to allow Charles Pilstrom, a 25-year-old? man,

a guardian, and, desiring to be his own financial boss,

1arge... As a boy Pilstrom was sent to a home for
the feeble minded, where he made some small
improvement. After returning home
he entered the Onawa schools, and at the age of
26 years he had mastered the seventh grade.
His father left him a valuable estate, and
an uncle also willed him considerable property.
Ed. S. Cody was the temporary administrator,

guardian. The evidence in the case showed
that Pilstrom is overanxious to marry.
Letters showing his fondness for several

stated that if Pilstrom were allowed
to manage his finances he would waste his
money in a short time on designing women."
