SUIT TO CONTEST RLoM WILL.

Special to Times-Republican.
Eldora. June 2S.-A suit was filed in
the district court in this county Tues
day that will more than likely create a
mild sensation when it comes to trial,
being scheduled for the August term
The action is one brought by the
brothers and sisters of the late George
Blom, of Ackley, who it will be re-
called committed suicide few weeks
ago at his home in Ackley The plain
tiffs claim a certain instrument, al
legged to have been Mr.. Blom's last
will and testament, gave to the Ackley
attorney who drew the will practically
all of the money belonging to Mr..
Blom. The plaintiffs further allege
that the attorney who drew the will,
has since that time kept it in his pos
session and that George Blom at the
time of the making Of the will was
Of unsound mind and mentally unable
to enter into any business proposition.
Mr.. Blom was believed to have been
worth some $4,000 or Sc, 900 at the
time the will now in controversy was
drawn. The plaintiffs will contest the
prObating Of the will on the ground of
fraud, duress and undue influence.
