ters living at the time of' my death.
B. The remaining shares are to be divided equally
among the living children of my deceased brothers and sisters,

sire, at the time of my death, the living children of my deceased
brothers and sisters are to share and share alike on a per capita
basis and not by stirps.
III.
I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my esteemed
friend and nephew, H. H. Hutto, sole independent executor of this,
my last will and testament, and I, having full confidence in him
and in his honesty, integrity and fair dealings, direct that no
bond or other security be required of him as executor; further,
I realize that his services, experience and knowledge, will be
of great value to my estate and I desire that he lose nothing by
his services, but he be fully compensated and I direct that he
shall receive for his services in probating this will and settling
my estate one quarter of any mineral and lease money, bonuses for
any mineral lease or leases, mineral and or oil and gas royalties,
or any receipts from any mine, minerals, oil and or gas leases,
or contracts from or off of any said land of which I may die
possessed.
IV.
In the event any one of my beneficiaries hereinabove
made shall contest the probating of this will or attack any por-
tion thereof, or in any way be a part, either directly or indirect-
ly, to any legal proceedings attacking the validity of this will
or any part thereof, or seek to have said will or any provision
thereof construed in any manner different from that in which my
executor may construe same, such beneficiary or beneficiaries so
doing, shall forfeit the bequest herein made to him, her or them
and any bequest so forfeited shall revert to and become a part of
my estate.
It is my will and I direct that my executor, H. H.
Hutto, is to have a period of two years after the death of my
nurse, Viola Harris, in which to settle and finally consummate
the terms of this will.
