Litigation.
is ALL ONE SIDED
Defendants as Far as Possible Assist
Contestants i'm Effort to Prove
Testatrix Incompetent.

The Hanson will contest. by which
it is sought to break the will of the
late Albertine Hanson, was concluded
in the circuit court today after a
weeks trial, and was given> to the
jury.
The will contest was a very unusual
bit of litigation, and in fact is the
most remarkable will contest that has
ever been tried in the Rock Island
circuit court. Mrs. Albertina Hanson
in her will gave her two sons, John
Albert Hanson and Carl Oscar Han
son, life interest in the real estate
which is valued at something like
$4,000. On the death of her sons the
property, according to the will, is to
go to the grandchildren. The will
leaves the property in such shape thai
it is depreciating in value, and the
heirs seek to have the title changed
SO that the property can be kept up.
All ON One Side.
The remarkable thing about the case
lis that the defendants were allied en-
tirely with the compliments, and ii
fact testified in favor of the breaking
of the will. The complainants are thu

USE TRACTION ENGINE
IN WORKING THE ROADS
Example of Henry County Might BE
Followed With Profit i'm Rock
Island County.

Over in Henry county, where they
have some system in caring for their
dirt roads, Kewanee township has pur-
chased a 16-horse power traction en-
CINE at cost of $1,000 for the pur-
pose of drawing graders and drags.
II will take the place of eight horses
and will do the work much better and
faster Not only this, but it will be
available at times when the roads
most need attention and when the
horses of the farmers in the district
are demanded for farm work
Several traction engines could be
used with profit in Rock Island county
in the same manner. Such an outfit
with suitable machinery to do the
work, will come nearer solving the
road problem in this community thar
anything else yet in sight.

SHOULD MAKEUSE
Of HILL BASINS
Engineers Appear to Be of This
Opinion Regarding the Fill
ter System.
MAY RECOMMEND CHANGES
While They Are Reluctant to Discuss
Matter Yet, Report on the Sub
ject Is Expected.

While the board of consulting engin-
GERS now at work on the plans, speci-
fications and bids for the proposed fill
ter plant are reluctant TO discuss the
proposition, the impression seems to
grow that the engineers will make i'm
portant recommendations relative to
altering the entire plan. AS suggested
by The Argus yesterday, the engin-
GERS are considering the possibility of
concentrating the filtering system at
the present reservoir plant, and doing
all the filtering there, at the same
time devising some method of lessen
ing the cost of raising the water to
the hill, and making the plant such
that ample filtration will be possible
the year round.
Making Thorough study.
The engineers. John w. Alvord of
Chicago. George p. Prince of Denver
and the city engineer, Wallace Treich-
Ter, are making q thorough study of
the situation, and are going into the
plans very carefully. Mr. Alvord has
remarked several times since he first
looked over the local waterworks
plant that to his mind there should
be some method of utilizing the reser-
voir plant to its fullest capacity He
considers it a fine system of basins,
and first class in every way. The
only obstacle appears to be the cost
of pumping the raw water to the ba-
sins on the hill, and if the engineers
can devise some way of overcoming
this, their recommendations will like
ly contain plans for an, entirely differ
ent arrangement than has been con-
templated so far.
