WILL Of CRANK
TO Be CONTESTED
Colonel Smell Tries to Hold His
Fortune Together After
Death.

Bloomington. Ill. Aug. 5.-The probating
OF the viii of Colonel Thomas Smell is
causing lively interest in central Illinois
and northern Iowa where he had property
valued at nearly 100000. Of five chill
dren, only one son, Richard Smell of Gin
ton, Ill, is living. Yet Colonel Smell cut
off this only son entirely. In fact. the en-
tire estate is put in trust and is not to be
distributed until twenty years after the
Geath OF the youngest heir The youngest
daughter of Mrs. William V Dinsmore of
San Jose. Cal, is the youngest heir-at-
law and should she live until seventy years
OF age, the estate will remain in trust for
twenty years longer than that, or ninety
years.
1t is estimated that if the directions of
the teStatOr are carried out to the letter
and the estate not divided for seventy
its earnings, amount close to a billion
dollars
Smell Was FIighty.
The heirs-at-law will attempt to show
that the eccentricity of the testatOr in
capacitated him from making an equitable
distribution of his property. and they will
seek to have the will set aside. In this
they will be strongly aided by the known
mental and physical failings of Colonel
Thomas Smell. Shrewd. close and grasp
ing by nature, he was at times fanciful
and flghty.
In war times he proposed the sacki1g
and burning of Louisville because some
of the residents refused to quarter union
troops in their households. For this he
was put in Jail by General Boyle. Colonel
Smell made his first big money building
railroads, starting with the Illinois Cen
tral when IL was first projected south
from FreepOrt. He built eight hundred
miles of that road and afterward one
hundred and fifty miles of a number of
other roads Later he turned his atten-
ton to manufacturing, banking and land
ed Investments.

Mayor Thompson was first elected IN
1900 as a Republican and served four
years as mayor He was superseded by
Richard p. Morris. a Democrat and then
defeated Morris for reelection in 1905.

Colonel Wall declined to consider the
proposition. He said.

MARTIN MAY QUIT

NEW YORK, June According to
the gossip of the Belmont Park paddock,
Jockey John Martin will soon retire
from the service of Messrs. Johnson,
Farrell and Sullivan According to the
friends of the jockey, he has not had
sufficient number of mounts and on the
sort of horses which can win TO pay
him to longer remain under the direction
Of the Big Three
The shelving of DR.. Gardner, Roseben,
and Whimsical leaves the well-known
confederacy without much first-class
racing material, especially as the stable
is weak in two-year-olds-
Martin is a rider who firds plenty OF
flrst-class engagements from the
Gravesend meeting until the autumn Of
Belmont Park. and he could do better
with his first call in the HANDS OF some
other stable. For this reason, II IS re-
ported, Martin may retire from his con-
tract with the "Big Three" should the
members feel disposed to release him
from obligation.
