lowed. Whether the machine skidded
just at that time could not be ascer-
tanned. but 1t is obvious that travelling
at such high rate, the sharp turn
that was necessary, and the crossing
Of the tracks would certainly offer OPP
portunity for the driver to lose con-
troll Of his machine. When witnesses
rushed to the scene of the disaster and
disentangled the occupants from the
wreckage they found Meuman suffer

When Ignatz Victoria died in Mad!-
son county he divided his farm Of 327
acres, valued at $4,000, between three
| sons who remained on the farm, ac-
cording to the Bohemian custom. This
action was contested by the second
| wife of Victora, who claimed that doc
| uments deciding the property to the
boys were secured by fraud. Three
children OF Victora, who had left the
farm, and did not share in the division
Of the land, did not contest. In the
lower court the deeds were set aside.
Fred L. Van LEV, attorney for the
three sons, appealed the case to the

arguments to the high court In which
he held that the deeds are valid and
should be sustained.
