the estate of James Gilliam, Dec’d, and for all proper relief general and special.

    J. A. Bagby, Clerk, on behalf of Charles H. Bassano by his attorneys E. L. and R. B. Dohoney.
