REQUESTS TO HIS FAMILY
General Dimond's Will Dis
eliminates Between His
Children.
The Education of the Daughter Cared
For-Small Sums 10 Two
Sons.

The will of General W. 81. Dimond was
yesterday filed for probate.
According to its provisions two of his
sons, William w. Dimond and Harry w.
Dimond, get only $4,000 each. The legacy
of the latter is placed in the hands OF
Edwin R. Dimond and the Union Trust
Company IN trust for him, he to receive
its earnings until the trustees see fit to
deliver the $4,000 to him. The balance of
the property is to be equally divided be-
tween Edwin R. Dimond and his two sis
ters, Mrs. Paul Jarboe and Mrs. Joseph
Tobin. The shares of the two ladies are
also left in trust with Edwin R. Dimond
and the Union Trust Company. 1t is
thought that other provisions for the two
sons were made before the generals death.
