BURGLAR CHLOROFORMS MOTHER AND CHILD
Huerta Takes Refuge in Fort
Collier Will Case
Nearing Decision

With the argument stage reached in
the will suit of Sanford Collier against
his brothers, John w Collier and George
w. Collier, for a one-tenth interest in
the estate of his father, the case was
expected to go to the jury Tuesday
afternoon.
Sanford Collier alleges that his broth
ers deceived him as to the actual value
of the estate and bought his interest
for very small sum at a time when
he was very much in need of funds.
He asks for $4,000, which he claims
was the real value of his share of the
estate.
