Louis Warren Hill, second son of James J. Hill, is sued by seven of his nine siblings over his inheritance of the family's North Oaks farm and Burlington Northern railroad bonds totaling $750,000, all a gift from his mother, Mary T. Hill, shortly before her death. The "Allied Siblings" allege that their mother was not of sound mind and that Louis had intimidated her into bequeathing the legacy. The suit is eventually dropped because it could be proved that Mrs. Hill was competent when she made the gift.
