  and residents of the State of Arkansas.

  Complainants Mary J. Griffin and M. E. Tice are married women and bring
  this petition by their husbands A. Jl. Griffin and W. J. Tice.

               Witness

  Petitioners under should show unto your Honor, that C. W. Bowden departed
  this life in 1883 intestate, and leaving surviving him his widow E. D.

  2.     "      M. E. Tice      "    "
  3. Defendant S. E. Bowden a son
  4.     "     Jas. N.   "  "  "
  5.     "     F. P.     "  "  "

  At the time of his death said C. W. Bowden was the ownder in fee simple of
  106 acres of land lying and being in the 12th Civil Distrct of Lawrence
  County Tennessee.  Said land is composed of two tracts or parts of tracts.
  One tract containing 20 acres was conveyed to said Bowden Feb. 28, 1855
  by John Bowden and deed registered in Book "M" Page 101 R.O.L.C.  The
  other tract containing 86 acres was conveyed to said C. W. Bowden July 27,
  1852 by G. W. Barnett and deed recorded in Book "L" Page 93 R.O.L.C.
  Both tracts ___ continguous and formone entire tract.  For a full
  description of said land reference is here made to said deeds.

  Recently petitioner A. J. Griffin has been appointed Adm. upon the estate

  divided equally between all the heirs of said C. W. Bowden, decd.
  Petitioners here exhibit a list of said articles, marked Exhibit A, but
  were not copied and asked to be considered a part of this petition.

  Petitioners further charge that if said S. E. Bowden is permitted to re-
  tain said articles, he should be made to account for same in a final
  settlement between the heirs.

  Your petitioner A. J. Griffin knows of no valid debts outstanding against
  the estate of C. W. Bowden, Decd. and his only object for taking out

  goes to all the heirs of C. W. Bowden alike, though petitioners are
  informed that deft. S. E. Bowden will undertake to appriate all of said
  rent.

  Petitioners further show that said land is so situated that it can not be
  advantage be divided in kind between petitioners and defendants, but
  that it will be to the manifest interest if all the parties to sell said
  land and divide the proceeds of sale.

  Premises considered, petitioners pray that the necessary processings
  and publication be made requiring the defendants to be and appear on the
  second Monday of the next term of this court and answer the allegations in
  this petition without oath.  That on final hearing your Honor decree a
  sale of said land and order an equal division of the proceeds among the
  heors of C. W. Bowden decd, after a settlement has been made between the
  Adm. and heors, charging advancements & C and for general relief in the _____
