STABK TBIAL ON. 



On a change of venue from the Pike 

 County Circuit court, the Stark family 

 ease was put on trial September 22 

 in the Circuit court of Audrain county, 

 at Mexico, Mo. The case is receiving 

 a great deal of publicity, because of 



the magnitude of the interests involved 

 and the character of the controversy. 

 A dispatch to a Kansas City paper 

 said: 



/'The case of William P. Stark vs. 

 Stark Bros. Nursery & Orchard Co., 

 Edgar W. Stark, Lloyd C. Stark and 

 Eugene Duncan, which went to triial 

 in the Audrain County Circuit court 

 today, promises to be one of the big- 

 gest and longest trials ever witnessed 

 in the local court. A receiver is asked 

 for the largest nursery company in 

 the world, involving property worth 

 more than a million dollars. The case 

 was brought here from the Pike County 

 Circuit court on a change of venue."
