LARGE FEES IN WILL CASE.

Plaintiffs in Caldwell Case, Dissatisfied, May Again Take Up Fight. Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 3.—The celebrated Caldwell will case, involving an estate of $1,500, which was recently compromised, probably will be reopened. A few days ago in the Benton county court the plaintiffs, who were stfing to set aside the Will, accepted a compromise in the form of $250,000, which was to be paid to them in installments. Dissension has arisen among the plaintiffs and there is .talk of making a move to set aside this judgment.

The court today awarded large fees to a number of the attorneys in the case. J. D. Chancellor, of Fowler, who affected the compromise, received a fee of $15,000. Kumbler & Gaylord, of this city, re ceived $20,000 in payment for services to the plaintiffs. Stuart, Hammond & Stuart received $34,500 for services to the estate, and Frazer & Isham, of Fowler, received $23,100 for their services.
