Eldora, Jan. 26.-Judge Lee. who al
journed court here Saturday until to-
day and who listened to arguments oil
attorneys pro and con as to the right
OF the court to take the case Of Robin
son and Rainsbarger against Rains
barger from the jury and find for the
defendants, today rendered his decision
favora BILE to the defendants or propon-
ents. The case had been on trial here
before Judge Lee and jury for
the past ten days and has held the at
tenticn of a large number of Hardin
county citizens because OF the promi-
nence of the persons in litigation and
also on account of the fact of the
amount involved in the disposition OF
the case.
After delivering his findings to the
jury, Judge Lee asked Carl Barger. OF
Ackley, to step to the desk and sign I.
verdict as foreman Of the jury in ac-
cordance with the courts instructions.
The disposition and trial Of the case
has elected the earnest interest OF a
large number Of people here.
Under the will of the late William
Rainsbarger, who died at his home
northwest of Eidora about nine miles,
on Dec. 1, 1913. he gave the major por-
ton Of his property. real and personal
to his two sons. Jay and John Rains
barger. At the time of his death VIII
lain Rainsbarger owned about 2eU
acres of land in Clay township, Hardin
county, valued at something like s45.-
0D0,- and against which property there
was but little If any incumberance.
Two Sons Favored.
Shortly after the contents of the Will
became known the elder son, George
Rainsbarger, living on farm near the
old homestead, and his sister, Mrs.
Robinson, Of Marshalltown, brought an
action to break the force of the will.
alleging undue influence on their father
by the brothers who were given the
larger share of the property and the
benefits Of his bounty, and also alleging
that William RainsDarger at the time
the will was drawn was not Of sound
mind. The will was drawn Aug. 8. 1918,
and Mr.. Rainsbargerldfed the following
December. A large nomber Of witnesses
gave testimony in the case. some OF
whom testified that they visited Will
liam Rainsbarger at his home few
days before his death and that his mind
was clear tho the body was weak from
sickness of months.
The court finds that the will was
properly executed, that there was no
undue influence and that-s William
was of,soundr mind at the
time Of making fsthe will. The case
will undoubtedly go to the supreme
court

Des Moines. Jan. 27.-The fight for
pure linseed oil which has been under

declared to be getting results. There
have been probably hundred prosecu-

1t is found that petroleum products are
mixed with the linseed oil, and that ex-

paint peels off Of houses. But 1t is
presumed that the cases prosecuted
comprise but very small percentage
OF the entire number of cases of adul-
teration. One trouble Iowa has is in
that other states have done nothing
toward stopping the evil of adultera-
ton of linseed oil and it is compare
lively easy to have the poor stuff ship
