HEAVY SUIT. In the Supreme Court in
Chicago, yesterday, a remarkable suit in chan
Gerry came up for trial which involves city
property valued at 100000. The suit is
brought by Henry Uhlich, eldest son Of the
late Carl Gottatride Uhlich, who had three
sons; Henry disagreed with his father, and the
two younger sons were OF weak intellect. The
old man Just before his death, confding in
John Ii. Muhhke, entrusted his affsirs to the
latter's management, and died intestate. He
had, however, directed that his son Henry
should receive $4,000 worth of property, his
second son small monthly allowance, and that
the remainder should be divided between his
youngest son and Mublike The latter thus
receives about 5000, OOO but Henry claims that
his father was completely under Muhlike's in
fuence, and appeals against such division Of
the property. The two younger sous and
Muhlike defend the suit.
