vided For.
Suits For Accident Insurance
Settled.
TERMS OF AGREEMENT sEClXET

II is probable that the city will re-
ceive all that was willed to 1t in the
will of the late William Bornemann.
The suit of Mrs. Jane Tyler Borne
mann to break the will has been
compromised. ana If the will stands
the city will receive the $2.5O0 for
the Riverside hospital; $4,000 for
the Home OF the Friendless; and
possibly the 81 500 for public drink
ing fountains. Attorneys admit thar
the suit has been compromised, but
would not dlvuise the details.
II seems assured that Riverside
hospital and the Home of the Friend
less will receive their requests, but
II is uncertain whether the money
for the drinking fountain will be re-
ceived, unless provision is made To
furnish ice for the fountain. What
Mrs. Bornemann will receive from
the estate is not known. In the will
she was given an allowance for five
years.
The suit TO force the payment of
two accident policies were compro-
missed at half the amount of the
policies. The companies refused pay
ment at first. alleging that Borne
man committed suicide.
The estate. consisting of life in
surance. is valued between $50. 900
and $4,000.
