LAFAYETTE, IND, September 15.-
The Circuit Court has been occupied
for several days by an important case,
involving a considerable amount of
money. John l.. Reynolds, a brother
of General Joe Reynolds, died in
1876, leaving his wife and four chill
dren, named Floyd, Lille, Florence
and Jessie. The estate was very
valuable. Floyd has instituted suit
for partition, his mother and his sis
ters being the defendants. He alleges
that $4,000 in the bonds of the La
tayette and indianapolis Railroad
Company given to Lille by her father
at the time of her marriage. and a
like sum of $4,000 given to Florence
at the time of her marriage, should
be treated and held as advancements
made to them, and deducted from
their share Of the estate. Qhe ladies
claim the bonds were Gift. and
should not be charged as advance
ments. Floyd is charged on his
fathers books to the amount of
S3l ,454, and the girls claim that this
must be deducted from his interest In
the estate. The contest is whether
the 100000 railroad bonds were
gifts or adyancements. If they were
the former, no account must be taken
Of thep, but if they are the latter,
then they must be deducted from
their interest in the estate.
The best legal talent IS is emnlovod
on the case. and it has attracted csn- ygu
