The Peoria company refused to pay a

rights OF these parties will probably be
determined this month or next. For a

Mr. Cable to sign paper, drawnlup by the

were also set forth in the paper, and it was
made a receipt in full, etc. The company

far, we have been unable to discern that a
single point has been made against any
