A LARGE ESTATE INVOLVED
Grandson OF Late T. 3. Holland, a
Springfield Banker, Files Suit to
Contest VIII.

A suit to contest the will of the late
T. B. Holland, which disposed of prop
erty worth more than a million dol
lars, was filed in the circuit court at
Springfield recently by Grady Holland
Sanford against other heirs of the
Holland estate. The petition alleges
that the will was procured by improp-
er influence of the defendants, espe-
cially the widow, Bertonia A. Holland,
who obtained property valued at ap-
proximately five hundred thousand dol
lars.
The petition also charges that Hol-
lands mind at the time of the sign
ing of the well, June II, 1913. had be-
come so impaired by age and worry
that he did not comprehend what he
was signing. Holland received large
sum by reason of his marriage to his
first wife, Matilda Dade, the contest
ants grandmother, of whom Grandy
Sanford is the only heir. The will dis
tributed the property as follows Mrs.
Bertonia Holland, widow, $5O0,OO0;
Bertha Simmons, $160,000; Louise Jar
rett, 100000; Charles Holland, wife
and children, $230,O00, and Grady Hol-
land Sanford, $62,50O.

TRACTS CLEARED OF MALARIA
Gratifying Progress Has Been Made
by Those Interested In Conquer
ing the Disease.

Malaria, to which children are sus-
ceptible, has been made largely a pre-
ventable disease by a study of the
mosquito carrier, its breeding places
and natural history, and by inocula-
tion experiments on animals and man.
1t was proved by Italian observers
that the mosquito disseminates bird
malaria in the same manner as in the
human subject.
The final upshot of these inyestiga-
tions has been that large tracts OF
hitherto waste and dangerous land
have been rendered safe and produc-
tive. A widespread cause of debilitat-
ing sickness. and even of death. has
thus been removed.
In such areas the saddest sight has
been the stunted, anemic children,
with enlarged livers and spleens, the
evidences Of chronic malarial poison
ing, that can now be obyiated by put
ting modern knowledge into effect.

A BANDIT GIVES HIMSELF UP
John WiIkerson, Who Robbed VIII
Evansville Bank, Saw Brother Drown
Before Surrenderine.

After evading two posses all night,
seeing his brother drowned and being
wounded himself, John Wilkerson OF
Greenville, ten miles from Williams
Vile, stopped at a farm house just
south Of Mills Springs, at 10 o'clock
in the morning and asked that the
sheriff be called to arrest him for
robbing the Williamsville State Bank.
After he had been arrested he con-
fessed, it is said He told how he and
his brother, Frank, had planned the
robbery.
Frank was shot as they tried to
swim across Black River About the
middle of the river John Could no
longer hold his brother above the
water He saw he would either have
to drop him or both would drown.
After he let his brother go he seized
snag and watched his brother go
down. Frank had been shot in the
arm and leg by the constable and his
leg and arm were broken.
The president, the cashier and three
directors, one of them woman, of the
Williamsville State Bank were locked
in the bank vault by the two masked
robbers, who escaped with loot of
about S1,500 cash. Bloodhounds and
a large posse Immediately started in
pursuit of the men.
The robbers entered the bank dur
ing a meeting of the board of direc-
tors. In locking the directors in the
vault the robbers overlooked large
amount of cash stored there. They
took all the money in sight at the
cashiers cage.

Judge Van valkenburgh Names
a Temporary Successor to
E. C. Bland.
HAD HELD THE OFFICE BEFORE
Adjournment of Congress Ended Term
Of Wilson's Appointee for the
Western District of Missouri.

Henry Miller has been appointed
temporary Uhited STATES marshal for
the Western district of Missouri by
Judge A. S. Van Valkenburgh, acting
under instructions from Washington
to the effect that temporary appoint
ment was necessary. The term of Ew-
ing G. Bland, recess appointee since
December expired with the adjourn
ment of Congress, leaving the district
without marshal. Mr.. Miller held
the position after the resignation OF
A. j. Martin in February, 1914, until
December. when Bland was appointed
by the President
w. n. Collins, postmaster by the
same sort of an appointment, holds
over in his position by regulation in
the postal department, requiring that
the incumbent must remain in office
until a successor is provided, whether
his appointment has been confirmed
by Congress or not. Mr.. Collins is
resting easy" his pay continuing un'
til the President sees fit to act. Bland S
appointment was not confirmed by
Congress.
All the deputies and office assist
ants in this district received new com
missions when Judge Bland went into
office, as recess appointee of the
president These commissions were
in force until the adjournment OF con
gress.
. The entire force will now be recon-
missioned, and the business of the
court will proceed as usual.
