Sedalia, Mo, Feb. 9-Mrs. Lucille
Morris, travelling representative OF
the Western Library Company, OF
Omaha, Neb., who is making her
headquarters in Sedalia, received in
formation through her attorneys on
Monday that the efforts of the heirs
of @. E. Allison to break his will,

scheduled at $150,OOO, to Mrs. Nor
ris, had been defeated and she would
come into possession of her fortune
in a few weeks. Mrs Morris is an

Do and What We Didn't Do" Mrs.
Morris fortune came to her in a
rather romantic manner. While q
girl in her teens she met @. E. ALI
son in Butler, Mo, and they fell in
love with each other, but she was
engaged at the time to marry L.
Morris, professor in the Central
Business College of Sedalia. She
kept her troth with the professor
and they were married. Prof. Nor
ris and wife did not live happily and
Mrs. Morris secured divorce from
her husband in Illinois three years
ago. Allison, Mrs. Morris former
admirer, who was a mining pro
moter and had become the owner of
valuable gold mining property in
the State of Sonora. Mexico, met
Mrs. Morris in Kansas City last
summer, and after short courtship
they were to be married in the early
fall. Allison, however, became sick
before the day set for the wedding
and in a few hours before his death
he willed all his property to the
woman who was to have become his
wife. Relatives of Allison interposed,
but the courts have decided that the
property belongs to the divorced
wife of Prof. Morris Mrs. Morris
will continue as travelling represen-
tative of the Omaha company until
when, acting upon the |
advice of DR.. Parkhurst of New |
York City, she will enter the lecture
