the time. They were backed against
the wall and searched by one roomer
while the other covered them with
pistol. Nothing of value was taken
from them. The highwaymen entered
the place unmasked, with revolvers III
each hand. One of the men, who ap-

The will of the late Thomas Grace
was filed for probate last Saturday,
with one section of the document
clipped away, but accompanied by a
carbon copy, which was preserved by
G. N. Bell, who drew the will, but is
unsigned. The cut away section, as
shown by the accompanying carbon
copy, is at the bottom of page and
provides for the disposal of the prop
erty at 142 West Fifth street to the
grandson, Thomas Grace. The eX-
planation of this mutilation, which
will probably not arouse any litigation,
will be made when the will is pro-
bated. The testator leaves the greater
bulk of his property to his son.
Thomas P. Grace, but he wills prop
erty at G1-G7 East Ninth street to his
daughter-in-law, Agnes Grace, and her
daughter, Lucille. Property at 143-145
West Fifth street is to be held in trust
for his granddaughter, Grace O'Hallo-
ran. All of the balance goes to the
son, Thomas P. Grace. Rev. Michael
Heffron and John Garfield are made
executors of the will.
