SEEKS TO RECOVER LOST FUNDS

Margaret Oliver Said to Have Sunk $200,000 in Muncie School. Muncie, February 28.—Although Margaret Oliver, the Chicago woman of wealth, who is said to have dropped $200,000 in the promotion of the Muncie National institute here, has not yet recovered ik she is said by local attorneys to have prepared an intervening petition in connection with the suit brought this week by the institute as a corporation, against Ball Brothers, the Muncie manufacturers, in which petition she charges the Balls with conspiring to obtain the school property at a price far below its actual value. The Ball Brothers bought the property at receiver's sale and have given it to the state for use as part of its Normal school system. The original suit now on file, to which Mrs. Oliver is a party, asks that the sale to Ball Brothers be set aside and the receivership restored.
