ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
In the District Court of Howard County, Nebraska
In the matter of the estate of Jens Danielsen, deceased
This cause came on for hearing upon the petition of Alexander Danielsen, administrator of the estate of Jens Danielsen, deceased, praying for a license to sell lots 7, 8 and 9, in block 113, in the town of Covington, Dakota county, Nebraska, or a sufficient amount of the same to bring the sum of $120.00 for the payment of the debts allowed against said estate and the costs of administration, there not being sufficient personal property to pay said debts and expenses. It is therefore ordered that all persons interested in said estate appear before me at St. Paul, Neb., on the 17th day of February, 1904, at 10 o'clock a.m. to show cause why a license should not be granted to said administrator to sell so much of the above described real estate of said deceased as shall be necessary to pay said debts and expenses.

J. N. Paul, Judge of the District Court."
