RELATIVES SUE

Tho $700,00 trust fund created by
tho lato Dr. Ilnrnard Daly to provide

Nilrvlvlng relative of Dr. Daly, whoso
homo are scattered from Ireland to
Italy, sook to break tho will which
established tho educational fund, on
technical ground.
Dr Daly, who died recently, was
on uld-lltne cltlzon of Lake county
and he donlrcd to lcavo tho fortune

young resident of hi home county.
In his will ho created a trust fund
Jot his ontlro fortune, tho dividend
of which were to be used In cnamg

Ilecauso of tho sparsoly populated
condition of Lake county, It was con-
sldcred highly probable that tho fund

Besides this, tho federal government
