a cessa ton in the shipment of them

been much better on their part to |
have taken the tubers which he had |
accumulated for them before they said |
"hOld up" There were two car loads |
of them and as the parties were in
this neighborhood it was thought |
best to fasten on to them before they
left for their home in Dacatur, Ill

Monday morning and found one of

turn home and had both parties here
Just in time for breakfast. On their
way up here the parties concluded
they would take the potatoes and a
compromise was effected with Mr..
Fairbanks. Their excuse for not
taking the murphies was that they
had notified their agent here some
time ago that they didn't want any
more at the price agreed upon The
! agent denied this, saying he had ip=
structions to buy all the potatoes he
could at 40 cents. s,
