March 27, announced Monday that a reward of $."0 would he paid to the person supplying information which would lead t the recovery of the stolen property or the apprehension of the thieves. Mr. and Mrs. Llllson were not at heme on the night of the robbery and the thieves- entered the house and carried away at least a drayload of property. It would have been impossible for them to take the good.-: except upon a vehicle of some n;t. ture. All of .dr. Lllison's clothing, Mrs. Kllison's clothing, all the silverware, linen rroods, including table cloths, hand made goods, curtains, table lamp-., rags, and other such property was take i by the burglars. Much of the property was hand made linens, etc., which were wedding presents and gifts and were highly valued by '.Air. and Mrs. 1'llison. As far as can be learned the police have failed to get any trace of the thieves and Mr. Lllison has offered the regard in the hope that some trace of the property can be secured.

Reuben Xey and others are the complainants while the St. Joseph Lmn and Trust Co. as oxecutor is the defendant. I"or three weeks the issues in this case was tried in c ircuit court. The trial came to an abrupt halt list Friday when F. J. Ixwvis Meyer, following the overruling of a motion to take the case out of the hands- of the jury and grant a. new trial, dismissed the suit just before it was to be given to the jury for a verdict. Atty. Meyer based his motion on the fact that three jurors, hearing the evade nee, talked with three witnesses. The conversations did not relate to the will contest, and because ef this the court refused to sustain the motion. The allegations in the case filed Monday morning are substantially tho same as were presented in the dismissed suit. Property valued at llca'.ooo is involved.
