ATTORNEY uNDER lNoicrMkNr.


Ottumwa, April, 29.-- William II. Utt,
a member of the law firm OF UT Bros.
.of Chicago, was Indicted here yester-
day by the district court grand jury
on the charge of embezzling $146,477.8S
from the estate left by his wife. Off
GERS in Chicago and Canton, Ca where
Utt owns big marble quarry, were
unable to locate him last night
The indictment of the grand jury is
the result OF an Investigation begun
by friends OF Miss Lucille i. Allen. a
niece of Mrs. sUtt. She is the heir to
most OF the estate. ,3a ~, M ",
Attorney for UT declare that he
knows about the indictment and will
appear on May at hearing to
answer the charge against him.
Mrs. UT died in French Lick
Springs. Ind, on Dec. s, 1908. Upon
her deathbed she signed will which
provided the sum or $4,000 for her
husband in accordance with prenup-
tial agreement and the bulk of the
remainder of the estate WAS to 60 to
Miss Allen. Her husband and w. w.
Cory, OF Ottumwa, were named as
executors, but Mr. Cory failed to
qualify.
BY the terms Of the will Miss Allen
was to receive $4,000 a year until she
reached 80 years Of age. Then she
was to receive an additional $4,000
every Ave years. When she reached
the age of so, she was to receive the
entire estate and IL she died before
reaching that age the estate was to
be, divided between the Ottumwa hos
pital and the poor Of the city.
The eatate consisted Of bonds. bank
stock. notes and property and was
valued at about s225,00o. Miss Allen
brought suit in the local court for her
yearly share and was awarded build
ing occupied by the Elks lodge In
settlement. It was found that the
building was heavily mortgaged and
Miss Allen had to sell 1t. -
There was clause in the will OF
Mrs. Utt which provided the loss OF
her share Of the estate should Miss
Allen demand an accounting at any
time. Therefore her friends placed the
matter before the grand jury without
her knowledge so the clause would not
be effective.

day. 1t Is considered fortunate that
the building was unoccupied at the
time, as otherwise there might have
been loss of life.
The rear walls of the adjoining
buildings to the east may have to be
torn out to avoid a recurrence of the
happening. The walls of the building
Immediately adjoining the wrecked
structure to the east are in a sad state
of decay, and II Is thought possible
that should more Of the support Of the

Nevada, April 2s.-The Lincoln High
way is going to be put In shape thru
story county as soon as the work can
be accomplished. Engineer Steigerwait
and the board, as well as the men VINO
have been doing the work, have peen
up against a peculiar condition ON the
Lincoln Highway as well as on some
Of the other roads of the county TINS
season. EE"
While the roads would be dried on
apparently and in good condition Tor
mile or so, suddenly mud hole OF
sink hole would appear, not inife-
ouently on the brow Of q hill. AS an
example on the very top of the large
hill this side OF Ames this spring. where
there were bitches or waterways TWO
feet deep on either side Of the crowned
grade, there was water oozing our OF
mud hole on the very crown at the
top Of the hill. Investigation develops
that this water is following down the
road toward the hill and II Is neces-
sary to place tile thru these places or
in some cases shut 1t off by the use
of a gravel waterway or trench across
the roadway thru which the water
course may be diverted to the bitches
or water courses by the road side.
Draining Bad Places.
Every effort is being made to drain
and fill these places but until some
disposal is made of the water there Is
little use OF filling the places and max
ing them passable as the continual rise
of the water keeps them soft and I'M
safe Another bad place has been on
the road mile and half west OF
town. opposite the Cessna place, ana
this is TO be drained out at the same
time the Cessna place is tiled and in
the meantime every effort will be made
to keep IL passable. There are num-
Der of jobs of draining OF this character
being done over the county now.
