Property of Wealthy Pioneer to be Divided Among Four Children. The will of the late Judge H. G. Struve, formerly mayor of Seattle, and for many years prominent as attorney and on the bench, was filed yesterday in the probate court. According to its terms the entire estate is dividend equally among the four children, with the exception of Mary Lascelle Struve, the unmarried daughter, who receives $20,000 in addition to her fourth of the remainder of the estate. The other children are Capt. Harry K. Struve, engaged in maritime business at Shanghai, China; Frederick K. Struve, a partner in John Davis & Co, local real estate dealers, and Mrs. Helen Struve Meserve, whose husband is in charge of the mines of Leigh S. J. Hunt at Chemulpo, Korea. The four heirs were also appointed executors without bond, but Mrs. Meserve, on account of her nonresidence, will not be able to serve, and Judge Frater placed the administration of the estate in the hands of the other three. During the late years the property has been almost entirely converted into Seattle real estate, of which judge Struve owned many valuable pieces at the time of his death about two months ago.
