GEORGE N. TR|MBLE
CLEARED Of BLAME
BY STATES ATTY
ALL CHARGES AGAINST UNION
AGENCIES co. BY KENDALL
COUNTY PROSECUTOR HAVE
BEEN NoLLE PRESSED.

George NJ. Trimble, prominent Ot-
tawan. who was indicted by the De-
cember grand jury at Yorkville, has
been completely indicated of any
connections with the failure of the
Union Agencies Company an insur-
ance selling concern, which becan e
defunct after large blocks of stock
were sold in Kendall, Grundy, La Sale
and other counties in Illinois.
Messages sent by States Attorney y
Oliver NJ. Burkhart of Yorkville, bear
the joyful tidings to Mr.. Trimble and
his friends in Ottawa. who are legion.
AT no time, it might be said, however,
did anyone in the city who knows Mr..
Trimble's reputation for honor and up
righteousness doubt but the action
taken by Mr.. Burkhart would be tie
ultimate outcome OF the pretendt d
case against the Ottawa man.
Facts borne out by MIR. Trimble's
own statements. together with rec
ords of the defunct company, show
that instead of being dragged inio
criminal court proceedings by Ken.
dali county investors" Mr.. Trimbls
should have been given by them vo,e

of sinking nearly all his life's earn

Trimbles personal losses in the or
ganization show he backed the com
pany to the extent Of $22 1000. all OF
which was sacrificed to preserve tDf
Union Agencies from failure.
The indictments against Mr.. Trimbl,
were nolled after searching investi
cation by States Attorney Burkbart
who went into the case from all an
giles before taking the step he did. He
states in his word to Ottawans that
in his Judgment, after thoro exam
ination of all evidence, there was moth
ing disclosed to indicate that Mr.
Trimble was guilty Of any wrongdo'
ing in any respect whatsoever
The indictments, when they were re
turned by the grand jury at Yorkville,
caused a wave of indignation to sweep
over this city Friends of Mr.. Trim
BILE hastened to apprse him of their
confidence in him. This was quite
consoling to Mr.. Trimble and helped
to bear him up under the cloud that
had been cast upon him in such an
unfair manner.
In Ottawa. where he has always
lived, Mr.. TrimbIe always identified
himself with those things which meant
for the good of the city and its people
AS for anyone questioning his motives
or his honor, or his integrity such
things were undreamed of by the
hosts who knew and respected him at
home
At last there seems to be justice in
Justice. Mr.. Burkhart today Is being
warmly congratulated from all sources
for the wiseness Of the move that
caused him to obliterate from Mr.
Trmble's name any connections with
the Union Agencies fasco, at the same
time removing from him the odum OF
having to stand trial when his limo
cence was so apparent to all who
were closely associated with his life
present and past.

try to emulate his good deeds.
Be it further resolved: That we
extend our deepest sympathy to
the family who have lost so much
in husband and father and offer
them the consolation of a bright
hope for the eternal welfare of the
