cided in the citys favor.

GUARDIAN, NAMED FOR
TRUST FUND, OPPOSED
Relatives of Millionaire Want to
Have Charge of Wealth
Left to Grandson

"A contest over the $4,000 trust fund
which Thomas B. Tomb, wealthy cat
tleman of Kansas City, Mo, desired to
establish for his grandson, Thomas 7.
Harbeson, 12 years old, was begun
yesterday before Judge Rives OF the
probate court.
Tomb, who came to Los Angeles Ill
and died here last May, devised an es-
tate valued at approximately $1,000,000.
One Of the desires mentioned in his will
was that 100000 should be devoted to
his grandson.
Henry M. Wisler, who claims to be an
old business associate of the testator,
produced a declaration of trust which
he alleged Tomb executed and by the
terms of which he was appointed the
trustee of the fund which he was to
invest and relnvest for the boys ben
eft. Wisler declared that 1t was the
testator's wish that the boys father
Frank f. o. Harbeson, should have
nothing to do with the trust fund.
The boys father and mother and Mrs.
Maria Tomb, the widow of the cattle
man, are opposed to Wisler's acting as
trutsee of the fund, saying that he ex-
ercised undue influence over the sick
man and obtained the proposed ap-
pointment by fraud.
